Want to share your photos to the world? You can share your photos on Bloggista.net easily in two ways.

First, you can put a widget on your sidebar and show your Flickr Photos by activating the flickrRSS plugin. Simply go to Plugins, find the flickrRSS plugin, activate it and follow the simple instruction found in Settings > flickrRSS.

This is the better way of sharing your photos since you will not be using up any space on your Bloggista.net blog (which is currently limited only to 20MB).

Or, if you like to share a few great photos of yours, you can upload it into your Album. To upload photos to your Album, go to your Profile and click on Album > Upload Picture.

Here’s a screenshot of the Album feature:

Browse the picture you want to upload and simply put a title and description of your picture. Click on ‘Upload Photo‘ once done.

It took some time to update this free wordpress blog due to some schedules that deprived me of the extra time to run the necessary upgrade.

What surprised me was that the upgrade to Wordpress 2.7.1 was easier than going to the toilet and flush it. The upgrade was automatic – unlike the previous versions where upgrading was really a painful experience for a guy like me not into this techie stuff.

And now the coolest part is – plugins can also be updated automatically, just like what the standard single user Wordpress blog does for quite some time.

So enjoy blogging – and watch out for new themes and more useful plugins soon.

Also, a Bloggista.net Forum will be added to serve as FAQ and Support site, and hopefully its community driven. I’m already tired of answering all issues and support queries by email.

Watch out for it!

It’s been two weeks since this Free Blogging Site was upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress. Consequently, all plugins were upgraded except for Commentluv plugin which seemed to be not working with this version of Wordpress.

A new feature of Wordpress 2.6.2 is the automatic display of the latest News and Post at Bloggista.net main blog page into the individual blog Dashboards – this ensure all Bloggista.net bloggers are informed and updated of any recent news, updates, changes and other useful information. But still, we strongly recommend that you subscribe to the email RSS feeds of the main blog.

New Themes are available that are compatible with Wordpress 2.6.2

New plugins were also added to help manage and improve the performance of each blogs. These are:

1. WP-Spamfree Plugin – a very powerful anti-spam plugin that eliminates spam in comments.
2. Ultimate Google Analytics – a plugin that enables each blog to track statistics: number of visits per day, where visitors came from, keywords searches, outbount links clicks, inbound links plus many more. Go check out the Plugins page of your blog and add the Ultimate Google Analytics plugin. Important: You need to signup for a Google Analytics account.

In the coming days, new plugins will be installed to improve the performance and speed of all Bloggista.net blogs.
