    The reason,as i or we will find some tech news that should of be a interest to us all on this site,that ad did not post.

    if i find a good article i have no place to post it...as posting the article in All other topics to me does not cut it.


    i like this name..

    Your blog page maybe, as a short blog entry to summarize what is about and a link to it, like Slashdot does (simply copy-pasteing the whole text would be copyright violation, but copying phrase or two to summarize it and adding a link to original article is not)? The very reason why we did set up the blogs was to get stuff like this "stored" somewhere, as some of our users -- including you, ireland :) -- have obvious urge to add more valuable stuff to our site, but which doesn't necessarily fit into our "official focus".

    We plan to start using the users' blog entries quite widely across the site early next year once we get the final glitches fixed from profile pages and get couple of small additions done to the site.

    i agree, as we can put copying phrase or two to summarize it and adding a link to original article in the below board.if we had the board.and that way they would not have to go into our blog page to read..

    a rule to this fact can be made.(as we can put copying phrase or two to summarize it and adding a link to original article}

    Using your aD blog to it is the ideal solution. As soon all blog entries will be syndicated via RSS feed, it makes it very easy to read them via feed readers, etc. Posting to forums, they just tend to get "lost", due sheer volume of posts each day.
