Spfldbloggers.com

Are you a blogger in Springfield? Chances are you are listed in a blog directory for all Springfield IL bloggers. http://www.spfldbloggers.com/ has been up and running thanks to After Hours Development. The website itself is an RSS feed of all the blogs that are related to Springfield. If a blog posts something new, it shows up on the site. Its a great directory of blogs that are around springfield. If you want your blog added to their database, send them an email and they should get back to you and add you.

For this reason, I have added spfldbloggers to our website links.

New Site Features

Welp, I know this site isnt used much. I still need to get to work on advertising but I feel that all the puzzle pieces are in place to make this site work as well as it can with the tools that I have.
Some of the new noted features:

  • The chat room now fully works, including a help bot named TalkSpringfield that sits in there 24×7 unless my server dies.
  • A new review template. The link lets you just fill in questions about the business you want to review. It will make all the posts look the same. In the future I can use this to help make a search able interface!
  • Ad Managment. Currently theres no ads but the google ones.. and only once per page if theres more than 6 replies to a topic. This is very lean, but as we develop sponsors, or just want to advertise somone it will be easy to do.
  • Birthday posts. Birthdays are special. A bot will wish you a happy birthday via forum post..  We will also send you a email or just a personal message based on your profile settings.
  • People can now add comments to your profile. This might be good for small reviews of businesses or just letting everyone know how helpful a individual is.
  • When you first join, the bot makes a topic in the introduce yourself section. We really want you to say hi, thats the whole point of this site!
  • Theres a TalkSpringfield watermark on all of the images added to our site if you use the attachment feature. This is just to let people know who is hosting it if they hotlink to it. Other sites may just not allow it, but we want to be as social as possible. Go ahead and send the picture to others.

We hope you enjoy the site and if you could, please!!!! share this link on your facebook to get us some more followers as well as registered users. Soon we will be able to allow people to register on the forum with their facebook credentials, but until then, we offer OPENID as well as standard registration.

Integrate Facebook with our Forum

In an effort to get the word of mouth rolling, we have integrated facebook into our page. You can link your fb profile picture, update your statuses, check your wall ect all from within the forum. Most of all we would love you to use the features to help promote TalkSpringfield by making comments, liking posts, sharing entire topics and just helping us get the word out!

New users can register with facebook (no usernames or passwords to have to worry about) and existing users can integrate their accounts to a facebook linked one.

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to integrate:
