With the hosting moves in the past two months and a new job I am only now getting around to welcoming our two new bloggers. I did get them added to the banner, the sidebar and the other pages where we list our bloggers and Community Page members.

Rimfire Hunter and Mr. B have joined us as bloggers and are adding to the blogs and our SurvivalistsSite.com community. Rimfire Hunter has a community page up and running while Mr. B is working on his.

Thanks Rimfire Hunter and Mr. B for choosing SurvivalistsSite.com to host your blogs and Community Pages.

It has been an interesting couple of months. Our original host was having issues that caused down time and slow server repsonce. We spent two months researching web hosts so that we wouldn't have these problems. We chose a web host and moved in June. Soon after moving the our host began having problems that were even worse than the first host. After less than month we were forced to admit that we had to move web hosts again.

We moved web hosts for the second time in 30 days over the Independence Day weekend, so much for my 4 day weekend. Little issues have cropped up that should finally be resolved. In the past month the latest host has proven to be stable and we are happy with things as they are now.

I am looking forward to not having to move web hosts for some time. There is a planned web host move between January and March 2007 when we will be moving to a dedicated server. This will allow us to expand the offerings at SurvivalistsSite.com in many ways, including a lot more room for the downloads section.

Because of the high volume of spam in comments lately we now require registration in order to comment.

Registering is a simple process. You will need a valid email address in order to register, once you have filled out the registration form you will be sent an activation email to the email address you use to register.

Registered members will be able to track their comments, edit and update their comments, and will have access to other member only features.

SurvivalistsSite.com Blogs would like to welcome Brenda Nolen and her blog The Sustainable Home. Brenda also has a Community Page, Brenda Nolen's Passion Page. Links to Brenda's Blog and Community Page can be found on the sidebar to the right.

Brenda deals with quite a few issues related to emergency preparedness and survival in her Blog and on her Community Page. Here's a little something Brenda wrote herself:

"Sustainable living is doing everything we can to rely less and less on forces outside our homes for our daily lives. While we all need money, there are so many things we can do to lessen that amount dramatically, thereby relying more on ourselves and our own skills."

Now that we have a way to rate blog posts/articles/items we have created a new Best of SurvivalistsSite.com Blogs blog.

In the Best of SurvivalistsSite.com Blogs we will post a summary of the best posts/articles/items and a link to the original. What does it take for a post/article/item to be considered "best of"? To be considered "best of" a post/article/item will have to have:

- at least 10 votes
- and average score of at least 9

If you as a reader think a post/article/item is worth being considered "best of" then vote for it. The Best of SurvivalistsSite.com Blogs blog will be the one blog new people can check to find the very best survival information SurvivalistsSite.com Blogs has to offer.

Rating an article is YOUR way as a reader to help others find the best information our bloggers have to offer.

Once more we're updating the blogs. We have added the ability to ping new posts to multiple weblog listing sites and the ability to add Technocrati tags to blog posts

We've added few new features to the blogs in the last few weeks. People can now rate blog items/posts/articles and email them to a friend. Also new is expanded information on each member's profile page. You can see an example of what can be done on these expanded member profile pages by clicking on http://blogs.survivalistssite.com/blog/?memberid=2

Not all of the members have added additional information to their profiles yet. Some may choose not to.

We hope you will enjoy these new features.

Our newest blogger is Blueduck, his blog is The Lawball Game. Blueduck is one of the two hosts of BJ's Law Hour on TruthRadio, schedule and links on the sidebar.

Blueduck will be dealing with the legal or "just us" system in the US. He has lots of stories and examples to pass along. You can listen to BJ's Law Hour online or download past shows from the archives. Expect to hear lots of information regarding the legal system, the Constitution and other aspects from US history that have brought us to our current legal system.
