CodeResolution, I checked advocate, isn't it hard for you to maintain the blogs? I think removing spam blogs is the hardest, coz you need a lot of readings to do.

YamiTatsuro, yes it gets a bit annoying sometimes. I'm planning on making a big change to advocate, a whole new start. Not just for blogging either. The domain 'advocate-network.com' has expired too, and I can't login to domains.ucoz.com as I don't usually use uCoz's domain service. I'm going to register a different name when I change the site wink

Black-Mage, as promised I'll give you an ice-cream.

Kind regards,
Elliott.

CodeResolution, so are you thinking of a whole re-image then with advocate or are you just going to change some of the basics? Going from the design you have now to another one would be quite a huge step site-wise. Are there many active users now that actually post meaningful blogs or has it just reduced to spam again?

Black-Mage, rofl, believe me. Everyone thinks that, the worse thing is though when you sorta know you're not in trouble and your inbox is telling you like 5 new. I dread opening it some days knowing the "Can you help me" messages are lurking there waiting for some poor innocent head mod to attack. xD I don't mind answering them though, helping is why I'm here.

Haha, see, cookies are amazing. wink Especially uCoz cookies. biggrin

Paradox, YamiTatsuro, I'm thinking of a full re-design of the website as well as it's features, purpose and so on. It will still be based on blogs, but it will also have more advanced publishing, free-ads (that aren't annoying), blog discussions...etc. I'm wanting to somehow intergrate Facebook into it somehow too. I may still keep the name 'advocate' as I still like it. Though like YamiTatsuro said, it'll be hard to find a domain that is still available.

Ohh okay, it sounds like it should be good concept wise. In all honesty I'm sure it will be just fine design wise with your ability... Hmm, if you can't find a domain that keeps the advocate concept and you decide to get rid of it as the name, you could still work it into a short description/slogan concept. Only a thought there.

With facebook, in what manner? API or just like the comments and such or are you thinking more wide-spread again. So registration and such?

Paradox, yes that's a good idea. It's a good word and I hope to use it as much as I can.

When I get round to refreshing the site, I may need some staff too wink Not much is required of staff, just occasional blog, announcement, event host and watch for spam or abuse...
I just want to get Facebook involved, as it is a large market. If the occassional Facebook user also blogged - which linked in to their Facebook it will attract more users.

Kind regards,
Elliott.

It is an affiliate program which uCoz run which allows users to gain income (.50c per referral) through referring the service to other members of the public, family, friends etc. It has been temporarily closed for a period.
