Outdoors Bloggers can now install Blog Catalog Widgets in their sidebars, with their own B.C. account of course.  After signing up for Blog Catalog (highly encouraged), activate the plugin, and drag the widget into the sidebar & click on the little options tab on the Blog Catalog widget.  Follow the instructions and, as always, direct any questions or trouble you encounter towards the forums.

Oh, and for you MyBlogLog fans, we’ve got a widget in the works for you too.

Monday, Oct. 15 is the international blog action day for the enviorment. Seems like something we can get involved with around here.  The idea is to cover up the blogosphere with enviormental causes on this day, and you can read the details here.

We’ve finally gone “live” with two new features here on OutdoorsBlogger:

1. Support Forums - a place to ask about promoting your blog, working with the post editor, plugins, widgets, and anything else that will help make your blog a success!
2. ODB’s Big Post Map - Now OutdoorsBloggers can mark there posts on our Big Post Map. No need to enter coordinates, or code anything… just activate the plugin and type in your location. Instructions and feedback here.

1. If you are an expert, get your due.

2. If you’re not recognized as an expert, here’s your chance.

3. If you’re a guide, it is a great way to build your business.
Guides: Blogging gives you exposure

4. Connect with like minded people.

5. Raise awareness to issues dear to you.

6. It could make you famous.

7. No website to mess with. No coding, html, or any of those other scary acronyms.

8. Multiple users can share a blog.

9. People want to hear from you. If you landed a huge tarpon, we want to see & hear about it. No, you don’t have to tell anyone where your favorite fishing hole or hunting stand is located.

10. It’s fun.

I’m sorry to inform everybody that we’ve been getting hit with a number of fake blogs containing spam links over the last few days.  I knew that as the community grew that this would be an obstacle, just not this soon. We’re implementing a number of countermeasures I write this, so hopefully the problem will be resolved in the next few days.
