BlogBuilder Update
A new version of BlogBuilder has been released this afternoon:
New Feature: Creating a new blog is now a little more friendly.
First time users will see some links and some information and all users will receive an email welcoming them to WarwickBlogs and giving them a few links.
New Feature: Technorati pings.
You can now turn Technorati pings on on your blog on, which will send a notification to the Technorati website whenever you make a public post. You can turn these off and on per post also, and by default your blog will not notify Technorati.
New Feature: Making External Trackbacks
You can make related entries to blogs outside of the University, and (if their blog is set up well) they will receive notification that you have written a related entry.
New Feature: Deleting Internal Trackbacks
You can now delete internal trackbacks. The link from the original Warwick Blog will remain, but the link back from your blog to the original post will disappear.
Improvement: "No-Textile" rule for non-logged in commenters
Commenters who visit your blog without logging in can now use Textile in their comments.
Improvement: Comment and Trackback emails
Emails received when you get a new comment or trackback have been improved, so that they arrive with the correct sender name and email address (if they have been inputted) and the subject lines display a little better.
Improvement: Internal Trackback emails
You will now receive emails when someone within WarwickBlogs makes an entry that links to yours in the "Writing about…" field.
Fixed: Making trackbacks about other Warwick Blogs posts
When you make a trackback about another Warwick Blog post, it should now find the post that you are talking about and put the title of the post and blog in properly.

Info for WGA members
Follow-up to Info for leavers from Blogbuilder news
We will very shortly be giving out new usernames and passwords to WGA members who have opted to keep their blogs.
If you have not yet emailed blogs@warwick.ac.uk stating that you'd like to keep your blog, please do so now.
Please send the following details to blogs@warwick.ac.uk
- WGA membership number (will be something like your old library/university id number)
- Your new email address
- Preferred name on your new account (if you are a William Bloggs and like to be called Will Bloggs, we can now do this)
We'd just like to mention again that no blogs with any content in them will be deleted unless we are specifically asked to delete them by their owners. We will however be deleting empty blogs over the summer at some point.
