Welcome to the BlogCatalog Blog

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Hey Guys,

Welcome to the first post on our all new BlogCatalog Blog! It has been bugging me for months that we are BlogCatalog and don’t even have a blog of our own so we finally found the time to make it happen.

First and foremost I want to thank each and every one of you who visit our site. As many of you may or may not know BlogCatalog has been around for a while but we (the new management) recently purchased the website a couple of months ago and have been making improvements ever since. The response in the blogging community has been amazing thus far and the website has been growing at an amazing rate! The website has seriously broken all expectations for what we were originally hoping to achieve and the success has only made us even more excited to add more and more!

Now that we have this blog we have a chance to keep you guys updated and get even more feedback for you on how to make the site even better. Seriously, this is YOUR website bloggers! If there is a feature you want to see or something doesn’t sit right with you then let us know! We encourage any and all communication because we really want bloggers and the BlogCatalog community to shape the future direction of the website.

We have some cool stuff on the production line right now, don’t know how much I can mention right now but I am pretty sure I can say that we are working on cleaning up the layout, adding some premium membership accounts, teaming up with some other blogging websites, and working on a few other special features that you should see rolling out in the next few weeks.

It’s an exciting time and we love the support we have gotten so far, I am really excited about this blog and look forward to picking out some of our more popular users each week and doing a little spotlight on people we thing really make our community special.

This is only the beginning so keep visiting because the best is yet to come!

    Awesome! Good idea guyz, a cool “blogging” website/directory/forum needs a blog, that’s for sure! Looks nice too!
    Grabbed the RSS Feed.

    Good work guyz!

    I love what you guys are doing, I would love to see a tools page and other practical applications.

    Please don’t go the way of blog explosion and add garbage like a chat box, a radio program, or other things that really don’t help anyone.

    I didn’t know that you guys are “new management.” In that light, I feel like a charter member. Coolness. :)

    Excellent! A blog for BlogCatalog - about time too…

    Can’t wait to see what you have in the pipeline and hopefully subscribing to the feed will keep me up to date with all the news.

    Oh yeah, in true cymru66 fashion, I just added you to my Technorati faves…

    Nice work!

    Nice for a blog service to have a blog. ;-)

    Now I’m subscribed, and don’t have to worry about forgetting your service. If I do, you’ll hopefully update, and I’ll see that and remember to come check things out again!
