Instablogs Community is now two weeks old. We have restricted the initial membership to only few members at the moment. We all want to invite our friends, but believe me guys rules are same for everyone. Lets first fix the small bugs, and design the few pages left, before any of us gets to invite anyone.

Please do keep sending us your feedback, its very important for us. Our team reviews all your feedbacks daily and I believe most of the top issues have been resolved.

Updates

1. Quick Inbox, Send Messaging, Add a friend, Accept Pending Requests are working fine now.
2. Now you can`t add yourself as your friend. Thanks Pratyush for spotting it.
3. Few guys have been promoted to editors. New editors can find Editor tab next to Personalize tab in Admin Panel.
4. We are doing more stress testing on the network. There might be some temporary outages, but no need to worry if you see that, if that happens, the problem will be solved as soon as possible.

And for newcomers, the best way to get a feel about what you see and do do in Instablogs Community is to start browsing channels in our ReadingRoom.

There is an healthy debate going on between our community members over the issue of giving more power to readers.

1. In coming days you CANNOT edit/delete/modify any comments left by readers on your blog posts. You can only rate/flag a comment.
2. Only members of Instablogs can post comments on community as well as 100+ blogs under Instablogs Network. Though you don`t need to be a member to read posts/articles or browse through community members’s blog, profiles etc.

The decision to disallow bloggers to edit/modify comments on their own blogs might pinch a few bloggers. Since few powers exerted by our writers in past won`t be there. But for a collective platform which is going to bring bloggers and readers closer, this is surely going to help. Afterall people who spend time on your blog reading your posts and giving comments should be treated with more respect. Healthy communities work best when all people participating have equal power. We are trying to treat every comment left on a post or article on Instablogs Network, as a post itself. Whenever a comment is rated positive, the background-color will be more darker, so it will highlight the good comments more.

We are also working on a system to rate all comments, and highligh the top comments left in each channels.
