Come Blog With Us -- Add Your Feed
We are pleased to announce the lastest feature for our Terrablogging community. Beginning today we will allow non-Terrablogs bloggers to have their entries listed on the frontpages of Terrablogs domains. In the past our frontpages were reserved for those that had signed up for free blogs through Terrablogs. However we will now begin allowing non-Terrabloggers the opportunity to join our community. We will still require that these bloggers have a connection to the city/place associated with the domain they sign up for and that their blogs are non-offensive in the ways defined in the TOS.
So, if you would like to join our little community and maybe drive some extra traffic to your blog please sign up by clicking the "signup" button on the blog domain for your city/place. Once you sign up we will take a look at your site and validate your feed. If you check out then we will add you to the list and your entries will begin to appear on the frontpage for which you signed up.
As a test case we've included this blog, The Official Terrablog (TOT), as an rss feed indexed blog on all domains other than Chattablogs (sorry Chattablogs, you've already got TOT in your index). You'll notice that the entries from standard Terrablogs have this icon: 
to the left of the entry listing, whereas rss feed indexed blogs with have this icon: 
in the same position.
Pros:
- You can host your own blog
- You can use whatever Content Management System (CMS) you like, as long as it produces a valid RSS or ATOM feed
- If you already have a blog you don't have to worry about getting all of your entries imported
Cons:
- You have to deal with your own spam
- Your comments are not indexed. (In the future we may allow for comment indexing through a comments rss feed, but not just yet).
- Links to your entries will go through a "landing" page where disclaimer is displayed
- You have to do your own tech support
So, if you'd like to enjoy being a part of one of the Terrablogs blogging communities while having your site hosted elsewhere, here's your opportunity.
