Blogs Closing Jan. 2 to Add Enhancements

We want to let the blogging community at myFOXdfw.com know that the blog pages will be down for maintenance on Tuesday, Jan. 2 from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. For about 24 hours following that time, developers will also be on standby for possible bugs. FOX Interactive Media will use the time to transition to a new blogging platform.

On Wednesday, you should notice the first of several upgrades to the blog pages -- a "what you see is what you get" tool for editting text in your posts (font, size, alignment, color) and tools to embed links, photos or videos. Other new features are expected throughout January and February.

On a less formal note, the myFOXdfw.com staff has the ability to turn the video, photo and link embed tools on or off. When they are turned on, users can embed external web content and it will appear without waiting for any approval. Do you feel the community is mature enough to handle the priviledge?

Also, we know we promised a internal site search a few weeks ago. While the first deployment attempt flopped (search results weren't really coming back complete), the second build will be included with one of the upgrades in January or February.

I believe so. :)

I'm not looking forward to having to go without my favorite website for 4 hours *s* but I'm sure I can find something else to do. (fingers crossed... lol)

GOOD LUCK & many thanks!

Dang, GW. Didn't know you had it in ya.

I'm looking forward to the upgrades, but I don't know if I want to see the hideous fonts some people on this board are surely going to pick out.

AAAAAAAWW! You had to go and tell me bad news, GrayWolf! Well, :^p

Ok. I know how to fill 4 hours but 24? Maybe I'll survive.

Thanks for the information.
I don't think some of the bloggers on here are ready for font size. It already hurts the head to see all caps in blogs. As far as the video's that could be a good thing.

We are only expecting it to be down for 4 hours. We are just saying there's a good chance there might be some funky bugs for about 24 hours. The developers will be on standby all day that day to fix them as fast as they can find them rather than waiting until the next day.
