Imo it would be nice to have a blogroll sidebar, a list of friend's blog links basically (even if restricted to DC blogs).

A followers/following list like twitter would be cool too.

+1 to OP suggestion. Have a question for any bloggers-can you edit the title/description of your blog any time after you create it? (can't imagine why you couldn't but always does to check.)

Thanks

Hi Slowjoe,

No, we do not currently have any plans to develop this feature.

Thanks,
Rob

I'd like to see the recommended videos replaced by latest blogs (or my favorite blogs)
.....or maybe a 4th column.

Blogs really do not get the visibility they deserve.

Is there any way to aggregate a private version of blogroll within "MYDC"? I could just use a bookmarks folder...

Nope - if you're looking to follow specific blogs right now the best ways to do that would be through the reader (http://www.deucescracked.com/reader), through RSS (subscribe to their RSS feeds), or to bookmark them.

You mean going 4 wide? Always up for a DC & NASCAR parody.

LOL ...... I think that is what I used to like about watching NASCAR over F1 (open-wheel). The cars can sometimes keep going after big crack-ups. F1? little bumps=game over (albeit in spectacular fashion)

But yeah, there is a lot of really good stuff on the DC Blogs. They often surprise me -- when I remember to look. Just an idea to get them some marquee space (visibility). Just an idea. Wink

Or if you're really ballsy, you can drink from the firehose. Pop this into your Google Reader: http://www.deucescracked.com/blog_entries/feed

Any plan to increase the visibility of blogs, both member and coaches? I don't know how many people click past the frontpage of the blogs section, but if yours is not one of the 5 most recent it goes "below the fold". I really like the DC blogging interface and wished more people used it and read other peoples'.

Ya the recent featured posts section is pretty redundant (or atleast not very useful at that size) as there's like 4 new articles per year. Would be cool to shrink that down to allow some more space for blogs which atm only get like 3-12 hours of visibility before they're pretty much gone (to most people).

Also agree that DC's blog interface is badass, easily the best of any of the training sites. Got to show it off more guys!

I'd actually like the number of posts on the front page to be configuration option, like the number of forum posts per page.

Thanks for the suggestions & feedback, guys. Glad to hear that you're liking the blogs & the blog platform. We don't have any immediate improvements marked for development but I'll keep this in the back of my head as something we should increase visibility of.

thanks,
Rob
