Due to experiencing quite a few problems on the site, I have moved it over to a new server, the old hosting was just not up to it :( The move seems to have gone well, with minimal downtime, its a lot faster now, so thats better all round (and it means I can get through the queue faster!)
Apologies to all who are waiting in the queue, I will get to you as soon as I can.

If you have difficulty logging in, please read the announcement in the forum
You can finally edit your account details now! BOOKMARKS
You can (if logged in) bookmark your favourite entries in LS BLogs, and you can also view the list of your bookmarks, and re-arrange their order (so your favourite blogs are at the top of the list), simply by dragging and dropping them! This is in beta, if you have any queries, or problems, please leave them in the forum. The bookmarks will be linked to many new features soon.
I will in time try to integrate the forum membership with the lsblogs signups, and email all previous signups who consented to emails, to let them know about the forum, so expect it to grow quite useful in time!
So if you see a blog similar to yours, and the category looks right, then you can add it right there and then. Lets hope it reduces the amount of people who submit there personal blog into the blog search engine category or blog tool section>
It only takes a moment to find a suitable category, and most people can do it. At present I usually let them in, but manually move them to the right category, but submitting to the wrong category will reduce your chances of acceptance if I am busy!
LS Blogs has its first volunteer site checker, Jonathon, a member on the cre8asite forum has been asking to help out for a long time now, and I have finally got around to being in a position where I can accept the generous offer!
Lots of new categories have been added, and I have manually moved some blogs into many of them, this should make the directory more useful and easier to browse, and provide more choice for newly submitted blogs. If your blog is has been moved into a category you do not feel is suitable (for example, listed in the wrong religious category) then you can email me at support AT lsblogs.com with details, and if I agree I can move it somewhere else. Not all blogs have been moved, its a ongoing process, so please be patient.
I am in the process of weeding out as many dead / missing / fake blogs as possible, Its taking time, but I have managed to delete quite a lot of blogs that are no longer available, or have been changed into another type of site.
Currently in the process of updating all the screen shots, I can only manage so many per day, as it does take a lot of time, so please be patient. You may notice screenshots going missing for a short period of time, dont worry this is normal, as the screen shot needs to be deleted so the system will automatically fetch a updated one.
The category counts are now accurate, as they were getting slightly out of hand, I decided to write a routine to just count them up and correct them. So some categories may show a lower number, some higher!
I have temporarily removed the blog, as I didnt get around to updating it very often, and it was used mainly by spamming gambling sites to promote their dubious sites. For now I will continue to put site news here on this page.
I have had offers from people offering to help with the blog on lsblogs, and some offers for helping out with the rest of the site, I will be able to respond to those offers in more detail soon, so if anyone is still interested get back in touch in about a month or so, as I should have completed a lot of back end work that would be required for additional people to help out.
Added "view more from this category" on the newest blogs page. So if you see an interesting blog about SEO for example, you can click to see the category it is listed in and look for other blogs similar.
New! Now you can purchase HOSTING and Domains, and much more from LS Blogs.com We have many different hosting plans available at great prices, so if you need somewhere to host your blog, or just want a new domain name - or if you need both, then click here
Why put up with a standard generic address, when you could have your own domain, and your own webspace? Sign up now, and enjoy your own domain and webspace.
New improved search! Now you can also search the latest posts that we know about, so you can search for all the latest happenings and blog news that is going on. This search is still very much in beta, but we think you may like it!
LATEST POSTS NOW SHOWN!!! Thats right, people can now see just enough of a post to let them decide if they want to read more by visiting your blog.
Note - posts are only retrieved from sites that have a known feed. If a feed was not submitted when the site was listed, no posts are shown. We may improve on this in the near future.
Posts are retrieved by us automatically, and we update them at least once a day (new feature, as usual, feel free to report any problems on our blog)
If you did not add a site feed when you listed your blog, and would like to add one, just email us at addfeed@lsblogs.com (include the url to your blog, as listed on lsblogs, and the full url to your feed, also if you have registered with us, include your site number and login name)
This tool can be found in the [more details] page for any site.
Use this tool to
- See who has linked to you
- See who has blogged about you
- Check your alexa traffic rating (INFO AND FREE DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE HERE)
- See how you are doing on some major blog sites!
This tool is brand new, so give it a go, and let me know what you think by leaving a message in my blog. If you like it, please blog about it, and help to spread the word. If you want to try it on your own blog - then just submit your blog to lsblogs and when it is listed, you will be able to!
Google search has now been added on the search results page, so if you search for something, and its not in LS Blogs then you can just hit that google button and see what it brings up. After searching, to return to LS Blogs main site, just click our logo on the top of the google search results. Dont forget, if you search and find your blog is not listed, then why not list it! It is free ;)
Thumbnails have now been enabled on the search results pages, previously they were only avaiable in the directory listings, and on the newest addtions page.
The more details page has been improved, it now shows the thumbnail, within a monitor, useless, but I thought it looked nice :) Also, many, but not all sites will now show other related sites of interest.
