Greetings!
I have now added a log-in link for MoreBlogsOfRoleplay.com under the original link to log in to this domain. I can see where this might get a tad confusing for a bit so I'll make every effort to help out and keep the confuzzlement to a minimum.
Webmail access links have been moved to the BoRCom Information section to the right for both domains, Eidolons will be added when the MT is installed there.
As of this posting:
**All new blog requests are being created on MoreBlogsOfRoleplay.com with MT 3.15.**
I've had a few requests from people who want to move to MoreBlogs, I will have MT installed in EnchantedEidolons.com no later than Friday, April 15th so if it's that domain you want to be on, hold off until the announcement that it's in.
If you currently have a blog on this domain done in MT 2.661 and you want to move to MoreBlogs and 3.15, I need the following from you in an email:
*Blog Name, Author Name as it appears now
*New Blog Name, New Author Name if you desire to change either
*If you desire a different directory name than what it is now, I need that too.
I will then create the new blog and let you know when it is done. I am here for anyone who needs assistance with file transfers or anything of the sort.
When you are satisfied with the look and content of the MoreBlogs blog, I once again ask you let me know the following:
*That you are done so I may change the blogroll and the graphic from the Alphabetical List of Blogs pages.
*whether you want to keep or delete the original 2.661 blog.
You do not have to delete the original blog. Some people want to start anew on MoreBlogs but don't want to move everything over and that's fine. You can keep both. All I ask is that you take a few moments to 'close' all the entries on the old blog so the spam doesn't pile up.
Once the installation on Eidolons is complete by Friday, the new "Get Your Own Blog" page will go up. This page gives options for MT versions and domains and can be used for upgrades as well as new blogs.
I haven't come up with any templates for MT 3.15 yet, once I do I'll make a new section of the Template Gallery. For now, I have added some links in the General Links section to the right that have some templates and the Movalog link explains the differences in the definitions used in the two versions, I would definitely recommend looking at that.
The new index pages for this domain and MoreBlogs should be out within the week and should go a long way towards making things more uniform and easy to navigate.
That's it for now, we move into a new stage with BoRCom and the Elf Crew and I are thrilled to be going there.
Blog on!

Greetings-
My apologies to anyone who cares for the lack of a presence since my last posting. I'll spare you all the drama but I've gotten over the hurt feelings and life at BoRCom moves on.
I have much to cover here so I'll get right to it.
**Since no one seems to want free publicity by sending me the URL to their website, an Elf Crew member suggested we just stick a random site up there each month and let people check it out or not. The April site of the month has nothing to do with BoRCom but it's one we became an avid reader of while the fight for Terri was going on. We won't take a side here, merely offer it up as an interesting read.
**The BoRCom April Blog of the Month is a first. Not only is he a two-time winner because of his superior design ability, he was the first BoRCom blogger to switch to the new domain and new version of MT. Congratulations to Deceit of the Amaranth once again, this blog is definitely worth checking out!
**The following blogs have been removed from the system for three months of inactivity starting from blog creation date:
All Things Have a Shadow - Authored by Melkor
Bonheur - Authored by Luciana
Captain Lysander's Log - Authored by Lysander Tirol
Charitey - Authored by Reya W.
Escapane - Authored by Jordan Sumthin
NohFace - A Shadowrunner's Journal - Authored by NohFace
Vivendooamor - Authored by Maria
Wyvern's Keep - Authored by Obsydian
**Movable Type 3.15 is here! Once we get to know how it works a little better, the "Get Your Own Blog" page will reflect the choice of MT versions and domains.
Until we're ready to bring the new version public, we are offering current BoRCom bloggers the chance to switch domains. You do not have to move your blog, BlogsOfRoleplay.com will remain with the version it has, I have had too many requests not to change it.
For the moment, only MoreBlogsOfRoleplay.com has MT 3.15, I will install it on EnchantedEidolons.com this week so if you're looking to park your blog there, give it a few days.
MT 3.15's templates do not work with MT 2.6. This is why we are keeping the one domain as it is and we strongly urge you to look over the changes before requesting it be done. The Elf Crew and I can offer limited help, as you can see if you checked the MoreBlogs domain, I'm still getting to know the new tags myself.
Should you want to move right now to MoreBlogs, what I need you to do is send me an email with the following information:
Blog Directory name (moreblogsofroleplay.com/YOU/)
Blog Name
Author Name
Password
It can be exactly the same as your information is now or you can change whatever you want. Once I have received a request you'll get email back with anything you need to know about what to do next.
It's a bit of a clunky system for the moment but it's a choice I've wanted to offer for a while now and since there are some people ready, why wait.
I'm going to end this for now, I've probably confused some of you and to be honest, I'm confusing myself. Keep the faith, we're going good places here.
Blog on!
