So, I’ve made a few site improvements today and wanted to share them with everyone.

1. First and foremost there is a mailing list you can now subscribe to. On the right hand side you will see an area to enter your email address. This mailing list will be used to send reminders of meet ups. You can request to be removed from the list at any time and of course we won’t share your email address with any third-parties, so no worries there.

2. There is now an option to be notified of comments for an entry. If there is a discussion going on in the comments that you are interested in following, simply check the “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” option.

3. For every individual post there is an option to bookmark the post via Digg, Delicious, Stumble Upon and so forth. This is an easy way for you to bookmark the entries, but also to spread the word about any entries that may be of interest to others. That whole social thing.

4. Recent comments are now being pulled in in the right column. This is mostly to help us keep conversations going on interesting topics.

A few other minor edits have been made here and there. If you have any suggestions for features for the site, let me know!

Wishing you all a very happy holiday with your family and friends, and a fantastic new year. I’m looking forward to many more meetups in 2008 and getting to know everyone even more.  Happy Holidays all!

So, the photobloggers.org network are chatting about how we can improve the various photoblogger city sites and make it a better community and experience for photobloggers. I’d love to get your thoughts on what you’d like to see us do here on London Photobloggers. Do other city sites offer something that we don’t and you’d like to see? Is there something new that we’ve never done that we really should? How can we improve the site so it’s more useful to you and a better, stronger community?

The Budapest photobloggers have a forum setup which is doing extremely well. How would folks feel about having a forum added to the site?

Be honest. What works and what doesn’t? What should we be doing? Feel free to post comments or email me directly.

Well, as you can see, we have a new site. Please be sure to update your feed readers with our new RSS feed. As you’ll see we don’t have all our archives, so we are sort of starting afresh, but we’ll have more here soon. We have a great team of contributors (bios still to come) who will be sharing their thoughts on various topics on a regular basis.

A huge thanks to Ed of Remez.com for kindly hosting the new LPB site.

Let us know your thoughts on the new site.
