#MyBlogGuest Twitter Chat

Today we are talking about our by far most favorite feature: The Articles Gallery and mainly about one of the most underestimated features of it: NOTES.
Best practices: Dear authors, please don’t ignore our mods’ private notes because they are meant to help you make the most of our tool!
NOTES are located in the right-most column of the gallery. Notes can be private (visible to the author and mods) and public (visible to all the users).

Do you know we are hanging our on Google Hangout monthly (each last Friday of the month)? We are currently discussing the best time of the day to suit everyone. *Please join the poll here*
Joining us on Google + Hangout is by far the BEST way to hear back from our team and ask your questions.
Last week’s hangout was not the easiest one for us: we couldn’t set up everything working correctly and ended up listening to our Editor-in-Chief, Phil Turner instead of watching him. But in any case it turned out to be awesome! Lots of great things shared!
Because it was about one hour long (here’s the full video), I spend my whole weekend reorganizing and picking the most useful questions and answers. I managed to cut it down to ~13 minutes. I recommend watching it very carefully:
To continue a good tradition of encouraging our authors and bloggers and to follow up our yesterday’s PUSH Twitter chat below is the list of guest articles published in the middle of the summer

This week we have one lovely almost random chat sharing our experiences. A great one for a change.
Don’t forget that we are hanging out on Google Plus tomorrow!
Now to the chat: we’ve been discussing accepting guest posts today!
There have been a lot discussions recently: is it really worth accepting guest posts when there are so many people who try to abuse guest blogging and simply don’t get it.
I say, not accepting *guest* posts only because there’s a lot of spam is the same as stop accepting blog comments because there more spam comments than valid ones. It’s the same as letting spam win!
Guest blogging is the powerful concept. Spam cannot ruin it if you really know how to make the most of your guest posts. Read more »

Right now we have four search options (always planning to merge them but the result turns out to be too complex with too many options).
So the four search options: BLOG search, USER search, FORUM search and TAG search
BLOG search helps you to find sites by:
Also, there two useful filters:
And it’s time to announce our easiest ever guest blogging contest!
I must say, this time we (and by “we” I mean the organizers, not the awesome participants) have failed miserably because there have been so many entries that it’s absolutely impossible to name one winner and one winning post.
So instead of rewarding one best guest post, we are rewarding several great guest post publishers. Read more »
One thing many people fail to forget: guest posting is by far one of the most powerful social networking and community building tools.
My Blog Guest is the perfect evidence to that: it’s been built through guest posting alone. Most of our users come through Word of Mouth and the very first was seeded using out guest posts.
Therefore hearing back from the blogger and getting your article published is only the beginning: to feel the real power of guest blogging you need to further build this relationship with each blog owner.
The most efficient and must-take step to building your community through guest blogging is getting involved after your guest post goes live. Read more »
