Most search queries come from Greece, leaving UK second.  Just to note that fmlblogs.eu and fmgreece.gr are obviously supported by the Greek Football Manager Community.

“Is it only a coincidence?”

“I don’t think so…”,  as a famous commercial quotes these days here in Greece

Maybe SI and SEGA should enforce and strengthen the community that is built around their games that we all love

We have upgraded buddypress to the latest version! There were also 6-7 plugins that had newer versions and we also upgraded them too!

But the major task carried out, was that we spotted and deleted lots of spam user registrations and blogs! We also implemented a new anti spam registration tool, so let’s hope that we see fewer of these bastards now!

We just upgraded 5 of our plugins, among which the “sensitive” qTranslate plugin that allows you to have multilanguage blogs. If you notice any issues, please mention them to us!

Happy blogging

Now with the server move, we had the chance to do some administrative tasks also. So we upgraded the software from version 2.9.1 to 2.9.2 and also upgraded some of the plugins that you all use!

Have fun!

Due to the success of our service, we really needed to move to a new server machine! That is why we had to take the website down for some time on Saturday evening. If you can see this post, then your DNS servers are updated and you can access our brand new home! Please report any issues that may come up (although not very probable) in our email which you can find in our contact page!

Sorry for any inconvenience and happy FMLblogging!

Today we added some new quality themes that you can use in your blogs! These themes are clear, web2 and highly customizable (e.g. you can change your logo with an option in most of them)

You can find them in the Appearance menu of your blogs.

The themes are:

Argentpress
BrightSky
Liberation
lapofluxury
iEducation
Tribune
Aparatus

We did a major update today, by updating 10 of our plugins for which newer versions have come out! This update provides bug fixes and minor new features. The plugins that where upgraded are:

Buddypress
Buddypress Profile Widget for Blogs
Easy AdSense
Easy Retweet
GD Star Rating

The next update of our services, will include new templates for your blogs! Stay tuned!

Lot’s of spam users and blogs lately, so we are trying to reduce them. We changed the reCaptcha plugin to the … “SI Captcha for WordPress“, that looks more configurable. I have selected the hardest level, so probably you will find the audio speaker usefull!

Fight SPAM!
