This magazine is already starting off with some exposure - not much, but it will grow. Remember, the first part of getting exposure to a website is the hardest, and although that has barely started yet this is off to a decent start. :)

Review Blog Premiere for a chance to win a review on my flagship blog, TheUniversityKid.com

Alright, so this was paid. However, it contained some decent ideas on the website and gained exposure (100+ RSS subscribers) - for me, that’s a bargain for ten dollars. I also got a picture for marketing purposes :D

The title speaks for itself :) . Bill Murray does it best. Chris did a through, humourous roundup of Blog Premiere and it’s goals, and one hopes his predictions come true.

Christine spoke about Blog Premiere’s Show Time, which will be coming along soon enough - the only problem that I had with that post is that it caused my head to swell up just a little bit. :razz:

Those three are the first batch - I will be covering them on TUK as well, but thought they should also go here, since it is here that they are reviewing. This (Blog Premiere Buzz In The Blogosphere) will become a weekly/monthly happening, depending on how often you guys review this blog magazine. :)

Make sure you join our forum if you haven’t already!

Sorry for the thousandth post on this topic in the blogosphere, however as this is a blogging magazine it has to be covered when the ultimate blogging platform does a complete revamp :)

First off - the actual upgrade. I didn’t do it myself, as I’m always scared of breaking things - anyways, a friend did for me, but from what I’ve heard it’s fairly simply. All you have to do is backup the database, upload a couple files, run a couple things and you’re (apparently) done. If something goes wrong, hit the forums for support as I cannot help :)

As for the interface… well, I’ll be honest with you - I preferred the old one, but I’ll probably get used to this one in time. It is far less cluttered up than the previous version, and the look is more “Web 2.0ish”, however a couple things are missing that the previous version had - the ability to go direct to websites of commenters from the dashboard, as well as the comment count. However, these are miniscule - improvements include a cleaner layout as well as a one-click upgrade for out of date plugins.

Would I have upgraded?

I thought not after doing so, however I’m growing to like this - the post in which you type posts is a lot better looking that the last one, and it’s now easier to publish.

To be honest, I was forced into the upgrade - Adii released an updated version of this theme which fixed a few bugs, and the thing was that the theme update only worked with Wordpress 2.5 - damn! Anyways, I’ve upgraded, and I recommend the theme to anyone, as they’ve made it even easier to use - there is an auto image resizer and more options in the killer backend, which means a technical newbie like me doesn’t have problems working it. If I can do it, so can you. Get the theme here.

I have also gotten a forum added to the website, which you can access here - it is new, but will be thriving soon enough, and if you get in quickly you can start building links and discussion. Thanks for helping me out :)
