important changes to the RBF directory!
Changes
On January 30th we completed an overhaul of the directory (among other things, it is now database driven for easier maintenance). Unfortunately, this meant we had to change the directory’s URL. If you use the old URL, you will be redirected to the new one but we’d still appreciate if you’d update your link. If you don’t currently have a link to the directory, we’d really love it if you’d add one. In either case, linking to the new RBF directory helps us keep or improve our search engine ranking so other running bloggers can find the page.
A Cool New Feature!
Along with the changes we’ve made, I’m particularly excited about one new feature. The RBF directory can now tell you which blogs have recently posted and even what time they posted! Look for blogs with asterisks around their links. Asterisks mean a blog has posted within the last 24 hours. Mouse over blog links with asterisks and you’ll see a date and time for the blogger’s last post. Note: For this to work with YOUR blog, you must ensure it is ?pinging? weblogs.com or another blog feed service that pings weblogs.com.
Thanks for your help everyone! Speaking of help, there is one way you can help us even more – spread the word by putting a post on your blog with the new RBF directory link!
Here is the link to the new Running Blog Family Directory.
