Sorry for no response. I thought I'd been idling in here to get responses but apparently I haven't.

@Szabolcs This should be enabled by now, I'll have someone look into it.

I guess, actually, that is of interest to everyone here, so:

Q: The community bulletin is not good enough for promoting community blog posts

On Cooking.Stackexchange, we started a blog around the time the Community bulletin was introduced. We would like to get more readers (and writers) from inside our community.

hi @KronoS (:

Hi @RebeccaChernoff, quick question. Great news on the new blog security, however can you tell me how to log in to dba.blogoverflow.com? There is nothing obvious on the front page and wp-admin still represents antique wordpress login. Thanks!

Rebecca Chernoff

oops looks like I missed a couple, sec

@AaronBertrand try again

(hitting /wp-admin is correct)

Aaron Bertrand

@RebeccaChernoff awesome, thanks!

@RebeccaChernoff now a second question, will I get notification of comments now, which I didn't get before? And 2a. what about viewing stats? :-)

Q: Stack Exchange Blogs Authentication, now with 80% less suck!

@JonEricson did you hit /wp-login.php or /wp-admin?

Rebecca Chernoff

Jon Ericson

@RebeccaChernoff Got it. (I can never remember the magic URL for WP, so it's stored in the browser history.)

Can anyone with a SE account get an account on blogoverflow now?

KronoS

@rebeccachernoff. Oooo! That looks nifty. Congrats on a job well done!

> Note: This is currently enabled for all Stack Exchange blogs except for Server Fault, Super User, and Stack Overflow (the first two are using a separate theme that will need to be converted first, and the latter is not part of Blog Overflow).

@JonEricson as a subscriber, yes...which only gives you permission to comment...which you can do anyway

KronoS

@rebeccachernoff when will blog.su gain this support?

Rebecca Chernoff

@KronoS when I decide to modify the zimpleza theme or Jin ports y'all over to the blogoverflow theme

whoever folds first q:
