Personally, I like the Continuous Blog. It makes it a lot easier to refer back to what was said on that or previous days. Maybe if it is set as a monthly or a weekly blog, those of us who do not like change, willfind the change easier to swallow? I mean, it really isn't Hard, if your settings are set to see the newest first, the newest blog for that day comes up on top. If you are set up to get notifications you can read the latest post on the blog without having to actually sign into the site. Unless you want to! And in order to get the notifications all you have to do is post Once. From that point on you can post, just read, or delete. Whatever your flavor. And if you Don't like it, you can start a daily blog on your own.
But I'm sure Everyone knows this. It's not Hard at all. No memory needed.
I think it's Nice to see all the Good Mornings, Afternoons, Good Evenings and Good nights. Plus all the stuff that happens in between. Trophy winners, Health conscious members progress, Happy and sad feelings, and the regular old "Hello" are available for all to see in one spot and Everyone knows where it is. And all the other Topics areas are still there.
The members blog is just one Friendly, open and Continuous Hello! When did that become Bad?
As I said, in my opinion, the Every Day Blog is a good thing! Yeah! I Said it! Lol
What ever it's outcome, I'm still gonna be here, enjoying all the good info, and Good People of MCF!

I don't really care for the continuous blog. It appears to me that there is less participation on a daily basis. Not only that, but a lot of topics that (imo) would be separate threads are now being blended into the blog. Those topics then get lost in the blog so they are difficult to decipher and reply to. This has decreased new posts in other areas of the forum. So all in all I think it has decreased member participation on the forum instead of increasing it. I think MCF shot themselves in the foot on this one...

Hi `Mike,
Thanks for creating this thread for member's to voice/vote their preferences & comments.

Thanks also for your valid points on this subject.
"We don't know `if we don't try?" > We tried & I'm sure that the Powers will `go with the majority of what member's want/desire.

I voted with the majority , but sometimes, many times I lose
I do my best to adjust to change as long as it is not hurting anyone or anything.

IMPORANT QUESTION ?: How many Member's do we have to Start our Morning BLOG ?

Please post `if you can ? Thank You!

I like it just like the staff blog.
I noticed quite a few times on the old daily blog..
That no one started the daily blog til mid morning.
With this continuos blog that is now a "NON" issue...catching up from day and night or the previous day is so much more convenient.

One thing that I look for.....
Is who's up the earliest/first poster of the day!
Its also soooo much easier to keep up with someone's progress,health, or just the plane and simple good morning members..
That's my 2. cents!

Thanks `David for your thoughts/opinions/comments.

I don't think we can compare the Staff `Blog to the Member's blog because we only have a few staff member's posting in the Staff Blog & it's not difficult to keep `up with...

My only problem or concerns with the daily Blog is what you stated & that is having a member to start it & keep it up & running.

I am not in the position to start it everyday (work & life gets in the way) + I am on standby for my islands `Trip & won't be online

I hope it all works `out for the best to all our member's. `amen
