The Urban Blogger FAQ

I've signed Up, What do I do next? Next you should hook up your profile. You can upload pictures, add friends, create blog posts and import your feed.

How Do I Import My Blogs? Unfortunately, you can only import your feed through the rss feed creator on the sidebar. To create blog posts, copy the html of your blogs and paste it into the Create blog post area. Your post will automatically show up on the homepage for everyone to see. This is a great way to showcase your blog and gain new readers. Make sure you provide the trackback link at the bottom of your blog in case other bloggers want to link your story.

How Do I turn off email notifications?To choose which notifications you would like to recieve by email, click on the my settings tab and then click on EMAIL. You can choose what type of notifications to recieve if any there.

How Do I get featured in the blogger spotlight? The blogger spotlight features a different blogger each week. There are two ways to become the featured blogger. 1) Be selected by the Urban Blogger staff. 2)Place the urban blogger badge on your blog site and link the urban blogger in your site's blogroll. The staff of Urban Blogger will check technorati often to see what blogs have linked back and choose from those blogs first.
