***Update #2***

I’m pretty sure the Forums are working correctly now. Give it a try. If you’re still having issues, leave a comment and we’ll get to the bottom of it.

***Update***

You asked, we listened! There is now a GoogleFriendConnect/Followers Widget in the sidebar on the right side of the page. You have to rejoin the site as we couldn’t import everyone over from Blogger. Also we are working out some glitches with the forum. We should have it figured out soon. Will keep you updated!

It’s moving day and we’re settling into our new home at http://bglhonline.com! We will continue to update http://blackgirllonghair.blogspot.com for another week or so, while also updating the new site. So make yourselves comfortable A lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone into the site design and functionality and we hope you enjoy our new digs!

Here’s a quick recap of two of the most exciting new features you’ll find on bglhonline.com:

~ BGLH Forums
BGLH will now have it’s own Forum so you can talk about hair (or not, if you like :))
http://bglhonline.com/forum/

~ BGLH Store
Starting off, we will have 2 tee shirt selections on sale, designed by me (Shari), but will soon expand to include more items.

If you have any comments, questions, inquiries or concerns about bglhonline.com, please drop us a line at blackgirllonghair@gmail.com or visit our contact page and use our convenient form: http://bglhonline.com/contact/. We’d love to hear from you!

looks good ladies! lookin forward to this next phase :o)
i really like the features on the side because I just recommended this site to some ladies and i mentioned how they would be able to look up any archived topic.

the t-shirts are cute too

i am curious, what does it mean to ‘subscribe in a reader’? i see the option in the top/right hand of the screen. are we not able to subscribe to individual post we comment on?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the knew site. the graphics are beautiful! I almost didn’t read the blog when i first came across it just because it wasn’t esthetically pleasing but the content was so good that it drew me in anyway. I’m so excited!

@ Everyone. Thanks for all the love!!!!!
We are still getting settled into our new space. It feels kind of weird, cuz we were at blogspot for so long. But it’s a good weird.
We’re just trying to help everyone get comfy so the awesome discussions can continue!

  Hi, Kadiane
  
  Do you have a link of the exact post you’re talking about? I’ll try to get it fixed ASAP.

Hey shari,

I followed your instructions to register under the META link on the right hand side of the screen. After I get the confirmation email it sends me to the forum page. I clicked on the link for Comments RSS. Then on that page is an option to subscribe to Comments for bglhonline.com. Does that mean I’ll get emails every time someone leaves a comment? Or only when I leave a comment on a certain post, similar to the way it was at ‘our old home’?

Sorry so slow!

  Hey mysskay,
  
  I believe it works the same way it did on the old site. Let me know if it doesn’t and I’ll remedy that!
