G-Blogs 2.0 Still In Beta
G-Blogs is where I started blogging in 2004, it was a moblog or mobile blog. Due to many glitch of the old g-blogs system, there are rampant hacking of blogs just to prove their worth. Was it worth it? That’s a long story but without g-blogs, I maybe not here blogging. I still love g-blogs even if I did got tired of the old system. If not, I will not be blogging about it now.
Just a short recap of the old system. Old g-blogs can be access to any built in browsers before, it was possible to moblog using third party browser such as Opera, Opera Mini, Netfront etc. Legitimate bloggers can download images, audios, videos from other moblogs for Php 5 per file. I did forgot the rates already. To some, they can upload and download other files such as mobile applications, virus, ebooks and other unsupported files for FREE.
Those were the happy days until the Globe Telecoms numerously changed the system from time to time and our moblogs are always unavailable. Good thing that they decided to use wordpress to their recently launched g-blogs.
What’s with g-blogs 2.0?
G-Blogs 2.0 is built to give you a refreshing experience in personal blogging. Powered by the powerful open blogging platform, WordPress MU, G-Blogs 2.0 is equipped with new and exciting features that enhance the way your life’s moments with your friends online.
This is a giant step forward on blogging considering that I, myself experienced blogging at g-Blogs before. Indeed a wise decision but the normal mobloggers are waiting to access the site using their built-in browsers just like the old g-blog days. Globe Telecoms temporarily disabled G-Blogs’ SMS/MMS and WAP blogging service, as they prepare for the enhancements which they will be launching soon.
G-Blogs 2.0 is still in BETA – fresh out of the clinic after a thorough beauty makeover. This means you may still see a few bumps, scars, unwanted moles or hairs – things you would want us to tweak a bit, or probably even get rid of, here and there. If ever you do encounter any, do send us a note at gtg-blogs@globetel.com.ph and we’ll gladly tidy them up for you.
After recovering my old g-blog, I access the page for my old entries retrieval. They said wait for 24 hours to export my blog blog to new blog. That was 4 days ago and still nothing happened. Since I already knew wordpress, I hope they add more widgets (and plugin if possible), add page feature and more template choices. As of now, there are only two available template.
G-Blogs is built on WordPress MU. Should you need an extra know-how on advanced coding and features, feel free to visit their FAQ section.Technically, no need to hack for free download anymore just like the old days… The site can be access using Opera using Inet connection on mobile.
