User blogs
Did you know that becoming a member of AirSpace automatically entitles you to start your own blog?
Part of the package of an AirSpace membership (as well as having your own photo gallery, forum membership and profile space) is getting your own blogging platform for you to do whatever wish, and that includes customising the look and feel.
One of our AirSpace members, John Dyer, showcases this with his new blog European Airliner Scene.
John's combined a custom header graphic together with an "out-of-the-box" blog template to make his blog look professional and stylish. He now regularly logs European airliner movements on AirSpace.
Blog functionality
A lot of the blog functionality comes as standard with an AirSpace blog and is the usual blog fare - tags, categories, comments, ratings, extended posts, quotes, wysiwyg text editors, etc ... .
The generating an audience bit is down to you. Write some good stuff, link to other cool web content, cover a unique angle, or get into the micro detail of a subject.
There are numerous ways to do it, but what I can say is that if your blog is working and you're doing a solid job then we'll notice and give you a helping hand by featuring it on the home page of Flightglobal (which gets up to 80,000 views everyday) and the Blogs Channel of the site (which is soon to undergo some redesign).
If you're interested in starting your own blog on AirSpace, customizing it, and getting advice on blogging best practice then contact Maverick on AirSpace who'll be happy to help you out.
