Autoholics is off to a great start! Since the launch three weeks ago we've published over 200 blogs by 46 bloggers. And over 400 CarDomain members have left comments! So keep the blogs and comments coming! We'd also love to hear your feedback on the site, as we're already planning phase 2 dev work for early next year.

Anyway, I haven't taken a vacation in a while and I'm off next week. Jen will be running the show, so keep the awesome blogs coming, but don't freak out if they don't get published right away!

I like everything, but there's a problem or two. First sometimes the pictures load WAY big and I can only see a quarter of the picture and second for some reason the site takes ages to load. And no is not me because all the other websites I use load fine and normal.

I've had that same problem "nes" is talking about with once in awhile the pic of a blog showing up bigger so it only shows part of it. I figure it's just not reducing the pic size because I noticed there's no real size limit and the pic just gets reduced automatically, but it hasn't happened lately, only the first week. Also it wouldn't be do that after i clicked to comment and to read more, only on the main page with all of the blogs, would be fine on the specific blog page.The other problem he said about loading slow I haven't had a problem with.

Ya I think the same thing "gold94corolla", it would just be easier to go here if there was an "Autoholics" tab where the old "Blog" tab was, that way you only do 1 click on the main page instead of having to click on 3 things. Maybe it's not that big of a deal but I guess it's from being so used to going to the Blog straight from the homepage with the old one.

Thanks for the feedback guys, we really appreciate it. 94goldcorolla, I want the homepage tab back too. They took away our blog tab and there isn't any plan to replace it with one for Autoholics, but if a majority of people feel that's the easiest way to navigate to the site, we'll push for it. Sorry, Nes, about the pictures loading slow and/or weird. We're still getting our uploader dialed in, and if it's chunking large images improperly and we can't get the auto-resize to function consistently we might go back to having bloggers resize them before uploading. And Ted, we're sorry to be contributing to your alcohol intake. Try not to get too crazy this holiday season.

yeah this place works great. Something that I miss is the ability to use hard returns to space out thoughts.... instead of it all being one long runon lol. But we definitely need an easier, more direct way to get here. I come from searching through and looking at ride pages, so the tab at the top was perfect.

Yeah Gold94corolla hit on the one thing. I like to use separate sentences and the run-on string of sentences is annoying, but that's my only complaint and not much of one at that.

it's quite annoying. And when they fix it here, can they PLEASE fix it in the regular cardomain guestbook. We used to be able to post more than one line both there and in the blog.
