Coming In 2010
Already in 2010 we are putting together plans for our posting throughout the year. We have some pretty major plans for this year and a number of partnerships will hopefully be formed over the next one or two months.
Everything we have planned is to try and make LM-BLOG one of the best resources of information on the latest internet developments. With a look at trying all new Blog services and Advertising systems, where possible, we will hopefully provide a mass of help to everyone.
This year more than ever we are going to give our visitors a say in what we publish. From this point onwards you can ask us to review a website, give advice on technology or advertising. Or really anything you want. Where possible we will publish all requests.

Ad-Space For Sale on LM-BLOG
Its official I have finally made ad-space on LM-TIPS available to the public. I have been considering this for a long time as LM-NLOG has grown and my user audience has become larger and larger.
I will only sell one area at the current point (the top right corner of the page) until I find out if users are likely to want to buy more space or if demand overall is high.
This adspace is for ads up to 728 pixels by 90 pixels and can only be used for image based ads. We will host he imageon our site server so that we can accurately find out ad performance.
The ad will appear on all pages and posts so that you gain maximum coverage.
Weekly and Monthly packages will be sold with discounts being applied for longer amounts of time (2+ months)
Read MoreScotbux Turnaround and Forum Fixed
Scotbux.co.uk the Scottish PTC site has just re-oppened its forum after a huge bug brought it down. I have been speaking to the new owners and they assure me that Scotbux is about to go through a huge turn around.
Read their official release on the forum issues bellow.
Read MoreOkay as you may have noticed the forum has been down for around about one week. We were recently doing our monthly forum backup (we should go more regularly we now know) when we noticed around 150 entries in the mod panel which we were not seeing on the site.
We then had our team look into what was wrong only to find that we had quite a major bug on our hands. The forum was taken offline for the bug to be fixed. A single post was forced through before any scripting changes were made. Just incase this would be the quickest fix.
