We’ve been busy the last few weeks working on some new features! Here’s a look at what’s new.

New Blogs 2.0

Friendster Blogs have been upgraded to a new platform. The new blogs are easier to use, customize, and edit!

We’re in the process of migrating all of the old blogs over. If you have a Friendster blog and you’re not already moved over, you can speed things up by clicking on this link.

Some things you should know about your new blog:

  • It is possible that your blog layout or colors may not appear exactly as they were on your old blog, you can edit or add new customizations to your blog by clicking the “Designs” tab or “Themes” button when you access your blog from your home page
  • All of the photos you’ve uploaded to your old blog will be moved to your new blog. When they are moved, they will be in your Blogs Media Library (Manage Tab–> Media Library). Don’t worry, we’ll move all your photos for you!
  • If you experience any inconsistencies with your blog during the next few weeks, please bear with us and please do let us know what you find so we can build a better product!

If you don’t yet have a Friendster Blog, just go to My Profile > Blogs on the site to create one.

New Forums 2.0

Join the discussions today in the NEW Friendster Forums! We’ve just re-launched forums, and they’re now available globally. Participate with others and discuss entertainment, lifestyle, dating, parenting, music, movies, TV, relationships and more. We’ve made it easy to rate topics and find those that are the highest rated— just look for the red stars!

We’d like to hear your thoughts about the all-new Forums. We’re currently collecting feedback from users and fixing bugs. We’ve also already started working on the next version of forums based on user feedback!
