    Hi everbody,

    Just to inform you that we'll be shutting off one of our fileservers within the next hour. That means that some of your uploaded media won't be shown but that's just temporary for about 20-30 minutes.

    Bored with your blog? Pimp it with some cool badges here!
    These are some of the favourites with the blog team here in HQ:
     


    There are also lots of fun quizzes and add-ons to post on your blog, including a geek quiz (which some of us were afraid to take for fear of making it explode) and a countdown timer to count down to any special event in your (or your blog's) life.

    Leave us a comment if you know of any other interesting blog add-ons.

    Dear bloggers,

    Due to performance issues, we have had to limit the number of tags that appear on your blog to fifty. However we feel that fifty tags isn't enough, so over the next few days this number will be increased to one hundred.

    So, at the moment, your fifty most common tags are displayed. This does not mean that your other tags have been deleted, they just do not appear on the blog.

    In the future, we plan to have a 'Show all tags' button so that all your tags will be easily accessible. We also expect to be able to increase the number of automatically shown tags to two hundred, but no more than that since very few users have more than two hundred tags.

    Thanks,

    Your BCUK team.

  • Tips for secure passwords

    Dear BCUK bloggers,

    We would like to remind you to take good care of your passwords, and to help you do so, here are a few tips.

    To register here on BCUK, you must choose a password that consists of at least six characters. Still, you must think carefully about what characters to choose.
    For example, if your username is Teapot, you definitely shouldn't choose Teapot or even Teapot1 as your password.

    In general, try to avoid:
    -Names (family members, friends, pets, etc)
    -Birthdays, phone numbers, car number plates
    -Common abbreviations
    -Consecutive characters on a keyboard, eg asdfgh or 123456

    It's also a good idea to mix upper and lower case, as well as numbers. In general, the more characters you have, the better and more secure the password is. Also try not to use the same password for all of your internet log-ins.

    We strongly urge all users to be very careful about divulging their passwords, and to be aware that important data such as passwords should not be sent via email.

    Thank you, and happy (and secure) blogging!
