This blog has one major purpose, to help you to find more success in your blogging. As you now know, Blogging Zoom has been created to help bloggers everywhere to compete with the mainstream media and other large sites to gain the audience they deserve.
In order to best help you to get the traffic you deserve, we have made some major plans for this blog including:
- Most importantly - lessons on how to pull the most traffic possible from Blogging Zoom itself. In order to make this service work for everyone, we want to disclose as much information about BZ as we can.
- Topics to help you better your blog: SEO, SMO, copywriting, WordPress, PPC, relationship blogging, reputation management, etc.
- Interviews and guest appearances from bloggers who have reached the highest levels of blogging.
I would invite you to let me know as you have questions and concerns and look forward to pushing traffic to each of you. 
Hi Court, you had a great idea with this site.
I wanted to make some friends, and I cannot access people’s profiles, so I can befriend them. I suppose it’s a bug, because I found one profile link which worked.
I also think it would be cool to have a list of members (like in Sphinn), what do you think?
Thnaks and good luck!
Hi Simonne! When you click the person’s name, look closely because a little link will pop up that says, “view profile”. You should be able to see them that way!
Hi Court thanks for dreaming up a new traffic gathering widget. I tried a test page on my WP2 blog and entered the code in the code section, but it just showed up the same in the visual tab and did not appear when I viewed the test post. What did I do wrong?
Thanks for your help
Great start for this social news site. Congrats for coming up with this idea. Looking forward to some of your new plans to be incorporated into BZ.
Hi Markk,
We are working hard to get the platform stable and all the mods made to work perfect.
This month is all about building traffic to you guys next month we will start incorporating features.
I am having problems submitting articles. Every time I get to the third step of the submission process it say “incomplete title or text”. What am I doing wrong. I am filling in all of the blanks.
How do I add a zoom widget to my blogspot blog? SY
Hospitalera this should work please give me feedback.

Hiya Court, thanks for all you do. I only wish I have more time to keep up with your suggestions! I need some help re bloggingzoom.
First, I don’t understand what code I’m supposed to put into my post remove the spaces,” then what, nothing shows up.
Secondly, I found your post about why you designed this service not only inspiring, but right on! About time power to the bloggers and not big companies who penalize legit sites just cos they have links! nofollow or not, or some weird formula that penalizes the good folks too often. But I can’t find your reason for bloggingzoom post again!!!
That post is far more important than a graph, which I ‘m not posting, sorry, but math is gonna scare off my fans. BUT the warmth, thoughtfulness, HUMANITY of that post is something to promote!
Where is it? I have a terrific memory and able to find things all the time.
I don’t want to use ’social bookmarking reloaded.’ It has too many little icons showing up repeatedly on my home page. I had to remove it and add ‘Share This’ from Alex King.
How can I add the bloggingzoom icon and link to Shat This plug-in?
I don’t know how to post my photo, or is that link from mybloglog, which I’m signed with. I don’t want to be a blg gray male photo. Where do I upload or link to it or what?
Lastly, I wish you had a section for art/photos, although because my photos are of rock musicians, it makes sense to put it into music. But I often make art from my pix.
Thanks!
Silly me, the closed or <open
First, I don’t understand what code I’m supposed to put into my post “!–bloggingzoom–” remove the spaces,” then what, nothing shows up.
Typo:
How can I add the bloggingzoom icon and link to Share This plug-in?
thanks!
Sometime tomorrow I will add BZ to share and make it public
Looks nice but I have one snag…I have a image blog and writing a 350 word description or except is kinda hard.
Hi Court, how do I know if my submission has been accepted? Where to find it? Thanks.
I hope to be able to visit here more often. I am just finding my way around but have heard that this is a great place to be for a blogging community. I have not added the widget to my blog yet but intent to.
When I want to “Zoom” someone’s post do I just click on the icon? How long before the number changes? Does just adding a comment act the same as a “Zoom”?
Total Newbie here.

Hi I am sorry we missed this comment we just notice our notification is not working. Once you Zoom it should take less then a second and the number should change. Commenting and Zooming is not the same the number will not change with the comment but will help the submission overall by giving it more SEO juice.
There are tons of bugs in BZ. I discover more and more every time I try to do something. A few days ago the Top Posts list started getting smaller and smaller. Today it is gone altogether. I can’t see the least popular, most popular etc in several categories, I get the oops page. Contact form still doesn’t work so commenting here seems to be the only way to inform of bugs. Can’t access my message inbox once I read a new email and other problems I mentioned in another comment. Isn’t seeing top posts etc one of the goals of social sites like this and if you can’t view them, what’s the point? Some of these problems are months old. It’s frustrating.
Why 350 characters? I can describe my articles in considerably less. Why promote needless verbosity? Seems to me the description should be as long as it needs to be.
It seems as tho’ BZ has been pretty much abandoned by the owners. All the bugs are still there and not fixed from my April comment and I had actually reported them well before that. Also there was going to be a character counter for the description and that never happened.
