(PRWEB) May 22, 2004 -- After almost a year in public preview mode, ModBlog has entered the final preview phase! ModBlog's development team has been working non-stop to ensure ModBlog ( http://www.modblog.com/ ) is feature complete and problem-free when version 1 final is unveiled within the next month. This final public preview phase will see the last round of feature implementations and resolution of all remaining issues for its first official release.

We are also pleased to announce that we have partnered with Lockergnome to provide ModBlog members a chance to have their writing published! As you may know, Lockergnome is an extremely popular tech-oriented newsletter and website. Through our partnership, we will be selecting several blog entries a week on ModBlog to have published in the Lockergnome newsletter. This will result in a vast traffic increase for ModBlog members that get published, as well as exposing their writings to a very large reader base!

ModBlog is a free and extremely unique blog hosting service. Instead of simply providing a journal system, ModBlog offers a wide range of features that create your own instant community. These features include your own forum, web-based chat, poll, bulletin, image gallery, private messaging system, and friends networking. No matter what your skill level, you'll be able to fully customize your ModBlog. From gorgeous pre-made templates to the ability to use your own images and colors to complete XML enhanced HTML control, ModBlog's wide range customization tools are unparalleled. You can further customize your ModBlog by loading optional features, changing the position of any part of your ModBlog, and setting a vast array of preferences. The tools to manage the content on your ModBlog are equally as powerful. Through web-based utilities or remote-updating applications, you can quickly make simple or fully HTML enabled dynamic blog entries. You are fully in command of your ModBlog by having controls to remove visitor created content, allowing or blocking specific members, among many other controls. The visitor side of your ModBlog equally as powerful, as they can comment and receive web-based or e-mail alerts on a variety of content, post on your forum, subscribe to your RSS feed, and add you to their friends list. Every area of ModBlog is truly powerful, and gets better all the time!

There is really no limit to what you can do with your ModBlog. ModBlog has been used for everything from a meeting point for groups to a full news site to a professional photographer's gallery. What really sets ModBlog apart is its very strong and friendly community. Using our community hub, My.ModBlog ( http://my.modblog.com/ ), all members can easily see new blog entries that are made, meet and help other members using our community forums, find others through our directory, view the newest and most popular ModBlogs, or just have a friendly conversation in the web-based chat area.

While all of that is entirely free, we do offer a variety of premium services for ModBlog, such as domain pointing, image hosting, and ad removal, but the free version is fully functional. Aside from one small banner ad, there are absolutely no strings attached. We will never do anything evil like send you junk mail or sell your information. ModBlog is truly blogging redefined. You really must signup for a free account to fully understand just how unique and amazing of a service it is! We look forward to having you part of the ModBlog community!
