MEDIA ADVISORY, (christiansunite.com) -- Recently HomeschoolBlogger.com (HSB)--the world's largest and free homeschool blog site--got a clean, fresh, look with exciting new features, by implementing an important software upgrade.According to The Old Schoolhouse Magazine® publisher/owner Gena Suarez, "The plan behind the change is to link great blogging with the ever-expanding homeschool community to usher back in the 'blogging craze' that hit when HomeschoolBlogger was launched in 2005. It was a lot of work, we pushed forward, and now we're doing it. This is a major upgrade, using the popular WordPress platform and will mean a whole new way of blogging life for our members at HomeschoolBlogger.com."
During August ALONE, HomeschoolBlogger.com received thirteen million page views! One of the draws to HSB is the ease in discovering new blogs and connecting with those of similar homeschool and family interests. This online community has a safety-net feel unlike other blog sites, where using a random blog button could reveal undesirable content.
HomeschoolBlogger's Senior Editor, Kristen Hamilton, oversees the site. She and other authors contribute homeschool-related posts. She assists members and keeps an eye on new blogs to identify inappropriate content.
Kristen states: "HomeschoolBlogger is comprised of a large group of bloggers who make HSB their home base. This is the largest upgrade in our five-year history and makes the community even stronger with its exciting new features."
