Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.

Some people have noticed that Amatomu is down and has been for a few days. This is true, Vincent twittered this fact and asked that we all be patient. As a dedicated Amatomu user I must admit I am having withdrawal symptoms.

The simple, short and sweet reason for this is that we have relocated Amatomu to Afrihost as our host of choice. Gian was quick to jump at the chance to host the site and saw it as a challenge. He’s probably right. His team have been helpful with the move but it has taken slightly longer than expected.

Some sites may be experiencing slow loading of their templates. Removing the tracking code might or might not be a quick fix for the problem but issues from our side will be resolved soon and then you’ll simply have to place the code back in to your template.

With the recent announcement of Afrigator’s changes, updates, movements and developments it seems that Amatomu has upped their game and their focus on stats.

Have a look at the new graph from Amatomu stats page:

I though this was great. I doubt many will agree. But I think that somehow the world of text has begun talking amongst itself and placing itself in relevant positions for the reader.

Hmmm…interesting:

It seems as though Amatomu has changed their stats counter/graph somewhat. Strange that no one else has picked this up:

Note that there is no BLUE line as there has been in the past. That blue line was, if memory serves me correctly, for unique users visiting your site.

That line is no more. Maybe this has something to do with the massive growth that the site is experiencing. I’m sure we’ll be hearing from Vincent soon on the issue as there is nothing on the developments blog.

I wonder what sort of backlash Vincent and the MG team will receive for this little change?

OK, so it isn’t really a little change. There are some significant differences featured on the new Amagama homepage. For one thing, there are no recent comments appearing on the homepage and no recent blog posts. In the place of the recent blog posts there is a tag cloud that seems to be displaying all of the hot topics in the realm of Amagama.

Previous complaints from old Blogmark users about the previous version of the Amagama homepage were that the community aspect had left the platform. This is definitely apparent now with the new updates.

Amatomu, the other MG blog resource is now also featured on the site. While there are links to recent comments and the homepage does show who is online and a list of new blogs, I feel like there is a wave of Amabadmouthing coming the way of the Vincent. Sorry buddy, lets hope it pans out differently.

It seems as though Vincent has attempted to make conversion from Blogmark blog to Amagama a lot easier on the new homepage and registration seems to be simpler.
