belodged.com - Travel Blogs

As discussed in the member forum and requested by our users we implemented an “absence function”. This means: You can deactivate your account for a limited time frame (holiday, ill, not reachable etc.) . Result: In the search for accommodations you will show up as “away” and user do not try to contact you for nothing.

To all our Spanish speaking friends: after English and German we are now proud to offer to you belodged.com also in Spanish. Nevertheless if something should be missing or incorrect, then please let us know - or even better - send your translation directly to us! We would be very pleased!!!

Otherwise it can never harm to practice a little English
Further languages will follow…

All the best for 2008!
Yours belodged.com team

PS: For sure many many thanks to Elia and Yolanda for the great work.

Just to inform you: Today you can notice some design issues. But functional everything will be finde. We are working on the HTML Code for a better performing and W3C Validation.

Update (3 hours later):

We got - just the home page of www.belodged.com , we work on the other ones too - the XHTML W3C Validation. Congratulations to our programmers. For you this will means you will get a great performance by “loading” the page and a better search engine optimization for new free accommodations.

We are just testing the first spanish content. During this we will make some further improvements for users where we do not have their language yet.

Just a thank you to our belodged.com user «Sunkist». She/he informed us about a small bug during contacting other users. This was solved in minutes.

Thank you very much
The belodged.com Team

Today we are on testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing ….

And it helps: We found a bug. If an user logged in and had an other language than english and german - he/she got german. Changed that to english. No its better we think ;o)

Every CITY and REGION you can find in the database was written by a belodged.com user. This means when you look for “Rio” and you find as a result:

Country: USA
Region: Bavaria
City: Rio de Janerio

our programmers didnt drank to much ;o). A user was given us this information about his accommodation during the registration or modification process. What can we do against this? Not much … It’s on you - the community. Please inform the user via the messaging system about his small mistake. For sure you can contact us too. But we will contact the user again - so its faster when you do it ,o).

In the future we will implement a small monitoring system. But if the community is growing up like it’s doing right now so fast … its on you ;o).

Just a small update: We are happy to inform that we are just infront of finishing the spanish and french translations! Brigitt from Switzerland and Elia from Spain (now in Dublin) are working with us together. A warm welcome!

Solved: The problem is solved. You can use the full text search again.

problem: As we noticed already in December. The search for accommodations gives - lets say it this way - not the best results at the moment. We still having some problems implenting the old data before the relaunch. Please use in the meanwhile the search over the maps. This is the best way. We hope we will solve the problems until next week. Thank you!
