A few of you have written in to ask What's a blacklist"?"
Here's what it does: The blacklist prevents members you select from sending you messages, leaving comments or requesting duels.
So how do you add a member to your blacklist you ask? It really couldn't be simpler. Just click 'More options' > 'Block' on the user in questions Blog or Profile and voila, they're blacklisted!
Do you have a great blog that you want to share with the ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD?!
Here are some tips to propel your blog to top of search engines like Google. You'll have even more fans and visitors!
* Network: Provide the link to your blog on all the sites you visit. For example, if you're totally addicted to Harry Potter and have some articles dedicated to this topic in your blog, add the link to your blog on a Harry Potter fansite or forum. Or if you know someone who created a site about Harry, have that person stick your blog on their site. Be sure to explain what your site is about so that more people will come.
* Clarity: You've gotta tell things as they are when you describe your blog. Try to be precise. If your blog is about possible Harry Potter conspiracy theories, explain it as clearly as you can and it'll go up in the search engines. If you aren't precise enough, your blog probably won't get picked up on by most search engines.
*Describe your pictures: This is really a SPECTACULAR way to get picked up in image searches. Instead of writing "photo1" or "lovethatbabe", write "me making cupcakes" or "Brad Pitt"
Did you know that there are countless options available to you in giving your blog exactly the look you want?.
Head to 'Settings' > 'My blog' > Skin and take a look for yourself.
You can personalise every aspect (font, size, colour, background etc..) of all of these separate sections:
• Background
• Columns
• Articles
• Article title and date
Play around with different possibilities and just click 'Save' when you're happy with your blog's new look!
A bit S T U M P E D seeing foreign words here?
Skyrock has a cult following in France, where it was launched, so there's a bit of Frenchies on this site.
So... If you're getting messages in French or from French people, it's really because they're curious about you. Or maybe they just find you really hot :=)
Skyrock is now in English, with communities growing in Australia, Canada, America, and all over Europe.
So... If you're getting messages in any other languages, people are definitely curious about you! Hotness is hotter when it's exotic. Kinda like how the grass's greener on the other side ;=)

You're surfing blithely on the web, as usual, when suddenly, something VERY, VERY wrong jumps out at you from the screen. Photos or writings that you authored have been hijacked by other bloggers, mocking your works, or worse, claiming them as their own!Welcome to the Internet ;=)
Here's how to avoid the problem:
- Protect your work
Leave your mark on your pictures, or art. Sign your pictures with your username, so that it's present even if people steal your works.
- Respect other people's work
Don't do unto others what you don't want to be done unto you! Give credit to the people who inspired you, or whom you copied pictures from, by citing their username or Skyrock address.
You can now choose who can leave you comments: ie., friends, best friends, identified members, nobody. To do so, just go your blog settings.PS: Don't forget that you can always decide to publish comments before or after you approve them, whether it be for your blog or profile.
You're having difficulty finding an article among the 500+ in your blog. Why not create a page summing up all of them using permalinks?
A permalink is the unique Internet address attributed to each article. Just click on the "#" that's found on the lower left of each article, and the address will appear in your browser address bar. It's practical for citing specific articles,or copy it in your own article summary.
