Players,

We just posted the Yankee Region - CCRI - 01-28-2007 Pictures, Click Here.

We are always looking for some great shots from your leagues and or tournements. We all to often get requests to shoot events at locations all over the country, however it's impossiable to photograph every event. Therefore we always look for people that have a camera and want to share their volley experiences with other players. If you are one of these people and can take at least one-hundred pictures or more per-event let us know via the "Contact Us" link and you can become an Offical "VBLI SHOOTER".

See you one the court,

Official VBLI Member Blogs

Each member can now create their own blog. You will be able to manage your blog in every aspect. Below you will find some but now all of great features in our new system:

• Settings
  You can customize how your blog works here. Many options here will set the defaults for every entry. Also, you can edit their blog style, category, and also specify whether or not they want a private blog.
• Manage Blocks
  Here, you will be able to edit the blocks that they are able to have on their blog. See the blocks section.
• Manage Entries
  This is where users can see many of their entries at once, and perform tasks such as editing, deleting, setting multiple entries to private, drafts, or stick them.
• Manage Comments
  Users can view all of the comments posted in reply to their entries. Depending on permissions, they will be able to edit, delete, and perform any other administrative tasks.

Like most blog systems, we allow users to have "blocks". Blocks are user-customizable sections that appear to the side of their blog. There are 3 types of blocks

• Simple Blocks
  These blocks contain one form element, and based on how the administrator has set up the block, it appears in the block. This is typically used for something like an "About Me" block.
• Complex Blocks
  These blocks contain can contain many pieces of data. The administrator can specify which columns (form elements) the block has, and also how many rows of data the user can enter. How this data is presented is completely up to the administrator. Some example blocks would be: "Favorite Websites", "Favorite Songs", etc. Each block basically acts as its own table of data!
• Content Blocks
  These blocks contain a template, and PHP code. These are the most common blocks, and the most flexible. The archives, calendar, favorite entries, (etc) are all generated using these blocks.

Key Blocks

• Calendar
  Shows the current month on a calendar, and any day where you have entries becomes a link to see entries posted on that day. Users may also browse by month.
• Monthly Archives
  Lists every month/year combination where you have posted entries, and shows the number of entries posted. Clicking on the date will show entries posted in that time period.
• Categories
  Lists all of the categories which you have used, and how many entries were in each. Like the archives, clicking on a prefix will show all entries posted in that category.
• About Me
  Allows users to enter some personal information about themselves.

Entries Of course, a blog system is nothing without entries!

• Private Entries
  Users can create private entries, which would prevent non-buddies from viewing it. You may also give out permission to view private entries.
• Sticky Entries
  Users can 'stick' an entry, as you would a thread. It will appear at the top of their blog until they unstick it.
• Draft Entries
  Users can post entries as draft entries, which would make it invisible to everyone but themself. They can either publish it manually, or set an auto-publish date.
• Rate Entries
  Users can rate entries, so everyone can easily tell the good from the bad! This is also shown in the top entries area.
• Send to Friends
  Users can Send send links to entries to their friends!
• Subscriptions
  Bloggers can subscribe to other bloggers' entries, so they can recieve email notification (instant, daily, or weekly) when any new comments are made.
• Favorite Entries
  Users can add an entry to their favorites! Favorites will stand out when viewing blogs, and the entries which are favorited by the most users will show up in the top entry statistics.
• See Who is Viewing
  Optionally, you can have the users who are viewing an entry or blog listed at the bottom.
• Syndication
  All of your and entries will also have highly configurable RSS feeds, which you can add to Myspace or other systems.
• Categories
  Users can categorize their entries to any site-wide categories, and also any user-created entries if they have permission. You can browse by category, as well as narrow results (even in the feeds)!

VBLI Groups are here, now members have the power to create discussion groups of their own! VBLI Groups are focused discussions within VBLI’s larger community. VBLI created VBLI Groups so that like minded people can share similar interests. For example: players on the same team or league can share ideas, publicly or privately.

VBLI Groups are moderated and although they follow the global rules of the VBLI’s forums they contain material more lenient so people can speak feely about virtually any volleyball topic.

By joining a VBLI Group it opens up the possibility of asking questions to experts, learning new things, sharing information and meeting people who you might not otherwise meet.

Again All groups are monitored. However, ultimately a group is the responsibilities of the group leader who will promote and encourage discussion as well as uphold the rules of the site and any which they may have set specifically for the group subject.

VBLI GROUPS

[VBLIStaff]

Players,

In addition to being able to view thousands of pictures, discuss any volleyball related topic or finding players for your next game you can now share your experiences using VBLI Groups and VBLI Blogs.

With our new Groups system you have the power to create and control discussions of your very own! VBLI Groups are focused discussions within the larger community. We created this feature so that likeminded people can share similar interests. For example: players on the same team or league can share ideas, publicly or privately.

With our new Blogs system you now can share your experiences on and off the court to other players just like yourself.

To show our appreciation we will be awarding prizes for the best blogs, most active groups and members each month.
