Sunday May 28, 2006 : Comment Systems Future

The next step we are taking is integrating the comment system within each blog's skin. Seeing the horrible Crablog header probably scares away some people who want to comment on users blogs. The spam protection will also be improved upon.

Sunday December 25, 2005 : Comment system and user profile page are up

If you are logged in, then you should see "Comment" links for each post. Click those links to leave comments for that post. Support for private comments and other features may soon follow. The "Edit" links still go nowhere, which will be next on the list. We also created a profile page for each username. Usernames along with user email addresses are the two unique identifiers in the system, and sometimes emails will be hidden from the public to avoid spam or protect privacy. Before for each post or comment, only the name of the user was provided, and the name of users was not unique so spoofing was possible. Now links to each user profile are provided so each post or comment can be tracked back to a given username.

Friday December 09, 2005 : We now have basic AJAX

Crablog now has basic AJAX functionality. To see an example go here and try to search for "butters" or "Guinness" by typing slowly one letter at a time. Besides the search as you type functionality, we have also made the archive links use AJAX too. No more waiting for each page of every month to download from the webserver when you click. For now, when on any Crablog page, just find "AJAX" on the menu to the left to view that page with these new features.

Tuesday November 22, 2005 : No more manual password entry

Now you should be able to sign on and post to any of your blogs without having to enter your password manually each time. Currently we are working on making the home, or My Account, page more functional. Check back soon for updates, if we are not sidetracked expect good things soon.
