Wednesday March 29, 2006 : Dynamic blog content images

Crablog blog content image

Since the beginning Crablog has had the ability to generate an image with the contents of the blogs most recent post. This is useful for inserting in to many profiles, such as Myspace, where dynamic content can be hard to insert. This is the way it has looked since it was first created; this is the next feature that will be worked on. It needs a fresh and clean look, and some bugs need to be worked out. Look in on your account page soon for information on using this feature.

We are doing some final tweaking and then after some testing a new feature will be ready for public use.

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.
