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.

Wednesday January 04, 2006 : Post directly to your blog from other websites

A basic posting API (subset of the blogger / metaweblog API) has been implemented. You can now post to your blog using standard blogging clients and other services such as Digg and Flickr. See your account control panel for more information. We will be expanding the API to support more functionality and compatibility soon.

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.

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.

Wednesday November 09, 2005 : Internally and soon externally

We are making some good progress overall here. We are in the process of sorting our priorities, making sure the important things happen first. The only problem is actually deciding what the most important stuff is. There is a lot of red tape around here; we can't just implement everything we think of without consulting the people above us. (If you are an insider here that should make a lot of sense)
