Saturday February 04, 2006 : Templates

Blog with template example

Users can now change the look and feel of their blog by making new or using existing skins. There is no support or documentation on how to use templates, but a quick tutorial and reference page will be made shortly. Two examples of the new template system can be seen here and here, both of these skins were adapted (easily and quickly) from other major blog template formats.

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.
