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.

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.

Sunday January 01, 2006 : Work here continues in to the New Year

As the system is now pretty functional, more focus will be put on usability and design than in the past. Functionality is still the priority though. Stayed tuned here for the latest news and Happy New Year!

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.

This post will be the take the number of posts in the system in to the triple digits, but how many digits can we go before it breaks?

Tuesday November 01, 2005 : November is going to be big

At least for Crablog, November will be a big month. Our goal is to have the comment system up by the end of the month. The secondary goal for this month will also be to have the automatic registration system completed and ready for use (well not that anyone will ACTUALLY use it, but in theory people could if they wanted to, as if there are not enough good blog sites out there to use already, why use this lame one). Wish us luck.
