Saturday March 31, 2007 : Can't go a year without any news

We here at crablog (pronounce it however you want) are committed to offering our users a blogging experience of the highest caliber. Even though there has not been a single post to the official crablog blog in almost a year, we have been busy behind the scenes working on other projects not remotely related to crablog because they were more interesting to us at the time. But recently some users have become annoyed by the amount of comment spam they get in their blogs, and they are tired of manually going through the database and removing all of it. Even though it is quick to remove it all, it seems like a fun task to make a complicated method to handle the comment spam automatically. So we give our personal commitment to ourselves (since we are basically the only people who use crablog for blog hosting) to take care of the spam problem. Obviously the CAPTCHA image was not completely working, we will look in to this and other methods of curbing the comment spam. If you are an avid reader and commenter on a blog (one of the few blogs on here, none of which are worth reading), then we please ask that you report any problems you may be encountering when trying to leave comments!

Wednesday March 29, 2006 : Dynamic blog content images

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.

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!
