The itch to write

Now you can leave your avatar when you do a comment in a blog at Blog.com.
You just need to be logged in.

Hope you like it!

As you can see in the blog's sidebar we have a new item, the Slideshow!

To add a slideshow to your blog's sidebar just go here (also a new page) and choose the slideshow item. After this just choose an album and it's done!

Hope you like it!

Blog.com will be down for about three hours, from 15h00 GMT, for a database upgrade. We'll be upgrading the database servers to postgresql v8.2. Unfortunately this requires a dump and restore of the data, so the database must be stopped.

The good news is that we'll take the opportunity brought by the database being down, and launch the next major release of blog.com. Details after we're online.

Please excuse us for the interruption of service.

As you can see in this sidebar we have a new item - a calendar that allows you to browse our posts throughout the ages... If you wish to add a calendar to your blog:

Login > Click Manage > Click Sidebar > Click New > Select Calendar and submit

We also launched a new comment management system where you can choose to moderate your blog's comments or even detail who can comment:

• No one
• Everyone
• Only identified users (although emails are only visible to the blog's author, in order to comment, readers have to supply their email address)
• Only Blog.com's registered users (this is the base for an even more enhanced comment platform were your readers and commentators can truly authenticate theirselves, keep track of their comments and have a profile picture associated to their comments)
