It works again. You are welcome IE and Safari users losers.

1. Logins last 1 year from the same IP unless you explicitly log out or empty your cookies.
2. You can share blog entries with facebook, twitter, or email with links at the bottom of each journal.
3. If you scroll the front page in the latest firefox or chrome beta you see more comments and chat.
4. Clicking on pictures in blogs loads full size, if it exists.
5. Clicking use as title in topic idea box, transfers topic to title of new journal.

This might be helpful for those of you that type an entry and then accidentally refresh the page or click the back button before publishing. The site will now prompt you to make sure you want to leave.

The restore backup system is also still there, this is just an extra safeguard. You can test it by typing something in the blog publish box and then hitting the refresh button before publishing.

Typing:

*apple
*banana
*strawberry


Will make a bulleted list

• apple
• banana
• strawberry

Typing:

#apple
#banana
#strawberry


Will make a numbered list

1. apple
2. banana
3. strawberry

There is no nesting with list types

We are having our annual New Year's Eve party at 9PM on the 31st at the 24. Hope to see you there.

You can now search by name in the search box without using the e:

Call me continentalist but I refuse to deal with spam from abroad getting in my estrip message box. I was going to just block just the one ip and then I figured why not just senegal then why not just most of the continent. I mean seriously Good Day Sir to you too.

I had previously blocked Germany, France, China, Indonesia, and Russia for the same reasons. Usually, the spammers just give up eventually.

We are having another halloween party on Saturday, Oct 30. Starting around 9PM. You know the place. Both @lilho and @hodown will be there. Bring all your friends.

If you are using firefox 3.6+ or Chrome 5+ you no longer need to use the surebert multi file flash uploader. Now you can use the new surebert dropUpload widget, Simply drag and drop whatever files you want to upload from the desktop on the drop files here box.

The android app now also has a location button you can click to add your current location to the blog you are posting with it. I need to test with it some more, but I pushed the update out so you guys can test with it too if you want.

That and it allows you to move the app to the sdcard if you are running froyo.





You can hit the button multiple times to add new locations to one entry. Say for example on a walk.

Even better with android, you can use the default maps, navigation or lattitude app and share any place with your blog using the built in "share this place" mechanism. This copies more data including the place contact info and name.
