I will be releasing a new photo commentary RSS app this weekend. Each estrip user can have their own photo commentary photo feed. You guys will love them I promise.

On another note there are like 10 new people that signed up but never started writing., What is up with that? If you need help email me.

I was chatting with (e:zobar) today when he linked to a google map. I realized that he had to look it up and then paste the link which got truncated. It made me realize the chat should be smart enough to do it for you, so now it can.

If you want to link to a buffalo address type it in the chat like this:
"map 567 lafayette avenue"

This will auto link the address to google maps. If the address can be found on more than one street it gives you the choice. There is no way to map to another city and I think that is fine seeing as we are a local site. If you want to link to an out of Buffalo map simply use your journal. The map button can accept addresses that are even out of state.

API page got a new look. I think it makes more sense.

I moved the browser war under the hangman and userpics. I moved the epoetry link above the hangman, new icon for remember buffalo.

Added an interview link where epoetry used to be below the banner. The interview are freakin' old. Please someone come forth and offer to be our new street reporter. I can get you whatever hardware/software you need. I ever have a 25ft corded pro microphone so that you can look like an official reporter.

I got rid of the plabs link under the banner. I will be moving the ocntents to other place. In it's place you will find a new "tutorial" link. It will eventually be the link to the offical newbie guide with video tutorial and all but until then there is at least a little getting started info. Don't forget there are always the help files.

I also added the (e:strip) API and Student loans link under the link tags above hangman when you are logged in. If you haven't added your student loans to the site total, don't forget to do so. Let's aim for $2 million. So far we are at $1 million and only aroudn 20 peeps have entered their info.

The API allows you to mirror your sites content and media on your own website with your own design. You can see an example here

Using the API you can also conglomerate the cotents fo more than one journal on another site. So if you would liek to form your own journal group, you can update you content here and have all the journals from all the members in your group show up on your own website.

(e:jenks) I took your advice and made it so that your journal sound preference determines if you hear everyone else's music instead of determining if yours is played automatically when other people visit. It makes more sense, that way no one has to hear music if they don't want to and can leave the other sounds enabled. Plus if you want to everyone else's and are on a fast connection - you can.
