Tiiiiiina's blog: "New & Improved Fubar Features"

It turns out us fubarers are a nice and pleasant bunch. Of all the votes cast on users in the Online Bar (the people scrolling by at the top of your page) and on the New Hotness homepage only 0.002% are "nexts." Congrats on being the most awesome crew ever!

If you want to see the New Hotness homepage your can change your homepage in on the settings page.

I didn't intentionally lie, I swear! In order to subscribe to some-one's statuses you need to paste the URL of the status page or one of the feed UIRLs.. The profile page URL won't work.

Sorry about that!

Tina.

RSS and atom feeds is now available for blogs and statuses. The feeds links are located below the blog stats on the blog page and in the Status box header, to the right, on the public profile page.

You can subscribe to blogs and statuses in Google Reader by simply pasting in a blog or profile URL into the subscribe box. Google automagically figures out the location of the feed.

Please note that the profile and blog must be viewable by everyone to be accessible by Google or other news reader. You will be able to subscribe to restricted blogs and profiles if you are logged in and use in-browser functionally such as Fitefox's live bookmarks.

Let me know how this feature can be improved.

Yup, tresting away.

I spent some time updating the Bible. I know more about javascript now than I ever did before. I know the "common" user will really really see the advanced version of the Bible; if you're an admin you can edit the Bible entries and add more of them, something that will mostly be helpful to Scrapper. But since it'll make life easier for him, he'll be able to make life easier for you.

Let me know if you have any trouble with the Bible at all.

I know a lot of people don't like the editor. Actually, it would really help if you let me know what it is you don't like! At any rate, yesterday, I updated the editor code, fixed the spellchecker and rearranged the controls a bit, just to try to make it more pleasant for you - that's right! you! - to use.

Do you still hate it, don't hesitate to tell me why.

Thanks, and good night.

A new and improved page which lists all the blogs by a particular author is coming. You can get to this page from the Blogs section on a user's profile page.

Have a lovely night!

Earlier today we released the new and improved blogs.

It includes

• a new look and feel;
• (hopefully) enhanced navigation;
• a directory of your family's blogs,  and recently updated blogs;
• and the ability to follow other user's blogs.

If you follow a blog you'll get an alert when there is a new blog entry posted regardless of if you're friends with that user, and the list of blogs that you follow will be posted on your profile and on your blogs. You'll be able to see who follows your blog, and you'll receive an alert when a new person starts to follow your blog.

Hopefully you'll like it. And if you like it really, really much we can keep adding enhancements to blogs, like rss feeds and trackbacks and other cool features.
Send me a PM if you find something broken. Thanks for all your support. You're the ones who make the world go 'round!
