If someone has changed their color scheme and you have a problem reading their blog, you can click the "Clean" link at the top of the screen and it will show the blog in the default color scheme for easy reading.

This setting is currently "per blog" and will stay until you change it back.

I have added a "URL" link under images when viewing your own gallery (you must be logged in). This will show you what the URL is to place the image directly into your blog since many people were having problems with the old way of finding the URL.

You can find more on posting images in your blogs at:

I am looking into a way to easily select and add images to your blog posts from your gallery (through a gallery popup).

I have now updated your blog visitor counter. You will notice it has dropped -- don't be alarmed... this is due to it now counting unique visitors per day, rather than total visits by anyone, anytime. It will be much more accurate and fair for everyone. It now tracks "Visitors" rather than "Visits".

More details are in one of my earlier news posts.

I have finally finished a test version of the Blog Palette Editor which will let you change the color and fonts of your blog pages!

This is still in test phase, so please be nice. There may be things that are confusing or don't work.

I have setup a blog to support it at:

http://palette.blogstream.com

I will be adding more comments and help as I can.

Please let me know what you think... after this gets stabilized I will have a palette area where you can choose from preset palettes for your blog.

Some of you may have gotten a random "error page" on the site since last evening. I don't know exactly why it started happening, but i made a change to make it stop. It had something to do with some new additions I made yesterday. About 600 of you saw it -- sorry for any inconvenience.
