You can now "Bookmark" your favorite blogs and have them appear on your blog page. When you are viewing a blog you like and you are logged in, click on the "BM" link in the top bar of the website. This will Bookmark the link and it will appear in an area on the right side of your blog. You can delete them easily by using the edit link on your blog page or the edit link from the My Accounts page.

You can now list your MSN, Yahoo or AOL Instant Messenger IDs in your profile. Just click on My Account and then Edit next to the Profile section.

If you have AOL or Yahoo IM, an online/offline icon will appear on your blog on the right side that people can use to send you messages.

If you ever need to "turn off" your blog for some reason, there is now an option in the settings area for your blog. Click on My Account, and then "Settings" next to your blog name.

Your blog will be made unavailable until you turn that option back on. Nothing is deleted, it just makes the blog information not available to the outside world.

First version of blog search is now online. There is a link to it at the bottom of the front page as well as a search box in the top right just over the popular blogs section.

Just type in something like "computers" and you can search all blog posts. Results are sorted so that the top result is the best match.

Go to your blog and click on the "Edit Gallery" link, or go to "My Account" and click on the Gallery link next to your blog.

Upload images to your account and they will appear in your gallery and in a link on your blog page!

If you click on "head" next to an image in your gallery, it will convert that image into an icon for display on your blog page.

I will be adding a way to edit the description after uploading shortly. For now you have to make sure you enter the exact description you want when uploading the image.

Also, I will add a way to link to an image in the gallery for display in your blog messages shortly.

Let me know how it works or if you have any problems.
