The blogs use to update every (1) minute -- I'm testing out having them update every 10 seconds. We will see how it works out... this should be pretty much "real time" for you since it takes a few seconds to submit things and reload pages, etc.

Would anyone be interested in a feature you could turn on in your settings that had the site email you if you had not updated your blog in a few days?

I was talking with someone that likes posting to their blog but gets busy and forgets to put up entries sometimes.

Would you use this if I offered it?

If you upload an image to the gallery you can now change the size it displays in your blog page.

When you click the link to add an image to your blog, you can now select a different percentage to reduce the image. If you look at the line that is added to your blog you can also manually change the size -- just look for ##%, such as "80%" and change it to "85%" for example.

I just added a (rudementary) Private Message feature on the blog comments. If you click PM, you can respond specifically to the person that left a comment. I still have to clean it up, but it seems to work. The "private" checkbox (if you see one) will be automatically checked and unchecking it will not work -- it sends an email message to the person directly using the comment system and then should return you back to the original blog post you sent from.

Things I will be adding shortly:

* A link in the Profile page to send someone a private message
* A link in the blog page to send a private message (on the right side)
* A "Referring Page" URL in the email you receive, to give you some reference as to where the person contacted you from (if they contacted you from a blog comment for example)
* A link in blog comment emails to respond back to the author using the private message feature.
