Here is a quick update on what I have been up to on the site:

1) RSS 1.0/2.0 & Atom Syndications feeds are now working
2) I have posted Miasma of Musings on several blog listings
3) I have turned on PINGing to several Blog aggrigators, we wil now be getting more exposure.
4) The look and feel of the site and sidebars is closer to what I wanted
5) XML on the main page is validated, making it easier for search engines to catalog
6) CSS still needs more work.
7) In the stats page, online members are now shown through their icon. I think this is cool, but I will have to limit it later, but that is not hard.
8) People who have not uploaded or chosen an avatar get a nice “?” smiley.
9) Top Right Login area is looking better
10) the Referrers page is updated with this site look and feel.

Very Important: I need to set up an email remailer so that email address do not get spammed. I will work on that first thing.

Oh, there is so much more to do, but it is coming along and you are all here for the ride. I would love to get even more bloggers going, so if you know anyone, direct the here and lets get them blogging.

On a philosophical note: Seeing as how my cash situation has become “tight” I am going to work a licence with pMachine and turn this commercial. My plan is that the first 25 bloggers will be grandfathered in for life at no charge, but people after that could pay $10 a month or $100 a year for the priviledge of blogging with all these fine bloggers. For this they will get the tech support of me and their own look and feel for their blog. For additional funds they may want me to build them custom templates.

Besides all that.... things are coming along really well, I have just the content pages to do, and once that is done, I will really promote the site, although I may start dooing that right now.

So there you have it… I have not been idle, just doing things that may not be immediately visible.
