Have been terribly distracted of late but am now back on the case and rolling out some enhancements that have been sitting in TEST:

  • thumbnails of submitted blogs are now available
  • new ‘Find tag’ search function replaces the previous Rollyo bar (we think it’s a little faster)
  • free local bloghosting now available via weblogger.com.au
  • blog submission validation (just in case…)
  • …did I mention my first foray (www.realestate2.com.au)

For those in the vicinity, please drop by the Sydney Webloggers meetup on November 23rd.

I’m looking forward to meeting face-to-face some of the bloggers that I’ve been swapping emails and IMs with. Please call me on the mobile if you’re lost or would like to meetup beforehand (Thanks Steve - looking forward to our coffee).

After having a look at the fantastic Livehouse (see previous post), I kicked around the idea of a free local bloghosting service. The appeal of having a complementary website to AustralianBlogs and News2.0 proved to great so….

Ta da….the AustralianBlogs team is proud to present weblogger.com.au (beta).

Kay ‘The Goatlady’ Smoljak and trusty Starfish sidekick Anton are working furiously on the final design which we hope to launch in the new year.

Thanks to Simone for roadtesting and the terrific support.
