Blogging Look and Feel Templates as Ads

Sony Pictures is giving away free blog templates as part of their promotion effort for Spiderman. Pretty cool idea.

If you wanted to, these templates could easily be modified to work with BlogFusion.

Free WIKI

Came across a WIKI tool today that will apparently let you set up a WIKI for free – SeedWIKI.com.

seedwiki is what you make of it. It can be your family sharing stuff without fear of spam. A collaborative business intranet. Your community planning a new recreation center. A space for friends to talk about your favorite team. A group of professionals doing a project together.

Germany!

I’m writing you from Munich Germany!

I’ve got 10 hours on the plane home tomorrow and will be working on multiple categories for each blog entry. I think this makes a ton of sense. I don’t think I’m going to worry about sub-categories though, as there doesn’t seem to be any compelling reason (or any reason at all, really) to add that level of complexity to the application.

Let’s see, what else I might work on while on the plane… 

·     Improved Admin interface 

·     WAY improved Admin usability issues to be addressed

·     Changing flow of certain existing pieces, then re-wiring them to work correctly

·     Adding management interface for email (blog and comment) subscriptions

Basically looks like I’ll be finishing off some of the usability updates that I’ve been working on. Good stuff, I’m very happy with where it’s going. I’ll post some screenshots soon.

Blogging Basics

Blogging Basics – from Technorati.com.

Technorati is a pretty interesting site. Nothing quite as fun as searching for your blog URL to find new people linking to you that you never knew about before!

Increasing Readership

An interesting read on increasing readership for your blog.
