New Features

You guys rock! Here are a few items from my wish list:

Blog site stats -- so we can see how many visitors we are getting.

Change templates -- I hate the template a chose! Let me pick a different one! :)

Not sure how practical either are, just tossing them out there. Keep up the great work!

I'm going to implement a SiteMeter for user blogs real soon. Basically the way it will work is: You'll sign up for SiteMeter, and then put your ID into the blog settings page, which will cause a SiteMeter to appear on the blog template.

At the same time I'll probably implement a way to select a different blog template. There is also discussions with the HTML guys about having a CSS-based blog style where you could upload your own CSS classes to completely change the look of your template if you wanted. This way we could still maintain security by not allowing you to submit your own HTML, but anyone could modify the CSS to their hearts desire (and it would be completely DIV based so the layout could change as well.)

I've noticed that my blogroll is double paced (as are most I've seen in townhall blogs), but some are single spaced.

Also, I'd like to have a lot more blogs in my blogroll, and would like to list them by category, with a heading for each category. Is this possible now, or might it be possible in the future?

It works great. Thanks.

You mentioned emails that you have received. I don't see anywhere other than this forum to contact you.

Sandra,
I used to have my email listed on my blog, but due to having my blog featured a couple of times, I started to receive a barrage of emails and spent more time answering emails than I did coding. If you need to contact me via email for some reason (I check comments on my blog frequently), you can send an email to info@townhall.com and the editorial staff will make sure it reaches me if needed. In a site as public as this, its difficult to work sometimes when everyone can contact you, so I'd rather just not make my email address public instead of having to ignore emails.
