New Blog Features

I've been working away at adding a lot of cool new features to our blog system.  So now instead of just comments you have more tools to use on your blog.  Here are a few but, not all, of our new features.  Listing the authors of blogs, date published, month view, and a newly updated rss feed.

We have also added "pinging" to our blog system.  What this means is that whenever a new blog is added our system notifies 50 or so other websites about it.  Some of these sites will list the blog on their site, some will tell search engines like google, and others will simply tell other sites like itself about it.  This new "pinging" feature will help a lot with SEO and directing people to your site.
