Blog Studio^TM System Status

We had some connectivity related repairs done today. If you had difficulty using Blog Studio earlier, you should have no problems now.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Comments are here!

Blog Studio Pro members now have a comment link for each post. The blog template is automatically used to generate the comments page that displays existing comments and prompts for new comments (like the Search feature).

Existing Blog Studio Pro members are advised to reset their template and publish to activate the comment count. An alternative is to place the following javascript line in the HEAD section of their existing template:

<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://si.blogstudio.com/BL_Blog
?Method=getCommentScript
&MessageBoardId=<$BlogID$>">
</script>

Power outage (Sorry folks)
- Backup power eventually went down from 21:09:28 EDT to 22:52:01 EDT.

This is a good time to think about disaster recovery. We have been pursuing a mirror site (one for now, more later) that will be synchronized in a different location, power grid, etc. Bloggers can take advantage of the Blog Mirroring feature to mirror posts to a blogging service that supports the Blogger API (we do not currently but we defintiely will) until we get that set up.

Please let us know if you have any problems in the feedback blog or to the webmaster.
