Web Logging Features Publishing Tool (SCREENSHOT) Allows you to quickly and easily create web log entries. Think of these like journal entries. They can be short and sweet or long and involved. You can create entries many times a day or once every now and then. The publishing tool makes it easy for you to update your site. You don't need to know any sort of coding or html... you simply need to type your entry and click "Add Log Entry". A Home For Your Site Once you create your entries they're published automatically (you can also keep them private if you like) to your public site where friends, family, associates and the web at large can view them. You can register your site in search engines and build your readership. You get your own URL that you can publicize. Comparison to Other Publishing Tools It's very similar but also very different. The best of other publishing tools with a whole bunch of exciting new features. Post Features WYSIWYG Editor (SCREENSHOT) Edit complex web log entries with links, fonts, smilies and other formatting just like in a word processor.

Activity-Specific Log Types Basic Log Type This is the traditional web log and can be used for any sort of logging. Activity-Specific Log Types Sure, we have a very powerful basic web log. But we also have activity-specific web logs for anything you're interested in... running, biking, swimming, dreaming... many to choose from. By adding additional data fields and providing graphical reports, web logging takes on increased relevance in specific activities. You're able to keep track of quantifiable information and mine that information for wisdom. Prebuilt Charts and Graphs The power of specialized log types: cool charts and graphs. The prebuilt charts and graphs focus on activity-specific elements. For example, the Running Log has a summary of runs by shoe worn. Custom Charts and Graphs You're able to create and save your own custom charts and graphs. You choose from pie charts, bar charts, line charts, etc. Then you choose the fields to display. And you can filter by smart date periods like 'Last Week' or 'Year To Date.' Multiple Web Logs Per Site (SCREENSHOT) Add as many web logs as you like to your site. Mix Private and Public Web Logs You can have private and public web logs on one site. Nobody will know that your private web logs even exist. Custom Default Field Values Store a set of default values for your activity-specific logs. This will save you time with your logging. For example, make your Nike Red Shoes the default on your Running log so that you don't have to select them from a dropdown each time you make a log entry. Efficient.

A web log entry that falls between the Time Period dates is considered part of the Time Period. Use it to define parts of your life ('In College', 'Living in Atlanta', etc.), parts of a project or anything else that comes to mind. This is a good way to create relationships between entries in different web logs. Site Reporting Features Traffic Summary Page (SCREENSHOT) Publishing is important. But to be able to tailor your message to your readership... or at least understand the effects of your words on your readership... you need a detailed view of what's happening. Entry Traffic (SCREENSHOT) See what entries are being read the most. Browser Type (SCREENSHOT) Which logs are the most popular? Image Traffic (SCREENSHOT) Which images are being viewed the most? Browser Type (SCREENSHOT) What browsers are your readers using? Use this page to find out. Referers (SCREENSHOT) Where is your traffic coming from? Search engines? Other web logs? This page will tell you. Raw Clicks (SCREENSHOT) Not big on summarized data? You want the raw data. We understand. This page will show you each click that is made on your site. Watch it all day.

SuperCookie (SCREENSHOT) The Supercookie tells your site that it's you visiting it... not a visitor. So... what good does that do me? Glad you asked. This comes in handy when you are looking at your traffic stats. You probably don't want to see traffic stats that reflect your own activity. You want to see visitors... other people... not you. This allows you to surf your own site as much as you like without affecting your traffic statistics. Pretty cool eh? Site Administration Features Powerful Administration Site The Administration site is where you create log entries. Designed to make your logging quick and easy. Everything is at your fingertips in a low-bandwidth interface that's zippy and responsive..

All messages, images, files, trackbacks, traffic data and other information will be moved. If it's the same type of activity-specific log all extended data will be retained as well. Smart Log Delete (SCREENSHOT) Just because you delete a log doesn't mean you want to delete the entries in it. Smart log delete allows you to move your existing entries to another log of the same log type when you delete. AdminTools (SCREENSHOT) AdminTools allow you to edit your site in place. You see your public site as your visitors would see it but unlike them you also have a powerful toolbar at your disposal with numerous functions relevant to the entry or log that you're looking at. Linkrot Fixer The Linkrot Fixer helps you diagnose and fix broken outbound links on your site. Every night the system looks for links in your web log entries and spiders them to see if they're still valid links. When broken links are found the system flags them as such and gives you an opportunity to fix them quickly and easily. A cached version of keywords from the page you linked to is sent to Google which responds with a set of recommendations. If other users have fixed the same link you'll be able to see (in a depersonalized manner) what they fixed it with. This saves you time and increases the quality of your site. Security Features Password Protection at the Log Level Keep your site private, share it with a few friends, open it to the world. With separate password control for each log you have the flexibility. Image Protection Images are never exposed on a web server. All access to images that you post is done through a security-controlled program that makes sure only allowed users can see them. QuickPass Log Password If you have a private log that you want to share with a large but closed audience you don't want to give permission to view that log to each person individually. So you add a QuickPass password to the log and tell your community what the password is. They log in with a single password and view the log that you've given them permission to view. Email Subscriptions Easy Email Subscription Signup (SCREENSHOT) Your site visitors have a very quick and easy way to signup to get your site sent to them via email.

RSS Feeds for Individual Logs Each log has an individual RSS feed. This is important because it allows your business friends to focus on your business writings and your fitness friends to only read your fitness entries. Activity-Specific Data Available Your RSS Feeds shares activity-specific data. For example, the running log RSS feed puts distance run, running time and other fields into the RSS feed. Javascript Embedding (SCREENSHOT) You can embed your web log entries into another site simply by copying and pasting a single line of code. Cell Phone / WAP Features Post by Cell Phone / WAP Device You can post to your web log from anywere using a cell phone or other WAP-enabled device. Access Traffic Data by Cell Phone View your site traffic and see how many new messages your site has via cell phone or other WAP device. Never feel like you're out of touch with your readership. Camera Phone / Moblogging Features Special Camera Phone Features (SCREENSHOT) There are a number of settings that allow you to control how your camera phone posts to your web log. Daily Camera Phone Photo Aggregation If you post a lot of camera phone images to your site it can make your site look somewhat messy. You can choose to aggregate all camera phone entries from one day into a single entry. That keeps things nice and clean. Override Camera Phone Subject When posting with your camera phone it's often difficult to type a meaningful message with those tiny phone keys. This setting allows you to override any subject that is sent from the phone with what's in the box to the right. This is convenient because it allows you to quickly click and send without worrying about how the subject appears on your site. Use <$Date$> to have the server put a date in the title for you. For example "Phone Cam Pics From <$Date$>" Default Image Category Configure your site so that camera phone images are automatically stored in the correct image category. Log Specific You can target camera phone messages to specific web logs. Ignore Camera Phone Message Body Similar to the Override Subject for camera phones. Some cell phone companies automatically put an advertisement or other text in the body of camera phone messages. You can use this setting to override such text. Save Incoming Camera Phone Images as Draft Allows you to send camera phone entries to your web log without publishing them. They will remain in Draft until you log in to your Admin section and publish them. This is a convenient way to start entries by camera phone and then finish and publish them with the more powerful Admin section. Email Secret Choose an email secret so that you don't transfer your site's main password over email networks. Higher security.
