Well done! Glad to see some RSS here, too - I know most people don't use it but us geeks appreciate being able to stick this in google reader!
Jeremy, great to see you here! I REALLY appreciate your nice comments. You are completely right, integrating applications together (especially ones that are mature and have their own complicated structures) was easily the hardest thing that had to be done for Bring4th. I had a great time completely overhauling Chipmunk Blogger into what we have today. Just look at Bodhi's blog page for an example of the flexibility you have in designing your own environment.
It truly was a joy, and as I told Carla and Gary, it's one of those things that I felt I had to do. There was no way to do it without motivation and support from Gary and the testing group.
Just a reminder, though... There are still many features and ideas to add, and there will be many (hopefully minor) bugs to fix. So if you spot any idiosyncrasies, unusual usability practices, or something that flat out fails, please let me know as soon as possible so I can jump on it.
Looking forward to some good times on here! Thanks for all of your efforts as well, Jeremy, and bringing your seemingly endless wisdom of the LOO material here.
Take care,
Steve
