I thought I would update everyone on the enhancements/improvements that have been made to this site. Let me state that this is one of the better blogging systems out there and I am very happy with it.  There are some areas however, that needed some improvement to make it that much better. My developer buddy Fred and I have done just that.  Here are a few of the enhancements:

•     An automatic email notification of new comments is now sent to our subscribers and since the comments text area is limited to 500 characters, a character countdown is included so that the comment poster knows when he/she runs out of space. An Unsubscribe link is also included at the bottom of the notice.
•     An automatic email notification of new blog posts is now sent to our subscribers with a link to the new blog post as well as an Unsubscribe link at the bottom.
•     The Categories listed in the sidebar now display the number of articles posted in that category.
•     The administrator is notified of any message sent through the Contact form so that he/she can react to any needed action.
•     The newsletter system has been modified so that it is now a true "html newsletter sending" module instead of being only a holder for subscriber email addresses.
•     The administrator is notified via email when a visitor Subscribes to notices and newsletters.

I expect there will be more enhancements coming but for now, I feel this blog system compares favorably with many of the more bloated blogs out there. Truth be told, some of the other systems are too complex for the everyday blogger.  I should know since I have tried many of them.  If you like what you see, register to the blog and make yourself heard by posting some articles. Subscription for notices is automatic on registration.
