Commentary Apr 25 2006
Ok comments are back - simply look at an individual post on my blog now, and underneath, an “Add Comment” section has appeared. Simply enter your comment (just a simple textbox for now I’m afraid) and who you are, then hit “Comment!”. I’m going to be doing some serious development on the entire software soon and commenting will be done properly - but for now at least it’s an arbitrary way for any readers wishing to comment, to do so.

Aesthetics Mar 18 2006
Few minor updates to the blog software yesterday evening, resulting in only a few visual changes, but giving me even more power over the design. After the last round of changes I made I still wasn’t satisfied with the level of customization that could be achieved, but now I think that pretty much anything should be possible with it! For the time being I’ve kept the changes modest, over the next few days and weeks I’ll be making some design changes to the blog, and also hopefully launching a few sites using the software, all with differing designs ;-)

Scrawl updates Mar 4 2006
Big updates last few days to the software I use for this very blog. Firstly, an almost complete rewrite of the software itself (Scrawl), turning it into a fully blown content management system, allowing far greater customization. I can now use Scrawl to host multiple sites, mapped to different domains, and each site allows static content to be added, new blogs to be created, posts to be added, aswell as comments and blog categories too. I still have feeds available for each blog, and an XML-RPC interface so that I can write this very post, and all my others, from within Performancing. On top of that, the way Scrawl has been restructured makes it nice and easy for me to write new plugins, to host other types of content, such as reviews, polls, charts, stats, anything I can think of!
The style can be fully customized - expect the style of this blog to change over the coming days as I play with it, and each site hosted on the Scrawl software can have its own design. I plan to host more sites, for different projects and ventures, using the software.
It uses a nice model view controller architecture now, using my recent additions to xFramework to great advantage, and then it uses Xml and Xsl transforms to display the data. All in all, much better, faster, and more reliable!
So that’s it really, the only downside was the url change required, however the old url now redirects to this page (the RSS feed url redirects to the blog HTML page too however). But with the new system, I can change my blogs design as many times as I want, aswell as add features and updates, without affecting any of the core stuff, like the post data, or the url structure. Scrawl is here to stay, and soon I want to allow people to use it for their blogs, sites, project pages, anything. If you have an idea of what you might want to use Scrawl for, do get in touch.

Formatting issues Mar 4 2006
Just updated Scrawl to fix some formatting issues I was having earlier with new posts and line breaks. Hopefully the posts will now appear a little better formatted. Also, the Technorati post I made earlier should now include my Technorati scriptlet (my picture, and a link to my profile), as I have claimed my blog!
