Noticed yesterday that Randy registered for this site. Cool. Thanks Randy. Of course, I don’t think that actually achieves anything at this point. Originally I had it set up so you could only post comments if you were registered. But I turned that off after the second day. I think right now, the only thing you get if you register is the ability to see the other registered people.

I could make it so other registered people could actually add new entries (a “group blog”) but I don’t think I want to do that.

I suppose I could do something like email all the registered people whenever I do an update too. But I’m not sure about that whole thing.

I also discovered that with the free version of this software the mail features (like, send Sam an email whenever anyone leaves a comment) only work if you have an SMTP server running on the webserver, which I don’t right now. The Pro version lets you use an external SMTP server, and has a couple other interesting features. I may have to upgrade sometime.

Also though, while the old PowerMac G3 I’m running this on is fine for a static site, it is noticably slow with this dynamic site, and sometimes times out when I post new things. Kind of annoying. But when I get a new computer in January, I want to get another laptop, not a new desktop to use as a server!
