My friends,
the new version of Pinko's Copies is up and running.
the address is http://www.pinkoscopies.org
which will redirect you to the blog on that domain.
What are the advantages of posting to this new blog, you might ask?
First and foremost, you will no longer need to sign in with your Google account. To understand why this may be beneficial, please see this demo.
Also, you'll be able to save your stuff (pdf, video, images, doc, whatever) directly to the domain.
Right now, you can upload files while you're posting to the blog. I'm also thinking about making a wiki or something like that so we can expand this beyond the simple scrolling blog format, and then you'd be able to upload stuff on another part of the domain and link to it on the blog.
Furthermore, the blog software is open-source. It's called WordPress. It has an importer function, so everything from this Blogger blog is now on that, including comments, etc. It's a pretty great software and its always being updated with new options, since it's open source.
Ok, so now cons: I'm still working on the design of the blog, trying to update it but keep it similar to the design we're used to. It's not so easy since it's all code, but I got it done pretty well. One problem I'm having is that the first line of each post for some reason is only one or two words long, and then it goes to the next line. You'll see what I mean when you check out the blog. It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying and I'm trying to fix it - hopefully, I'll figure it out soon. It's also not a permanent thing, and it has to do with the template, so don't worry about it screwing up the formatting forever.
I'll email all of you with your password to the new blog (you have the same nicknames but that can be changed at any time).
