It's always exciting to work on the first pieces of a website. From it's humble beginning of nothingness the result no mater what it is an infinite improvement. After 3 days of development on my local system I finally deemed the result worthy of promoting to the live site. The site now has actual content and features two blogrimages. The first is this one which you are reading now and the second by Eric Ordway. Having real content on a site while it is under development is an invaluable resource. He has also given a great deal of feedback in his experience in working with the site and helped me to shore up usability issues.

In it's current state the site has three types of content. A blogrimage, which is a simple registration of an external blog via rss feed, a blog post, which is a single imported post from the registered blog, and a static page that is used to contain simple informative text on the site such as the home or about pages. These types are then presented dynamically through several other pages on the system. The blog page lists the most recent blogs, and the blogrimage page allows the user to choose how to organize the data and even allows a title search. All that said the only piece that is missing is the categories I mentioned yesterday. Do not fear they are in place they just havn't been exposed to the public yet. Today was very productive and I will sleep well knowing the site is on schedule for completion.

My wish list for the next couple dyas are the following features:
Thumbs up great blogrimages, blog posts, and comments.
Flag Blogrimages that you want to follow
Flag inappropriate blogs
Search for blogrimage using a site search (Google may help with this one)
Ideas forum - a forum for people to discuss ideas for new blogrimages.
Notifications - allow users to be notified when new content becomes visible
Add Start and end date to blogrimage to import only relevant blogs.
