Out of the Bloo has just been upgraded to Bloo v 0.11. The following new features are included in this release:
- Weblogs Pinging (I think – guess I’ll know for sure if posting this post pings Weblogs 🙂 Update: Doesn’t look like the ping took. Does anyone besides me find Weblogs ping service irritating? I’m going to start pinging a few more sites (technorati, blogrolling) to see if I have better luck there). Update II: Actually, the ping does “take” – it “takes” forever (ha ha) for weblogs to recognize it 🙂 – but it is happening. I’m going to switch over to rpc.pingomatic.com at Andy’s advice – should be ready in version 0.13
- A “View Recent Commentary” link
- Monthly Archives (in the right sidebar)
- Display of the comment author URL when displaying comments
- Improvements internally in the object structure
- Comments flooding protection
- Tag balancing
- Some security improvements
- Some formatting improvements
The development on Bloo still continues to “flow” quite nicely. I always know when I’ve hit the groove – attained “Nerdvana” you might say – when anything new I want to do to my basic software framework flows with that framework and is implemented as unobtrusively as possible. The monthly archives “SnapOn” for instance (in the right sidebar) – took me about 20 minutes. Very simple (and it works).
Bloo is not yet ready for public domain, but hopefully in a few more releases it will be.
Watch me for the changes . . .
Try using one pinging service to do the pinging for you.
Hit http://rpc.pingomatic.com/ and it’ll do the rest.
Peace,
Andy
Thanks Andy!
I’ve looked at that one before, but the site was down (or had some other problem) the day I was experimenting with it.
I’ll give it another go – thanks again
I just wanted to say i like your site and the quote at the top of the page… i immediatly recognized it as being from Back to the Future… nice. 🙂 You can thank Jen and Jen Speaks for me finding your site.
Thanks Chad – welcome!
I was hoping someone would “get” the tagline 🙂
Whoa, that’s heavy…
It’s a decent service, and yes, it has its days. Though, were I programmer, I would send the PING and not wait for the OK from every single service, as my installation of WordPress seems to do.
Let me know how it works.

I got it; I was just wondering why you didn’t add, “…And try to keep up.” 😉
I didn’t want to sound cocky 🙂
