Note: the philosophy of Bloo is to keep the base product relatively straightforward, and provide added functionality in the form of self-contained Extension SnapOns

Here is a list of the current Bloo featureset:

• Role-based security at the object level (in other words, security is pervasive)
• Those with posting privileges can create and edit posts.
• Static pages can also be created
  
• Readers can comment on posts
• Posts can receive trackbacks
• Trackbacks can be sent to other blogs.
  
• Comments and trackbacks can be turned off or on at a post level or at the blog level.
  
• Comment and trackback moderation, spam and troll destruction, etc.
  
• Administrators have full control over the look and feel of the blog, via the overlay editor. All visual element templates can be edited on the fly, with a non-destructive edit.
• Themes control the look and feel. Administrators can create themes on the fly, cascade themes from other themes, and select the default theme.
  
• Optional theme-selector for blog readers to pick their favorite theme
• Supports time zones. Dates are stored internally at GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and translated on display to the blog's time zone.
  
• Supports a Blogroll (or "Bloogroll" as we like to call it).
• Configurable blogroll categories.
• Multiple Spam Control Extension SnapOns
  
• Multiple users
• Multiple post categories per post.
  
• Post keyword searches
• Easy to use installation and upgrade programs
• All input and output components of the system are XML-based and separate from the code
• New functionality can be added via Bloo Extension SnapOns
