[AN-net]

some of your suggestions will be reserved more for version two then this version necessarily. i am currently not looking at giving individual users access to creating their templates. my current solution to opening up more control in version 2 will be to create a layout system from which the individual user can customize by setting provided color fields etc.

My reponse to some of your suggestions, others feedback is encouraged.

the boxes dont look good it gives a forum look and these are blogs.

can you elaborate more and provide some examples.

Explain this ting about sitting on the side. version 2+ i am considering a categorical system for which entries can be placed.

I am not sure about this, will think on it. Some feedback from others about this would be great.

I like this suggestion, I will incorporate this as an option in Beta 4's JCP.

Sorry I don't understand. Elaborate and provide examples.

I placed mine there... if you want i can give that as an addition Im not a php pro so I wish I could have it work by x distance place x banners... because 1 small post the banner looks good but 2 large posts and the banner disapears because its miles behind uptop the page. (that slidding javascript/dhtml sucks dont do it)

Reserved for Version 2+

That way if I could care less that you have a blog I will remove it. (sadly this would work best if it was part of the vbfriends hack. reason if I have you as a buddy and you have me as a buddy then send the pm. One way could start spam)

11. last have it inform users that they got a new comment.

To solve this I plan a subscription system for version 2+

I will try to implement this in Beta 4.
