After putting in over a year’s worth of work — research,
designing,
programming, testing and collecting feedback — we are proud to
announce the official release of Blogware version 1.0!
Blogware is our dream weblogging tool, the answer to a
question we
asked ourselves: “If we could make our ideal weblog software, what
would it be like?” The end result is a tool that we not only build, but
use every day in both our professional capacities and for personal
blogging.
Blogware has many features,
including:
- A WYSIWYG (What You See Is What
You Get) editor built into its web interface - A
built-in comments system that can notify you and your readers via email
whenecver a new comment is posted to a specific
entry - An advanced photo album system that allows
you to bulk upload photos as zip files and can resize them as it
imports - A category system that allows your to post
your articles under one or more categories - A reader
sign-on system that lets you assign reader permissions for specific
categories - A
built-in filesystem that can be used for storing files that can be
included in your articles, for plain HTML pages, or even just as a
place to back up or share your files - Moblogging —
you can post articles or photos via email-enabled handheld devices such
as PDAs or cell phones - All kinds of options for customizing the look and feel of
your weblog, including a layout manager that makes designing you blog’s layout as simple and dragging and dropping.
…and we’re not done yet. We’re constantly collecting
feedback and improving Blogware.
Blogware is available through a number of resellers, each
offering
their own pricing plan and support package. If you’d like to find out
more, see this

Boss Ross, who’s been running the
Blogware project since its inception last February, sends out
thank-yous in his latest blog entry, and points to a more official-sounding news release about Blogware 1.0 in Yahoo! Finance.
