Features at this Blog

Greetings to you,

Effort has been made to provide some of the basic features at this Blog. At the start these are available :

Email Address Book

• An email address book for entries to be made and stored for future reference. This is modified from what is commonly used as a Guest Book at Blogs. It still serves the intended purpose.

Yahoo Group

• A Yahoo Group button which links to this Blogs account with Yahoo Group. There are advantages in having this as the Blog's own features is not able to provide beyond what it already does. At Yahoo Group, most importantly, there is the Photo Album and File sections which allow items to be uploaded and stored for view sharing with others.

Email Subscription

• There is an email subscription to this Blog. This allows a person the option to have Posts and Comments at this Blog to be delivered to his email address.

Genealogy

• The Genealogy look up buttons are functional but at the present moment there is no data. There is still work to be done to provide the data on a feasible format. This is a work in progress.

More Readings

• Selected references for More Readings are included. This feature will continue to expand as and when.

About Avatars

Google's Blogger does not support Avatars for users at their Blog. This is unfortunate. Most Blog and Forum platforms are moving rapidly towards allowing users to select Avatars (miniaturised pictures as their mascot) as it enhances the social platform.

About Smiley Emoticons

Google's Blogger does not support Smiley Emoticons. I will need to hack into this Blog source code template to make that happen. I need a bit more time to work on that. Hopefully it will be feasible with the Blog author's template source code.

"Sticky" Posts

Just in case some may have wondered why the "sticky Posts" are bear a future date as in 01 January 2011. This is deliberate so that important Posts will remain permanently on top of the Post. That is the only way to make the Post stay in that position. The default is that all Posts are bumped to a lower position by an incoming new Post.

Thank You, and please enjoy.
