New Features

Written by: Luigi Montanez on Nov 13, 2006 10:48 PM EST

It's been two weeks since the new Blog for America launched, and despite some growing pains, things have gone quite well. First off, I want to thank all of you who have helped each other adjust to the new site. It's very much appreciated.

Here's what's new:

• Favorites - Posts from your buddies and groups on DFA-Link are automatically added as your favorites. You can remove any favorites you don't like, and as you browse BFA, you'll be able to add new favorites.
• Recommendations - You can recommend posts you like. Recommendations are the main metric for a post getting into the "What's Popular" section.
• Persistent Login - No more logging in every time you visit. BFA will remember you for a week.

As always, please report any bugs with details on what you were trying to do, and what your operating system/web browser is.

Coming up, the commenting system is going to get some upgrades. Be on the lookout for a new style of threaded conversation that really flies.
