Started taking Blogware out for a little tour. First order of business, if I want to try this in a serious way is to domicile this blog at www.davidakin.com. Right now, as you can see, this thing is sitting at davidakin.blogware.com and I want the URL to be davidakin.com/weblog/index.htm — which, incidentally, is where you'll find my regular Blogger-powered blog.
Can't seem to intuitively navigate my way through the various Blogware controls to find a way to do that. I may not find a way to do that, as this is the pre-alpha preview release. Ross has helpfully provided us guinea pigs with a link for some help. But the scripts on that Help page don't run in Apple's Safari and the cause IE for Mac OS X to crash. The scripts work fine in IE on my Win98 machine.
Anyhow, nothing in the still evolving help manual about changing the blog's URL.
Still — managed to change some of the display attributes for this blog. The style you're looking at is “Minimalist Red”.
The feature set is awfully powerful, though, here — much more robust than some of the other Web-based blog tools and without all the complicated server-side stuff you get with something completely flexible like Moveable Type. Love the fact that I can syndicate here right off the bat.
One more thing I'm going to suggest to Ross — Can I control the number of words that are excerpted with the auto-excerpt tool?
