I modified the Lifetype install slightly to enable self-registration for Oneonta domain users. Students, faculty, and staff can now login, check their account status, and create their own blogs from the registration page. We allow up to 5 blogs per account.

LifeType recently added a feature that allows you to manage the display order or your articles. If you happen to go in and edit one of your blog settings (Like I just did) you may accedentially trigger this feature. When this happens you will see your first post to your blog listed at the top or your posts display. To set it back go into your blog settings (Control Centre -> Blog Settings) and change Articles order to "Newest First".

I've updated LifeType to the newest code and it seems to be working great. There are a few new additions to the software that I think are very nice.
The full list is here but the nicest addition so far is the built in mp3 player. You can now upload and link mp3 files to your albums and have them play right on your blog page. Sweet!
Example: This is track 2 of the Sept 14, 2006 Widespread Panic show
I used this because it is a pretty big file (9.6MB) and it seems to work nice.
I modified the RSS pages to display a friendlier RSS screen with a stylesheet I grabbed from the web. I think it is a nice change and I hope to do more in this regard. Maybe the podcasts feed too. Check it out by clicking the RSS 2.0 links on any of the pages.
