I have now set up blogs for friendly urls! So now you can go to your control panel, enable it in "your blog settings" and select any name to have in your url to your blog. For example mine is www.gottalk.com/blog/jason

Yours will be the same except obviously for the "jason" part. This way if you do start doing blogs and want to link to them, it is aan easy link, not some strange one like now.

OTHER FEATUREES:

• large thumbnails in entries if you have permission to do them (later on).
  
• trackbacks and trackback pings (not 100% sure yet, I think kind of like marking an entry you want to go back to later).
  
• drag and drop content blocks. (calendar, active users in blog, etc are called content blocks. You may click and hold down on them and drag them to where you want them on your page.)
  
• Choose which content blocks go on your page plus create custom ones.
  
• once allowed, you can do different skins on them.
  
• change viewmodes.
  
• Make private blogs if allowed and make a "club" where only people in it can read your blogs.
  
• make categories. ex:school, work, gymnastics... then put entries in whichever category they apply to.
  
• make polls in your entries (if allowed).
  
• allow others to post in your blogs (be editors). Why? I dont know. Maybe someone would want it. lol
  

I also just set up "dynamic headers". Makes you have your own top banner with your name and description. I dont think you can do much with it other than if you change your blog name and description in your blog settings in control panel then it changes it on your header.

I can make those different colors, text colors, font sizes, shadow color.

cool...
