All communities now have an RSS feed to them; you can find out where your community feed is by scrolling to the last line in each "Community Info" page.

They can also be located by going to the URL: http://xml.tabulets.com/community/COMMUNITY_NAME.rss (COMMUNITY_NAME will be the name of your community, all in lowercase letters).

We are also testing out a new feature ... we'll gauge feedback and pull/expand this feature. If you have enabled community-rolling in your template, you'll notice a bold link "My Community" at the bottom of your communities. This takes you to a page that lists all entries posted to all communities that you are a member of; we originally were going to tie this into your "friends" page but decided it would be better to keep it separate (friends page would be for your friends entries, while communities would help you keep track of similar interests). You can also simply access this page by typing in "mycommunity.html" off your main URL (http://www.tabulas.com/~tabulas/mycommunity.html is an example).

There were a few fixes in the community section, most notably the ability to "reenable" users you denied/kicked out of a community. There used to be no way to let them back in; now you can use the "Verify" screen to let them back in.

I tried to edit the template for my shared journal, but it said.."Table 'tabulas.blogring_styles' doesn't exist" when I went to the style page. What should I do?

Oops. I should fix that ... but there are no edit templating features right now (I had to turn off that feature while working on new features).

I live in the Philippines and I'm interested in paying for the upkeep of my blog. I see that your features are worth my dollar but my country doesn't seem to be on the list at Paypal. Also, would y'all know what the sitch would be if I got a credit card and I decided to pay Tabulas from here in my country? I mean, could I be charged the equivalent of the dollar amount in Philippine pesos? Please answer ASAP.

Hey, thanks for your interest in helping to support Tabulas =)

The other person who paid from the Phillipines sent the payment via Western Union (a money order) in US dollars; I'm sure a Western Union store can help you with conversion ...

We currently don't accept any other methods except PayPal and money order via snailmail :/

What do you mean it "doesn't work?" You haven't gone to the Tagboard section and selected "Enable Tagboard"

I've noticed that tabulas is slowly becoming, well, to put it frankly, broke. I went to the login page and was greeted by a popup. Could there not be some possibilty of putting a small, positionable logo and link on everybody's blog? With the amount of users, and users' friends who read the blogs, that may work out. It's just where do you seek sponsorship?

There are no pop-ups on Tabulas. You have spyware on your computer.

I'll clear that up, then.

thanks for your time.

Well, I'm not seeing that you're following the instructions; you've gotten as far as to generate a template, but you haven't input the code to have the background generated... follow the instructions word for word and then come back ...

But you can't review your comment in the feedback box if you're posting on someone's else tabulas. You can't even see your own comments in the feedback box now for that matter.

And besides, because we can't edit it, we have to completely delete it just to fix up problems that we didn't realize were there because we couldn't preview it.

I see you added something about not allowing us to edit comments. Personally, I'd prefer if that was left as an option to the individual user, but... if not, how 'bout a preview option? Both for comments as well as for entries.

The preview option is so much work :/ I just rather let people review their comment in the feedback box instead :/
