The folks at FotoFlix just wrote in to let us know that they've added Blogger support to their photo-sharing site.

"We are very excited to offer this service and Blogger is the first blogging site which we are supporting directly using an API... We are anticipating for it to be well received due to it's uniqueness and simplicity."

It's great to see innovative new Atom API uses from the web community!

The recent release of Firefox version 1.0.3 had some security fixes that broke parts of the start.com framework.  We've identified the issues and have added workarounds to bring it back in line.  Thanks to our chief javascript and DHTML wrangler Scott Isaacs for making it all good again!

Another webapp/blogging API with which to tinker: Textamerica Developer API

We have corrected several translation issues with the Portuguese version of Bloglines. We are also in the process of reviewing the other languages and will be rolling out improved versions of those over the next couple of weeks. We're always looking for ways to improve the service; if you see any issues with our localized versions, please contact customer support and let us know.

Scott Andrew is blogging all about AJAX and JavaScript at The Strange Zen of JavaScript. Just added it to the blogroll...

Bloglines Helps Bridge The Vastness Of Space

News Feed and Blog Reading In The Warrior Tongue

Oakland, CA, Earth -- Stardate: 2005.4.1 -- Bloglines, the world's most popular free online service for searching, subscribing, publishing and sharing news feeds, blogs and rich web content, today opened the doors of its service to audiences beyond our solar system with a new translation in Klingon, the galaxy's fastest-spreading invented language.

"The custom of sharing grand stories of conquest and battle has a long standing history among the Klingon people," said Mark Fletcher, founder of Bloglines. "Blogging is simply an easy way to continue the tradition while stuck in deep space, away from your family. We feel that presenting Bloglines in the Warrior Tongue was long overdue."

Klingon marks the eighth language translation for Bloglines, joining Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. To navigate Bloglines in Klingon, simply select the language from the menu on the left hand side of the Bloglines home page. To find out more about the Klingon language, visit http://www.kli.org/ or check with your local Klingon embassy. Qapla'!
