Blogging just keeps getting better

Loghound has released a new beta of RapidBlog, which we use for our blog here at elixir. This plug-in is just outstanding. Head on over to the RapidBlog Change Log page and get your free update now. Here are a few of the additions, per the Change Log page:

• Localized Dates. You can now provide a 'translation' dictionary to localize the dates as you like. Even if you speak English this could be fun (e.g. rename "Wednesday" to "Humpday") See the setup menu
• "Header", "Footer" and "Interblog" text is now available
• RSS Feed now identifies itself properly, you can add it as a feed in safari
• More descriptive error messages
• GUI redesign to get rid of useless boxes, should be more clean.
• Archive's will not (mostly) skip months with no posts
• You can now select archives to view 'Earliest First' or 'Oldest First'
• The RSS Feed has an experimental new feature to support Simile Timelines,
• Lots of various little internal Fixes & Tweaks.

One of our favorite new features are the header and footers as well as the ability to place items between blog posts intermittently with the InterBlog feature. The new cleaned up look of the plug-in is very nice as well.
