Trying out the new Friendster Blogs

I recently gave the new Friendster Blogs a test drive here in DLSU-CSB during the Wordcamp Philippines 2008 conference, and so far, I'm really impressed. There's a lot of clean-looking themes, and the functionality of blogging has really gone a long way since I started writing blogs in Advogato way back in 2002 (yeah I know I'm a dinosaur in the blogging world - back then we didn't call blogs as blogs, but as journals). 

My only wish though is that Friendster would allow me to import all my journal... err blog entries in Advogato that I started in July 2002. The RSS feed for Advogato only has the 10 most recent entries. I recently found that there's a WordPress plugin for importing Advogato entries, but as of now, Friendster does not allow plugin installation. It's one thing I understand - being a former information security practitioner in a past life tells me that allowing random third-party code in your site is generally a BAD IDEA.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
