Those of you who follow PixyBlog closely will know who Sven, of from10to300mm fame, is. He's not only an awesome photographer (checkout his photoblog), but also a prolific poster in our discussion forum and one of the most active members of our community... especially when it comes to customizing his photoblog. It seems whatever we develop here at PixyBlog, Sven will find a use for it.

Text Blog

Most recently Sven is beta-testing a text blog version of our photoblog system which is now integrated into his site. This is a feature that we've been working on for a while now, and which this very news blog is powered by. This came about after a post in our discussion forum, so lookout for some more information about this in the coming months.

PixyBlog Badge & Twitter

If you wonder-over to Sven's blog you will also note that his sidebar contains the most recent images from his photoblog. This is made possible by our PixyBlog Badge feature which allows any PixyBlogger to easily insert the most recent photos from their photoblog into another website.

You may also note the inclusion of his Twitter log and other related information, this is made possible by FriendFeed which, like the PixyBlog Badge, allows you to insert information from your other web services into a website.

There are many other such online services where you can include information from one service, into another. Just to mention a couple; there is the Flickr Badge and your del.icio.us bookmarks.

Forum Moderator

So given the amount of work and effort Sven has put-in to the PixyBlog community, last week we approached him to ask if he would be interested in being even more involved than he already is. To start with, Sven is now the first moderator on our discussion forum and beta-tester for new developments at PixyBlog

So a very big thank you and kudos to Mr Sven Seebeck!

Thanks from the PixyBlog team

I had noticed the badge floating around in the forums so I added it to my own intro page a while back (http://www.thomasbouve.com). Quite nifty stuff!

Great Thomas. I wasn't aware of your thomasbouve.com site... just your n00.be site. It looks great.

It's a dutch language blog I've setup, but seeing as how pixy has an option to add pure blog posts too, I'm considering a migration. How does Pixy cope with multilanguage setups?

Hey Thomas; multi-language support for our text blogs is the same as for our photoblogs. Go to "Preferences > Settings > I publish my blog in multiple languages" and then for each entry you can specify the language... have a go.

Oh dang, that's cool. Didn't even notice that. Time to try that one out!

Thanks a lot Richard. I feel honestly honored and flattered. It's a pleasure to have my sites here and being part of the Pixyblog community. There are so many possibilities here. Just awesome.
