Hey folks. Life’s been a little crazy and I haven’t had time to respond on here like I usually do. There’s a couple of things I want to mention really quick. Please verify your email address ...

Well friends, It’s been an interesting internet ride on the prose box thus far (I’d stick in a picture here, but just imagine one of those ugly cube-shaped cars). As the year comes to an end, I ...

---

Happy holidays! I don’t have as much time these days to work on site enhancements, but I would like to do a few things before I forget how the site works (there’s like some code and black magic a...

---

Oh man, it has been one crazy week. I need a week dedicated solely to napping. Between being swamped at work and being a bit under the weather, I have not got around to writing the glorious ent...

---

OK, so someone pointed out that the comment notification system isn’t quite as awesome as it could be, since it doesn’t notify people within the comment thread that there’s a comment below them, ...

---

A popular request was to add replies to other people in a user’s entry as part of the comment listing. That update has been added! So you will now see ALL comments left on your entries, not just...

---

I’ve had a few requests for this and thought it would be a nice thing to add. It’s totally optional. There’s now an Edit My Profile button on your profile page. You can add the following: Gen...

---

I’m pretty happy with the core features of the site at this point. Having those in place will let me focus on other areas of the site. I think search and discoverability are the big things I wan...

---

Yeah, it’s a big update. You now have the ability to change the privacy level of an individual entry! Basically, how it works (or how it’s supposed to work anyway) is that when you write a new e...

---

Prosebox’s cloud hosting provider was having some networking problems earlier, but they appear to be resolved now. Everything should be cool and groovy again.

---

Have you ever wanted to see all of your entries in one central place on Prosebox? Well, now you can! I reorganized the profile pages a bit, and added an entry listing very similar to what you’re...

---

By the time you read this entry, you will most likely know about the new Terms of Service and have agreed to them. It’s been on my to-do list for forever and has not been one of my favorite thin...

---

OK, haven’t had any entry formatting complaints, so I’m assuming all is well. So I’ll quickly mention a few new things that got added into the mix. I will try to order these from simple to adva...

---

I’ve had a few people reporting 404 errors when trying to preview or save an entry. There seems to be a problem with the new Markdown parser I added recently. When it breaks, it breaks in drama...

---

I've been wanting to add this feature forever anyway. I mean, really, if there's anyone on this site that needs the ability to reply from the Comments Inbox, it's ME. So I will really enjoy thi...

---

I’m glad summer is coming to an end. I don’t really like summer. Maybe because I live in a desert. But I do like this: I know Prosebox is mostly perfect now, but if you have any suggestions, w...

---

Let me just say that I believe this latest update will be awesome1. It should enhance and fix the current Markdown2 formatting. I think I've found a better tool for converting Markdown, so add-on...

---

OK, so I just wrote an entry about "jeremy wade shirtless" being one of the top search terms for Prosebox. I wrote the entry because it's funny, but it has led to some interesting comments that ...

---

You will notice a new "Comments closed" option when editing entries. This will prevent anyone from adding new comments to your entry. So you can: Write a new entry and check that box immediat...

---

WOOT! So I added this cool feature that a few people wanted that allows you to revise (I use the word revised since I'm already tracking Last Updated) your entries, and mark them as revisions so...

---

There's been several requests for this one and it was reasonably easy to implement, so I did it. Now, if you click on an entry, start reading, then realize you need to come back to it later, jus...

---

Because, ya know, you want stuff and such.

---

Granted, it's pretty rudimentary at this point. The export feature will export an entire book to a text file, dumping out all of the published entries in chronological order. It gets sent to a ...

---

And assuming all went according to plan, our database server is no longer on the same box as our web server! (this is a good thing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-0TEJMJOhk

---

First of all, on a personal note, thanks for all your wonderful comments to me. There are way too many to try to respond to individually, so here's a group hug. You may or may not have noticed ...
