Just added a new sidebar panel to the blog pages containing the obligatory "archive" links to collapse and expand blog post information by year and month. It seems to be in working order, but if you experience any difficulties or think it's not functioning properly please report here.

As requested by some members, the next additions to these charter member blogs may be to have a WYSIWYG editor available, specify your own title for it, and also maybe have a custom sidebar panel (a la channels) that you can play around with. Look for such features to appear in the coming weeks.

Side note: This is my absolutely very first blog post ever. I wish it were something a bit more spectacular, but this is the way the cookie crumbles. Of course, it is still a "dear diary" moment...
