Today I decided to remove the ability to create new accounts on Scribbles. The reality is, is that it gets a lot of spam sign ups — and that just totally isn't great for me. It's mostly from gmail...

🐛 Fixed an issue that would not correctly clear the RSS feed cache when publishing posts within the space of 1 hour. Sorry about this. Feeds should start updating normally after publishing a post now.

✅ Looks like issues with Cloudflare have been resolved. Today has been out of my control and I apologise for any downtime — the services remained up, but were not reachable because of the layer...

🚨 There is currently a massive outage with Cloudflare that is causing a lot of services to be offline, including Scribbles. Monitoring. Blogs on a custom domain should not be affected by this.

🎨 Tweaked and fixed a layout issue with the overflow menu on the new text editor. Should flow nicer now on smaller screens.

You can now test the new editor that will eventually replace the current one. The current editor uses Trix underneath, which is basically built-in with the framework Scribbles is built on. As the...

🐛 Fixed some edge cases with the way your page content was rendered depending on the order of text, images, and other markup.

• ✨ You can now create a "simple menu" on your blog that basically creates an un-styled version of the menu to keep it... simple. Separated by a • for each item. Thank you to Nicola's site for the...

• 🔎 Added the ability to search blog settings. Still basic for now, but works a treat because I never know where things are (kidding)!

• 💬 Added a new send a scribble feature. • 🎨 You can choose and select the new default theme (v2) in your blog appearance settings. There is more for me to do here. This is now the default theme...

Last weekend I had a small itch I wanted to scratch. Ever since launching there was a demand for comments. I was very resistant to that, and still am. That's why from the very start I supported...

💬 Launched something new... maybe you'll notice... maybe not... I will announce it during the week 😋 And actually a whole lot of other tweaks during the last few days...

🎨 I'm testing a new default theme and you can see it live on this update blog. It's inspired by the explore page. Not everything is yet working. I am planning to add the ability for you to switch...

✨ You can now feature the latest post, from any category (including multiple of), on the homepage and footer area. Just go to your category in question and select the option to show it. The footer...

• 👾 When fetching posts from the API and the post has attachments, it will now also return a small 500px * 500px (keeping correct dimensions of course) thumbnail.

• 😃 I brought back the Explore section, and you can get to it from the main menu. There is more I want to do here and at the moment it is not possible to add any more blogs or opt-in via settings...

• 🐛 Fixed an issue that would redirect a post to the homepage — sorry about that, was a temporary mistake from today.

Today I went through most blogs by hand, due to an ongoing spam issue on certain blogs. I have flagged these accounts and if yours has been affected, please just email me and I'll see what I can...

• ✨ In addition to an ATOM feed for your blog, you can also now share a JSON feed. Here is ours. Sometimes feed fetchers look for a JSON feed, so this now just works without issue. By default we...

Today I made Scribbles invite only, so when you register I ask that you please email me and then I'll go ahead and invite you. The funny thing is, is that this is how it all started with Scribbles...
