Ever have something you didn't want the whole world to see? There is now an admin panel for Blog*Spot Plus sites that will allow you to, among other things (soon), password-protect all or part of your site. Very handy for: business blogs, family blogs, subscription-based content...hmmm, what else?

Hey, we got something new! bSTATS, the newest creation from the lab, is the first web stats tracker designed specifically for blog publishers. It will tell you how many people are viewing your blog, where they're coming from, what they're driving, and even what they're looking at (ever want to know what your most popular posts are?). In real time. With no ugly graphics on your page. And guess what? It's free for Blog*Spot Plus users. And guess what else? It's not available to anyone else. Yet. Sorry. So, if you're on Blog*Spot, yet another reason to upgrade. If you're not...hold tight.

Attention Heartland bloggers! The 2002 Gnomedex conference is right around the corner in Des Moines, Iowa. Our own Evan Williams will be speaking at the conference on Saturday, August 24th. Ev is hoping for a high turnout from his home state of Nebraska (and, incidentally, will be staying with his mom in Des Moines)! The conference is just $99 but if you contact Lori Lockwood and mention you read about Gnomedex at Blogger.com she can give you a $10 discount. She also has the scoop on bulk rates. Ev hopes to see you there!
