After weeks of toiling and nailing bugs, we are getting real close to bringing out a stable version of MyBlog - stable meaning all major bugs exterminated. MyBlog 0.9 Build 2 addresses a lot of the issues of not being able to save a blog entry in the Dashboard, and should be a fix for most, if not all, users.
Our next step would be to release the Pro version of MyBlog, which would have the 'Powered by...' footer removed, as well as a few additional MyBlog templates to choose from. In the process we will also be looking into feature additions for both the standard and pro versions of MyBlog.
Someone did mention the trackback does not work, so I'll try trackbacking to one entry on this site and see if it works.

I was shocked! AkoComment.com was bought by someone and they put a big Jom Comment product image and link back to us, with NO affiliates link!
Although it is a big compliment that someone has taken the trouble to spend a few bucks and some of their time doing this, I am extremely disturbed since it gives the impression that we are the one who did this on purpose.
So, for the record, neither me, my company, our staff, nor any living souls that I know purchased/own akocomment.com domain. Heck, I don't even own jomcomment.com ! (ok, now, maybe I should do that fast!)
This blog should show up on the technorati site, together with their tags.
Edit: Sweet, blog post appeared at Technorati

Starting from Jom Comment 1.8, we will be using a completely new template system. It is a super-fast, super efficient PHP-based template system. It doesn't do the typical 'search and replace' which most template does.
On top of that, we also have a new caching system in place. We no longer have to rebuild the comment area at every page load. Of course, if you are already using Joomla built-in caching system, your content (along with Jom Comment) are already cached in anyway.
I run some benchmark and building Jom Comment page now takes between 0.002 to 0. 005 seconds compared to non-cached time of 0.10 to o.15 seconds! That's 75x performance increase.
Anyway, as I said before, if your site already have Joomla caching turned on, this doesn't really mean much to you.

We have been experiencing some serious issues with our apache server. It keeps on dying and I have to bring it back every few hours or so. I am not an apache god, so this is a real problem. After a little digging, I found that our server have been chewing too much memory, with almost no free memory left. This all started with the release of our new products, Nice Talk and My Blog.
A quick check on server stat revealed that our site visitor has almost quadruple over the last few days. That is wonderful. But, I'd imagine that there are a lot of frustrated souls out there, those who hit a blank page on our website. You must be thinking that we're some dodgy "vapourware" developer. No, we are not!, and rest assured, our journey and partnership with Joomla! has just begun... and you will see lots of wonderful stuff from us in the future.
Anyway, I've made some changes to our apache setting and add some more RAM. That should take care of it for now. If you had some issues downloading our stuff before this, please try again now.
