I love it. Better, I showed my wife and she loved it too. One thing that I wanted while I was editing was a tag list (like you have on the About page, but right there on the edit page).

good idea. I'll look at putting it somewhere on the edit page

Why are you asking plain text password once I have logged in ? Its incredibly risky and scary.

Very cool idea, and nice site. I noticed that you are serving your own jquery. I've read that it's better to link to Google's host as it is more likely to be cached (and other reasons). Is this a conscious decision on your part, or is it just a part of the puzzle you haven't wrestled with yet? (Honest question- I don't know the right answer because I haven't wrestled with it yet.) Google jquery link:

One reason not to use CDN-hosted common scripts is to not share visitors statistics with the CDN. Believe it or not, but it is a valid concern for many businesses.

When it's cached, your browser won't make an HTTP request to the CDN. That's the entire point.

They can do some VERY ROUGH back of the envelope calculations to figure out based on cache-expiry headers and number of requests how many new people you are bringing to JQuery but not much else. Dan Kaminsky proved this earlier in his DNS/TTL cache sniffing tricks.

And by the time you are large enough to have an impact, your audience will be large enough for you to justify using your own JQuery hosted URL.

In short, USE THE CDN JQUERY. :-)

Everytime I edit a page it says "you must be logged in" .. (I believe I am logged in)

Reminds me of TidyPub, also featured on HN a few months back: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1952882

or like my own Write.fm - similar idea but some key differences (subdomains, markup, multiple pages etc). I like the idea of TidyPub though

I suppose I'm pretty immature, but when I saw the URL I immediately assumed it was a Web 2.0 porn site.

Same here.
