Do you have any plans to support Google Drive or other cloud services?

Given the amount of free-of-charge choices, I really fail to see why someone would want to pay anything more than a domain-name for a blog, professional or otherwise.

But that's just me.

Is the pricing for a single site, or does it allow for multiple sites?

Are MultiMarkdown features (linking to internal sections, footnotes, definition lists, etc) available?

The pricing is currently for a single site. No support for multiple sites as of this moment.

And not yet, I'll have to look into MultiMarkdown. Those features sound like a good idea.

Looks cool! Simple to say the least, which is not easy to do!

But I'm worried about something. The credit card input on the payment page shows a lock even though the form is NOT submitted over HTTPS... that makes it look like you're blatantly lying to your customers. Am I missing something?

EDIT: I was missing something. While the HN post links to the HTTPS version, I somehow ended up on a non HTTPS version of the site at some point. Which seems to allow sending CC information over a non encrypted form.

Ah shoot, good catch. That page shouldn't be accessible over HTTP. Will push a fix to force a redirect to HTTPS.
