The tool itself is wonderful. I'd switch my blog from wordpress to it, if it had analytics, and I knew you'd be around a year from now. Minor thing on signup: Password: ancmthdnvu Password Strength: You're kidding, right? Password: 123456 Password Strength: Admirable

What did you mean by 'had analytics?' Google Analytics? If that's your issue, I think you could drop the code into the 'theme' & that'd do it.

Wordpress has web analytics built into the main blog dashboard. It's nice. I could drop code into a theme, but I kinda like the ease of use there.

one quick question, do you allow custom domain names?

The signup page offers to use OpenID, apparently in place of giving you an email address; then when I get back it still requires my email. It's not clear why I should have bothered to sign in with OpenID then.

I guess that if it come down to features, it's going to be difficult to beat old-timers off the bat.

You say that apart from that, you'd switch. Why? Just something else r anything particularly good about this?

We sure do. It's not yet a part of the sign-up process, but once you've created an account, you can add custom domain names.

What value do you have over your competitors, like Weebly and Freewebs?

After 5 mins of farting around - usability by a long shot.

A code-free experience is presumably for non-geeks, right?

Your signup form has a field called "hostname". Nitpicky, but... How many non-geeks have the vaguest idea wtf that means?

Heh, I've spent so much time working on that model that I didn't even realize that word was there. Thanks for pointing it out!

Can I ask a question? What led? Design or development?
