Blog*Spot.com is run by Pyra, it's obviously not done yet, but it looks like it'll be an easy-to-setup microhost for blogs, complete with templates.

On a semi-related note, is anyone using WrapZap as an ASP for forms on their blog? Seems like integrating that with Blogger would be a nice little bit of advanced functionality for Blogger Pro.

Oh, and can we preemptively skip the hand-wringing over the banner ads on Blog*Spot?

So what's this Pyra e-mail newsletter, and will it ever be used? It seems I hear every bit of news about Blogger/Pyra through Meatfilter. And there's been plenty of news to send out a circular.

why is it in a foreign language (german?)?

That's dummy latin starduck. Just a place holder so you know what the page will look like with text. For shits and giggles do a search for Lorem ipsum dolor at google or AltaVista.

Yeah, dummy latin known in the trade as "greeking". Bizarre. But that's why Carl's column on writing for websites is entitled Lorum Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet.

that WrapZap seems kind of cool, but who exactly needs it, and for what? I think a dumbed-down version would be great for the blogger-but-no-html types, but why would a serious developer use it?

Aw, ACCESS IS DENIED. Not ready for prime time?

I just wanna know, does Enterprise Blogger offer four-processor support? And a shuttlecraft?

The post on evhead earlier today (which was meant for the internal Pyra blog) seem to reveal that the Pyra team are working hard on numerous new projects/features. The post hinted at imminent releases! I'm excited.

Then again, maybe the "accidental" post was just a ruse to get people talking. ;)

Well, Ev as bleary as you looked on your webcam this morning I'm going with serendipitous accident. You just don't strike me as the conniving sort (Dave Winer's ranting aside- sheesh!), especially at that time of night.

I heard that Blogger Datacenter Server would solve all my blogging needs. Blog-clustering supporting up to 256 nodes and 4 terabytes of entries. Wow!

Wow, an entire Blogger-related thread and not a peep out of efader about "built to flip"? Must be chilly in hell right now.

I wonder why no one has mentioned this other pyra flub? Matt's said too much already...

It's BlogTrek! Web Apps, the Final Frontier? And I'd heard rumors Derek didn't leave to write a book, he just stepped into the Quantum Blog generator... and disappeared! Now, does anybody have a tool that can scour the whois directory for all the registered domain names containing the letters "b-l-o-g", so we can get a hint of pyra's other 147 projects? And as long as I'm asking pyra-related questions, do you have to commit to attend fray day 4 to get invited to mathowie's bachelor party? (beans spilled by the the bradlander)

No, you merely have to commit to hiring the stripper. While you might suspect I am lacking in appropriate expertise in this area, I assure you that I am not. I am merely unfamiliar with the local...er, talent.

I would like the record to reflect that, in making a reference to a stripper for Mathowie's impromptu bachelor party, I did not use the phrase "built to flip." Thank you, and goodnight.

Now, does anybody have a tool that can scour the whois directory for all the registered domain names containing the letters "b-l-o-g", so we can get a hint of pyra's other 147 projects? How about Domain Surfer? There are 593 matches for "blog". Most of them unrelated happenstance combinations of "log" with a word ending in 'b', but it's a start!

Although, interesting to note that Pyra receive some of the now-redundant servers from Deepleap (?!)
