Many of you are very excited about the
Recent Posts Widget and the Recent Comments Widget, but you would like
to have it in your own language.
So on my new Beautiful Beta Wiki I started a new project to assemble as many language versions of these widgets as possible. Take a look here
to find the language versions that are available so far: English,
French, Spanish and Dutch (Portugese will follow soon I hope).
So here is my challenge to you: translate the widget in as many languages as possible!

Recent Posts Widget Improved
One of the most annoying things of the
Blogger Post Feed was that it is sorted by date of post-update. As a
consequence, old posts that were updated appeared on the feed as if they
were new. Very annoying if the alteration is just a minor one, for
example repairing a broken link, or correcting a small mistake.
Well, this problem (if we may call it a problem) has been solved now by Blogger. You can have your post feed sorted by Published date, or by Updated date.
If you have the Recent Posts Widget installed to your Blog, there is a slight modification in the code you have to make. Edit the Page Element, and change the code like this:
Notice the orderby-parameter: there are 2 possible values: published and updated. Omitting the parameter is the same as updated.
The Recent Posts Widget Installer has been improved, and now supports the orderby-parameter.

Beautiful Beta Wiki Launched Today
Today I can proudly announce the release of the Beautiful Beta Wiki!
Anyone who is interested to contribute to building a strong Blogger community, and wants to share knowledge and ideas, is welcome to apply for membership of the Wiki.
The Wiki has a Knowledge Base (that will be filled the coming weeks with Beautiful Beta stuff and - hopefully - your contributions as well) and a Forum. On the Forum you can post your questions, and that will be much more easy for me to answer than the per-post comments, that are not really easy to follow and to answer.
And on the Forum, you all can help eachother to improve your Blogs.
And ofcourse, I hope that the Wiki will be just as clear and nice and helpfull to you as this Blog has been so far!

What's Up Here
It has been very quiet on this Blog for
the last month. I have been very busy with my daytime job, and besides
that, lots of activities in the family life.
On the Web-front, my activities have been focused on Google Maps, and I built a great application to map my families travels to and through the United States next summer.
And ofcourse my curiousity has wandered around the web, where I discovered the great power of Wiki's. And I noticed the great potential of Wiki's in supporting you, my readers, in finding usefull tips and tricks, and sharing knowledge about Blogger. You see, more than 400 people are now subscribed to the feeds of this Blog. Isn't that what we call a Webcommunity?
So I started to build a Beautiful Beta Wiki, that will contain a Knowledge Base that is ripped from the Weblog, and a Forum where you can post questions, and help other people to improve their Blogs. And this Wiki will be open to you all, so that you can make contributions to the Knowledge Base and the Forum.
So let me know if you like to participate in this Beautiful Beta Wiki, and I will give you notice as soon as it is released.
