About settings here in Multiply

As much time as I can spare, I have been tinkering around on some links and buttons here in our host blogging site. I've tried the secret PIN way and cross-posting to my Blogger account. And so here are my thoughts on what areas Multiply could improve.

First, on using the secret PIN. The good thing here is that I can (clandestinely) post blog entries here by sending an e-mail message to myself using my Multiply PIN as my own recipient. So in places where Multiply is restricted, little do the network security guys know (maybe until now) that I can still do the blogging thing. The bad thing is that I cannot be informed when people are responding to those entries. So this is an area where Multiply can improve. The bottom-line is that I will still use this but only as an alternative measure when I will be restricted. Me posting this entry is a testament that I am composing this message within the Multiply site, as the over-restrictive and extremely meticulous network administrator, who is (ehem!) yours truly, in my house allows access to wholesome social sites save the underground ones.

Second, on using cross-posting feature with, at least, Blogger. I really like this feature so as whatever I'm typing here appears in my Blogger account (alvinvillaflores.blogspot.com). It makes me in sync with my other blogs. Of course, not all blog sites are supported yet. At the end of all things, I still will use this when I can, will continue to be vigilant on those sites that support cross-posting and will set up and configure new accounts there.

On areas that intersect between these features, I think Multiply has to find a way also to configure cross-posting via the secret PIN. As of this moment, I have yet to see this happen.

So that's all for now... I have to exhaust yet what else do I need to improve the blogger in me without discarding my other sides, especially on using whatever else I can for God's glory.



PS. Another improvement on cross-posting is that it should check also changes on edited blog entries. Those entries must be in sync when edited or corrected.
