Content

There is no font, emoticon editing, or image support in the comment box, however it does accept most HTML as entered (although this is not noted anywhere on the site). Commentors can optionally supply their name, email address, and URL, and can opt to have the information saved. The blog owner does not have the option to make any of this required information.
Management
6.0
An account is not required to put on a comment, and there is optional SPAM protection. The blog owner has the ability to both edit and delete comments. The comment box is on the same page as the post, so that you can reference the post while commenting. There is no option to block specific users or for commentors to rate the post.

One can have multiple photo albums for the categorisation of pictures. Storage is included in the overall 10MB alloted to the account. Each picture can reside in only one photo album, and each album can be both renamed and deleted. There are also rotatate/scale features built in.
Syndication (6.0)
Syndication exists as both RSS 1.0 and Atom 0.3. The feeds are well-formed. Post are syndicated excerpt-only, and comments can optionally be syndicated by email to the blog owener, but to no one else.
Look And Feel (2.8)
General
4.5
The background colour of the pages and the sidebar is themeable, but not fully customisable. The image used in the header can be chosen from those available with the theme, or optionally a custom image may be uploaded. The header, sidebar, and page fonts come with the theme and cannot be changed beyond that. The date format on posts can be changed to suit international tastes. Custom borders cannot be set on elements and there is not option to include custom CSS in the pages.
Special
1.0
Comments on posts are never separated into multiple pages for viewing. You cannot rename any page elements, nor can the page be resized. There is no support for music.
