I'm testing my firest post with blogHUD (Looks interesting, but I'm concerned about how functional it really is)

What concerns you? It will evolve organically and as time permits ;) Lots more 'functionality' to come. ;) Happy HUDslinging!

1) expand the external blog functionality to include Drupal. This should be fairly simple since Drupal supports the blogger API. You just need to be able to specify a different API endpoint URL. 2) The ability to completely hide the blogHUD interface. Most of the time, I would like blogHUD running, but have no sign of it on my screen while it is running. 3) The ability to send posts to multiple external blogs would be nice, but I can understand why it doesn't work. 4) The whole interface has seemed a tad kludgy. Perhaps it is because of the lack of detailed documentation, complicated by serious lagginess while I was running it. (I'm assuming it was general SL lag, instead of blogHUD specific lag. 5) Enhanced abilities to capture different things that have been going on. I realize this might be too complicated to do in SL, but, as an example adding a command like /9 blogchathistory:10 and having the last 10 lines of chat history added as a blockquote in a blog would be very cool. Doing something similar for IM discussions, especially from a group, would be very nice. Adding information in the message line would be nice such as /9 type:event tags:"Live Music" I'm listening to one of my fave live music performers right now... I'm sure more ideas will come

Oh, and leaving line breaks in on long comments would probably help as well. ;-)
