More Features Than a Ford Model T

• Works with Ping.fm's Custom URL feature to collect blog entries, microblog entries, and status updates and post them to your blog.

• Status updates are posted to the sidebar and displayed with a widget. A standard template tag is also provided for those of you who are anti-widget.

• The sidebar widget is customizable with the number of status updates to show and an optional string to prepend all updates with (e.g. you might use your first name if all your status updates begin with a verb like mine do: Matt is...). Sensible CSS and examples are provided for you to customize the look and feel of your widget.

• Provides an RSS feed and permalinks for your pings so that you can share them with the rest of the world.

• Blog entries and microblog entries can have certain metadata applied to them automatically. You can set the author, category, tags, and post status (published or draft) for all incoming pings.

• Your blog is safe from updates by random outsiders thanks to a highly random and highly secure authentication token that only you know.

• All the cool features of Ping.fm: post to your self-hosted WordPress blog using SMS, IM, email, desktop gadgets, mobile apps, etc.
