as i mentioned in a post in my weblog, some things just don't fit into the structure provided by antville. take for example people i would like to integrate into my weblog. they are neither "topical" nor "stories" (maybe there is a story attached to them and/or they fit into a specific topic, but i consider them different to those two).

the way vanilla handles those occurences (defining them as instances in your "space") seems quite appropiate to me. they are on the same hierarchichal level as posts on your startpage are (space/snip and space/start).

please take this as a suggestion, i am just writing a personal wishlist.

would be nice to have a macro that displays recently modified blogs of my choice. within antville this is probably easy to manage, but how about external blogs?

it should work a little bit like this:

• i specify the url of the blog in a textfield and add it to the list of "my favorite blogs"
• with a macro i can add this list to the frontpage (like the recently modified list)

i thought of writing a workaround in php, but not all of my favorite blogs provide a "data" field in their rss feed. probably there is another possibility i am just not thinking of.

I know this has been discussed in a comment recently, but as it's a proposal I'll put it here. Shouldnt the permanent link to a story not use the topic link? Whenever one moves a story from a topic to another all links to this story are broken...

just noticed that one cannot change the creator of a weblog. even if the user isn't admin anymore, he's still displayed in the rss-feed as creator. shouldnt that be editable somehow?

would be a nice fit for the Antville preferences page:

I've personally seen people despare in front of the text based color entry, and I know of one person close to me who won't start her own weblog because she "can't even set the colors".
