date manipulation / search engine / story preview

hi, i have three questions/suggestions:

  1. is it possible to change the creation and modification dates/times of stories? you know, just a little manipulation of the own blog's history... but seriously: each time i correct some wrong spelling or so in an old entry, it jumps on no.1 of the recently modified charts.
  2. what about an (additional or combined) search engine which searches all antville blogs instead of only one? i'd love that, and it would stress the community aspect of antville, make it more permeable.
  3. is it possible to create something like a story preview page, e.g. in a similar design as the "storypool" (title, a few text-lines, maybe the topic and a ">read the full story"-link)? accessable for all readers, without the edit, delete etc. buttons? this would be fine for people with a long back catalog.

please don't get me wrong, i know it's very easy to suggest a little extra work if it has to be done by others (especially if you're a code illiterate as i am), but maybe you like one of these ideas, and maybe some of these things are even possible right now and i just didn't get it.

ad 1) no, currently that's not possible. ad 2) this is more complex than it might seem (has to do a lot with the internal structure of antville), and i think it will take some more time to do it. but yes, we'll try to implement something like this. ad 3) this is somehow related to the question if a story should also have an optional lead-text (which we didn't decide 'til now). anyway, it should be possible to do something similar with the current version of antville: have look at the story-preview-skin and story-display-skin.

and thanks for your suggestions!
