Yes, the new blog system is finally available, though in open beta. We've made a bunch of useful improvements along with the open beta launch of the new blog system. As you can see, all the blog skins are modifiable for the purpose that you guys can work out a layout of your own. But for the moment, the function is not available coz we don't think it is the right time to make it happen. It still requires a little more preparation. The following is a preview of the new design of the Dragonball Z skin.

As promised, "My Panel" is available now. After you sign in, through clicking "My Panel" at the top, you will enter into the "My Panel" interface where you can perform various operations like "articles management", etc, as shown below:

Click "My Panel" on the toplink

You can see the Panel page, here is the place where to manage your blog stuff

"What's new recently" will tell you the latest updates about the profile, photos, comments from your friends, but considering privacy issues, you can't receive any of these updates unless your friend enables his/her updates option.

How to enable the function? Just follow the steps below:

Step 1: Click "Setting".

Step 2: Click "Privacy setting", and decide what kind of updates you want your friends to receive from you.

Step 3: Click "Update Filter", and choose what kind of updates you wanna receive from your friends

At the bottom of the "My Panel" interface, there is a "Statistics" section, where you can check out the pageview and visitor statistics in recent 30 days and find out how popular your blog is.

There are also some other new features for you guys to explore :-) And if you have any suggestions, or find any bugs, feel free to leave me a private message or a comment, thank you in advance! By the way, we are starting to work on the "drag and drop" function of the blog system. I believe once it gets done, you guys will like it :)
