Finally got a new version of 350Pages released - my contribution to non-free software as a service. This version includes more paying features, so hopefully this release will start making more than just the advertising revenue and a few domain names.

This release includes Cityscape and Grounded template sets, amongst many other more useful but less fun changes, and template sets.

Details of the update will shortly appear on the 350Pages blog, but this update deals with the annoying button bar problem, by letting you copy buttonbars between webpages.

The projects webstats continue to grow quickly, with thousands of users trying it each week, thousands of websites already created on almost every imaginable topic. We'll shortly have to move the system to somewhere better connected, and possibly a bigger piece of iron (although this version fixes the evil memory leak in the fastcgi process, so hopefully they won't accumulated 1GB of virtual memory a day anymore).

As always there were a couple of issues after launch - quickly fixed - but the biggest problem we have now is getting feedback from users. Seems in the "Web 2" era where MySpace sets the quality standards, people assume things are as they are, and complaining won't get it fixed. Whilst we can't guarantee to get things fixed (the crashing problem in IE6 is due to IE6 bugs as far as we can tell - a workaround exists) we do value user feedback. Any tips of how to get more and better (!) user feedback on web services are very welcome!
