We have a bunch of updates for you today:

  • Background color setting for your blog -- you can see it in action here on this news page. Goto the Settings page and click the "Site Background color" setting to pick a background color for your blog. This is just the start of the customization/theming options coming soon but we figured this is a good place to start.
  • Site subtitle - You probably want to write a little more at the top of your page -- this is now in the settings page and allows upto 200 characters. You can also use bold, italic and link tags in it (<b>, <i>, and <a> respectively)
  • Site stats - you can see some stats about your blog on the Posts page -- the number of posts you've made, how many times your posts have been viewed (we started tracking views last night), and the number of likes, comments and reposts your posts have received.
  • View counts per post - we're also showing the view counts for each post near the bottom of each one on your site (and on the /everyone page.
  • Automatic NSFW tagging - Loforo allows for NSFW/adult content as Soup did but we allow you to filter it out on the public feeds. To help identify nsfw content, we now have an automatic, AI-driven NSFW tagger for posts. It's not perfect and will misclassify some content as nsfw or vice-versa. We will have a manual NSFW tagging option per post as well as a "Report" button for public feeds to report adult content that isn't tagged as such.
