• Desktop client/Dashboard widget/Firefox plug-in: The ability to update without being on the page is a fantastic feature, especially as Profy will, inevitably, become a blocked site on many work networks. (Yes, I admit it: I blog at work/school/wherever I happen to be. PROUDLY.) ^_^
• Ability to post via e-mail, for times when one is away from his/her own computer.  A registered e-mail address used to post is a valuable tool when on the road.  This opens up posting options from WAP phones as well as shared computers.

Since we actually target Profy at the users that can’t live an hour without updating their blogs with something invariably extremely important, we are definitely going to provide them with the tools to make updating blogs easier.

In the nearest plans we have a broser toolbar both for Firefox and Internet Explorer that will enable you to update your blog with something you see online, to access your latest comments and your network easily. If you have other ideas for the functionality such a toolbar should provide to you as a user, go ahead and share them in the comments below so that we could include them in development as well.

Later on we will also create desktop client and we will enable users to update their blogs by sending blog posts by email as well – but these features are in the medium-term plans so it will take longer time for them to be implemented.

• Ability to cross-post/ship posts to other blog sites. This is a useful feature for those of us who have developed friend/reader bases on other sites, not all of whom will follow us to Profy. Utterz, Twitter, Vox, LJ, Facebook, Blogger, etc., already allow for this and make it easy.

We understand that bringing to Profy bloggers with established blogs and readership from other platforms is a challenge that requires cross-posting, of course. We do not expect that people will simply leave their other blogs for good and migrate here without hesitation, of course. But we know that Profy provides functionality that is non-existent on other blog platforms, like reading feeds and networking with readers and other bloggers easily. So what we intend to do is make it possible for people to perform all their blogging activities here (for example, they can read news and create posts here) and cross-post their creations to their other blogs. Actually this is a high-priority feature for us that will be implemented very soon – we understand that growing the platform depends very much on how we allow people to work with other tools.

• Greater integration with photohosting sites such as Flickr, Photobucket, SmugMug, ImageShack, etc.

Integration at least with Flickr and Photobucket is to be implemented soon as well. The integration will allow your blog to access your account on Flickr or Photobucket and be able to easier choose the photo you need from there with thumbnails instead of using URL for every image you want to be displayed in the post.

We are also working on the solutions that will allow for media storage right within your own accounts for your photos and other files – but this is a very complex problem that requires proper research so this will take longer to implement,

I really enjoy what I've seen so far.  As has been pointed out to me, though, some of the layouts could use some rethinking in their color schemes.  Some of the fonts make for hard-to-read comment sections, both in the comment section itself and in the comment feed in the sidebar. (Also, names for the layouts would be useful when referring to them for trouble shooting. Much more useful than "that purple one" or "the one with rocks.")

If any of the users reading this post has some other bugs to report or features to suggest, feel free to leave comments below (as well as send emails to feedback@profy.com) so that I could bring your suggestions to attention of all the users here.
