After a few months of blog-hibernation...

We have included more features in our application. Some of it are as follows:

1) Versioning. A post can have different versions now and backtracking to older version is a breeze.
2) Drafts. Users can now save and view their drafts more conveniently.
3) Interface. The Graphical Users' Interface has been made more organized for pleasant browsing.
4) Running Time. By reducing the time being spent by the program on searching for a JavaSpace and a TransactionManager, we have drastically made the program faster.
5) Actions and Warnings. Users are not left guessing on what the system is doing. The current action being performed is displayed in the status bar. Also, warnings are displayed on certain user violations or plain system errors.
6) Searching. We are currently developing a searching algorithm by which the application returns the result of the search based on the context of its keywords. We are already finding ways on how to streamline the running time of the algorithm.
