We're having a little difficulty with one of our servers.  I've dropped that server from rotation while I fix it, but some users might still get assigned to that server by their ISP's DNS cache.  That will resolve itself within four hours; I'm expecting to get the problem itself fixed sooner than that.

Update: Fixed now.  The server involved lost its NFS mount for some reason; it's been rebooted and put back into operation.

• No ads on your site
• No ads when you view other mee.nu sites
• Use your own domain instead of (or as well as) a mee.nu domain
• Podcast support and access to the mee.fm servers

Your friends lists is a list of, well, friends.  Your ban list is a list of users banned from commenting on your site; if you like, you can set up your site so that only friends can comment on your site or send messages to you.

You also have the option to apply your friends' ban lists, and your friends' friends lists.  If that's all to confusing, ask here for help!

Simply by appending /archive/year/month to any folder-level request - your main index, for example, or a category page - you can get an archive for that folder.  If you have more questions about archives, this is the place!

There are two main ways to create custom CSS for your mee.nu site: static CSS or dynamic CSS.  (There are other ways to do it, but we're trying not to confuse you too much!)

CSS is a tricky topic, and this is the place to come for help.

Minx - the mee.nu blogging engine - uses a general concept of folders to organise all your content.  Categories are one type of folder; you will start out with one sample category.  If you copy the settings from that folder to a new folder, with just the name and path changed, you will create a new category for your posts.  We'll be adding a specific category screen shortly to make this easier.

If you have questions regarding categories and other folders, post here.
