About two months ago, I complained about the problems with the O'Reilly Network weblogs. Today, Derrick Story announced a variety of new features for those weblogs that includes just about everything I asked for and more. Wow.
Among the new features: A new site for all O'Reilly Network weblogs, RSS feeds for every weblog author, permalinks for every entry, contact information for every author, and even trackbacks. The only thing missing is a combined RSS feed for the weblogs as a whole. I'm very impressed -- I never expected them to change this much in so little time.
