It’s a great idea. I think it would be a lot nicer to read without the typing animation for blog text. It seems like a fast site - show that off!

Thank you! The animation site was actually just to show that you could attach a javascript file and embed it in your e-mail!

Is an example without the javascript!

But... why? Giving a user complete control over JS code that will run directly off the site is inherently an unsafe idea, for you and for the user.

Sorry about that, a more serious answer: There are already hundreds of thousands of webhosts who offer Javascript hosting - what makes this one any less safe?
