Looks interesting, as I'm looking at alternatives to blogger for my new site. Going down my checklist, you'll support a custom domain and comments (via disqus).

Here's what's left unticked on my checklist...

   Image hosting. (Will you host my pictures or do I have to find external server space for them?)
   RSS/ATOM feeds.
   Multiple writers on a single blog.
   Mobile theme.

Thanks.

It supports image hosting. I didn't want to have to upload images to another server somewhere. It even supports multiple versions of your images (e.g. retina and regular).

It's fully responsive so it's good for mobile.

I have RSS on the roadmap, but it won't be there on day 1. Have too many things to do right now. It also won't have support for multiple writers on day 1.

How much does it cost? The pay button leads me nowhere.

    <a href="#" id="payment_btn">
        <i class="icon-credit-card" style="margin-right:10px">
        </i> 
        Click Here To Enter Payment Information
    </a>

Hmm, that's weird. That button opens up a stripe payment overlay. Do you have javascript disabled?

I think I forgot to disable NoScript. Sorry about that. I should have tried it in Chrome as well. I just assumed you were still working on the details... like money.

Confirming the fully responsive: I first read it on my old Nexus S and it was a delight.
