I've set all current users to the following settings:

Public comments: On
Comment notifications: On
File storage: 1 byte (effectively disabling the system except for administrators)
User icons: 20

These settings are being done manually until Matt can set it up as a blanket rule. Since we've only got ~130 registered users right now, it didn't take long.

If you wish to change your comment settings, click "Account Settings" at the top right in the gray bar. You will also find, at the bottom of that page, where to set your blog editor (wysiwyg by default; this can be turned off).

If you have questions or comments, leave a comment at this post.

Premier accounts

I'm considering what to grant Premier account holders who use their blogs regularly. I'm thinking, so far, that anyone with a full profile by the middle of the year 2008 who also regularly uses their blogs for six months following sign-up (posting at least once a week), will be granted 100 user icons permanently, along with any other paid account options we offer within a set period (to be determined), all free. The Premier account will only be offered to the first 500 users who meet the criteria. The terms of this offer may evolve, particularly the mid-2008 time limit if the site doesn't take off very fast.

If your computer's resolution is less than 1024 x 768, you may see some page distortion or scrollbars in the sidebars. Feel free to complain to webmaster@rendingtheveil.com if it's intolerable. You might also consider tweaking your resolution enough to split the difference.

I'm sure we'll be adjusting the details for a while, so you have time to get your suggestions or bug reports in. We aspire to finishing the worst of it by official launch on October 31, but that may be optimistic. ;-) We'll see.

Thanks so much for joining us!  I hope you'll like it here as much as I think you will.
