Where did my post go?

Last time it figured out it was really me.
Hmm... I guess anyone can register and post an entry like this.
* Allows profiles
* has voting, favorites, and rating
* allows anyone to post content? I think so, but with limits. This entry form doesn't allow much
What about HTML?
* If you login as a full user you get the full dashboard as before, But if you register as a basic user from the public site you get the simple limited entry form
* Allows for "followers" and for "folllowing"
* The community pack includes Forums as well, but they have to be created separately. They look very similar, but are real forums (not blogs) that let anyone start a topic conversation.
* "Action streams" allow for aggregating/tracking of activity of those you "follow", e.g., posting, commenting, creating a forum topic etc. There is also a way to track activity on other social media platforms like Facebook.

We may use this new approach for all blogs or for some or for a single forum - maybe one of these for each conference...? Don't want too many blogs though. Let's play with it first and see what it really does since the documentation is so sparse.
We are consolidating some of our blogs and have migrated all the content (including authorship, tags, categories etc.) on this blog to our main blog at http://gilbane.com/blog/. We will be re-directing the permalinks once the consolidation is complete and everything is tested.
