iBlog - 2.0 RC3

I just updated to Leopard and when I try to open iBlog, it completely locks up my Mac. It bounces on the doc, then stops bouncing, and all I get is a spinning ball. I can't even force quit and have to turn off the power and restart. I've opened a problem ticket with Lifli, but gotten no response.

This product hasn't been updated since 08/2007. It might be time to give up and move on to an actively supported product.

All registered users of the 1.x version can upgrade to 2.0 version for free. The registration server is up now. You can register 2.0 version using the same registration information (e-mail and license key) as the 1.x version.

Please note that the support and registration emails have been changed to reduce Spam. Check http://www.lifli.com/Contact for the actual emails or select the appropriate options in the "Help" menu in iBlog.

Please download the latest build of RC2 from http://www.lifli.com, more information on this build is available here: http://www.ibloggers.net/C1970894105/E20070417150850/index.html

Same as with previous two posts. Now April 15, 2007, 3:40 AM, Eastern Daylight saving Time, Lifli's server does not allow registration. My Internet connection is OK, and I had no problem downloading iBlog 2.0. Maybe the developers are debating whether to request an upgrade fee? :-)

It's good to know the developer is not dead. He's a nice guy, but I've been emailing him off on on over the last several months as to why my registration doesn't work anymore to no reply. I figured Lifli had closed shop. I haven't used it for a long time (since I begain having registration problems, but in many ways I liked it more than the iWeb I am currently using.

I tried to purchase it today (12/27/05) and have experienced a number of problems with the software vendor and their third party merchant services provider, CCAvenue.

The primary complication in purchasing this software is that Lifli will only accept Rupees (dumb!) and, thus, you must use a credit card. I did that, using a platinum select card at that, and the purchase was shown to be declined by CCAvenue, yet, when I contacted my credit card provider, they stated they approved the purcahase.

To add insult to injury, during a live chat trying to resolve this, I was treated as if I had done something wrong and/or was as if I was some kind of clueless loser with a maxed out credit card.

Now Lifli and CCAvenue have my personal information (via the verification process for the card), and valuable marketing information, and I have a worthless piece of software that I can't do anything with because I can't purchase it with a credit card that I use daily.
