We're happy to announce today that we've just enable static pages for all the blogs on the site. So, if you want to have a page that isn't an article, you can go to your 'blog settings' and add whatever you'd like. For the time being you can code in a good deal of HTML in there. So, for instance, if you wanted to have an About page, then this would be the place to do it.
While the feature was accessible for awhile in the hosted blog setups, we've now made it accessible to all blogs, as well as a lot simpler to use and incorporate whatever someone might like to put in there including such items as: embedding a flickr stream, Google Map, a party you're having, or just about anything you'd like. You can create and take away these pages as much as you want and as necessary, so enjoy.
In the near future, we'll be adding in translation capabilities so that they work just like the articles as well, since there are many authors on this site who are multilingual and might want to be able to have something like an About pages in two or more languages.
