The platform enabled users to upload up to 30 individual blog entries, which were then auto-cataloged into a left panel "index pane" on the left side of the site. Users were given access to both an on-platform ASCII generator to create banner titles for their blogs and an image-ditherer - software which converted complex, scanned photos into 2-4 color dithered bit images. Users were given two template color choices - a primary fill color and a line color. Later versions of the platform also allowed up to 2-3 additional colors in individual blog entries and even rudimentary image posting. Typical of the era, auto-scrolling was not enabled.
