Radio Userland has come up with a new version of its blog software, but at $39.95 we can not recommend it at all, since we are already quite displeased with the old version.
For example, even though we post in English, the fact that we are located in Germany causes the blog posting dates to be written in German, automatically, which we do not want at all.
Essentially, anytime blog software is doing something the blog poster has not specifically approved - the blog software should not be doing it, especially NOT the change of languages for any visible part of a blog.
We also find that the Radio Userland server is extremely slow when we access the blog.
Lastly, we find that the features available and intuitive use of the software leave a lot to be desired when compared with other blog software, which is probably the reason that few bloggers use this software. We only maintain this blog at Radio Userland because we paid for it, otherwise we run everything through Blogger, and new competitors have surfaced - see e.g. our discussion at LawPundit.
