 	I see.  But the templates are shared between multiple users, and 
not just one user, right?

 	Right.  You can type in any domain you want (see 
blogs.limedaley.com)  There is a getCustomDomain function, though I see it 
returns the mangled_blogname if the custom domain has not been set.  That 
is probably just to prevent a null from being returned in all cases.

 	The calendar would probably be nice.  I suggest you take a look at 
1.2 to see what changes have been made on our side too.  Not too much, 
although there are a couple easier ways to upload resources while adding a 
new post.
