I just tried it with my EZWeb browser and it works great.
In particular, the automatic pagination is really nice.

One suggestion: As a convenience feature, you could have it
generate a QR code for the site URL. That way, after I create it
using the desktop interface, I can just use my phonecam and QR
reader to access it right way.
And/or you could just add the ability to e-mail the URL to any
arbitrary e-mail address. The current mechanism for sending the
site URL to a mobile phone seems to be limited to only US phones.

Nice. Could I ask you to consider adding Tokyo Metblogs to that
News:Japan subcategory list?
http://tokyo.metblogs.com/
That site is a group "metro" blog for Tokyo. I expect to very soon
be adding a number of other active Tokyo authors who will be
blogging there occasionally.
