Do you see what I see? Okay, so I probably picked a really bad thumbnail for this post. It looks like part of blip! Hell, it's a screenshot of a part of blip! But here's the real point. Thumbnail override works now. It's part of blip. So if you're worried that you won't like the thumbnail that blip grabs out of your video, or if you're worried that blip won't grab a thumbnail (at the moment, unfortunately, a definite possibility) then just upload an image alongside your movie. I'll also take this opportunity to let you know that blip fully supports rel="payment" these days. I wrote about it on the Pokkari blog a bit back.

All with a couple clicks from my central blip dashboard. If you want to update the post, do it on blip. We'll update your blogs (all of them) for you. It's true centralized editing. I've updated this post three or four times now. Those edits are all reflected on all of my blogs within a minute or two. We provide a great, fully compliant RSS 2.0 feed with enclosures. We don't support Media RSS yet, but we will soon. As always, I'd like to promise you much more cool stuff coming in the f...
