We will be performing maintenance tonight (3/29) from 7pm to 8pm Pacific.  The maintenance will likely take under 30 minutes, but during this period of time, the site may be partially or completely unavailable. 

Once the maintenance is completed, the yourminis API will be available for all developers.  Thanks to those of you who have participated in our private beta - you have helped us strengthen then API.

This change is implemented with a new "developers" tab, which will give you all of the necessary information surrounding our API.  In addition, this new tab will enable you to upload your finished work product into the "labs" area of the community, allowing other members of the community to interact with your newly created widget.

In addition to allowing developers to create and distribute their widgets, we're also giving them the ability to analyze how that widget is being leveraged throughout the Internet.  Our reporting console will provide information including the number of views, a comparison of new vs. return viewers, the average number of views per viewer, the number of views per domain and the number of views per country.  Below is a simple snapshot of a reporting summary:

And finally, we've managed to fix a number of issues with this release:

• dezamp pointed out two issues that we were able to resolve.  First, the "mark all as read" feature was not working within the Digg widget.  Second, the hover over within the bookmarks widget showed the details for the wrong item. 
• mjmj pointed out that we somehow "broke" the functionality of RSS widgets in minimal view - that is if they were clicked and then minimized again. 
• As others of you have done, Doymarn has downloaded our desktop widget environment - and he's found some issues with the notepad widget which are now corrected.  Doymarn also suggested that we add the "copy to desktop" functionality to the widgets within the startpage - and so we have.
• It seems that we weren't encoding data in our embedded widgets properly - and thanks to harrycaul, we now are!
• There was an issue with changing the title within the RSS widget.  It seems that the title would just become "undefined".  Thanks to terenceonline for reporting it.
• We've made the MP3 player resizable horizontally for those of you with small sidebars on your blog.  Thanks for pointing this out to us, Bill - now you can put the MP3 player back into your sidebar!

As always, it's likely that we've fixed more than just what's listed here.  And it's also possible that we broke some thing too...  So please keep the comments coming and we'll do our best to add your feature suggestions and fix any issues!
