I think I've developed a sort of blindness to the social proof thing with <human head in a circle and positive text blurb> so it took me a bit to realize those are clickable examples of actual user websites and not just endorsements. Makes sense.

A ton have come and gone like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterous (It even starts with a P, ha, time is a flat circle)
I believe it had custom domains at some point and a built in newsletter/rss and the thing that made it popular at the time was that you could email it your posts.
You should copy that feature. :)
Cool, and good luck.
