Improved privacy
Following quite a lot of feedback from people about wanting better privacy options, I've made a few simple changes that should help matters a bit.
- You can now un-tick all permissions boxes on an entry and it will let you do it :) Thus meaning that the entry is then only viewable by the author or the owner of that blog
- It is now possible to override the default permissions for entries by changing the querystring to an entry. What this basically means is that there is now a "private entry" link in your toolbar which defaults to private permissions. It will also show you in big writing at the top of the entry that it is a private entry.
- You can now also set permissions based on your blog's contributors, so you will see Author/Moderator/Administrator options. This will be especially useful for group blogs where the authors are also the only viewers.

Does it look like I'm on the right track?

Yes, that's really good. I'm going to start keeping private notes right away. The friends only option would be good to. Will that group be internal to blogbuilder? If we went down the SiteBuilder for Students route it might be good to be able to reuse the friends group there as well.
I suppose we're waiting for the arbitrary groups system for more of this?

Only problem is that on my laptop (1024×768) it now seems impossible to have the toolbar not wrap and spoil the page. This isn't super hires, but is fairly standard, so it seems a shame. Not all of us have 23" widescreen apple displays (not that you do Kieran, but we both know a man who does :-).

Rob: Yes, arbitary groups will really help this, and should definately integrate across all of our systems
Hongfeng: Yes, I do intend to have a flag the prevents entries appearing there
Chris: A drop down menu of some kind should be on the way

Sorry Kieran, I feel like we're overloading you with new requirements now.

Emma says can you change it so that the music reviews link to an MP3?
No – only joking!!
