BlogBuilder Update 16/08/05

Another new version of BlogBuilder has been released with some new features and improvements:

Galleries

• You can now modify images and galleries on your own blog when you're logged in whilst viewing the galleries yourself
• You can now remove images from galleries with a single click
• You can now view slideshows for individual galleries
• Slideshows should now display all your images and galleries properly

Inserting Images into Entries

• You can now insert images into your blog posts that are centred in your entry
• You can now insert images that are thumbnails to the full size images
• You can now insert images even if they are not in a gallery

These are basically improvements to the form that you get when you click the little icon next to "To insert an image" on your "Create an Entry" screens, allowing you to add an image from a gallery or from another website easily.

What this does, when you click the "Select this image" button (or on a layout), is insert a piece of HTML code into your blog entry that will produce the desired affect.

Game Reviews

There is a new type of entry – Video Game Reviews. They work pretty much the same as DVD reviews too, and display the name and publisher of the game along with any rating you have given it on your blog. You can also view all Game reviews on each person's blog, or throughout the entire of Warwick Blogs.

General Improvements

• When you delete comments from your admin screen, it now returns you back to the admin screen rather than to the entry itself
• Emails for a new registration when you request a blog now indicate that your blog has not been made "live" yet

WGA Members

Blogs will be transferred shortly between your current usercode (which will expire) and the new usercode that has been set up. Once this has happened you will be emailed with your new usercode and password.

If you have not already contacted us about keeping access to your blog, please see the entry here.
