New release

A new release of BlogBuilder today has added a few new features and fixed some bugs that may be of interest to users:

• We have tweaked the CSS in blogs slightly and as part of this have added two new styles to pick from, Simplicity and Floral, with a variety of colours. You can use these on your blog by going to “Admin” and then to “Appearance”
• It is now much easier to use the Textile function to do tables, as we have provided some global CSS classes to style them with:

outline:

table(outline).
|_. Header1|_. Header2|_. Header3|
|Cell1|Cell2|Cell3|
|Cell4|Cell5|Cell6|

Header1	Header2	Header3
Cell1	Cell2	Cell3
Cell4	Cell5	Cell6

border:

table(border).
|_. Header1|_. Header2|_. Header3|
|Cell1|Cell2|Cell3|
|Cell4|Cell5|Cell6|

Header1	Header2	Header3
Cell1	Cell2	Cell3
Cell4	Cell5	Cell6

divider:

table(divider).
|_. Header1|_. Header2|_. Header3|
|Cell1|Cell2|Cell3|
|Cell4|Cell5|Cell6|

Header1	Header2	Header3
Cell1	Cell2	Cell3
Cell4	Cell5	Cell6

You can also combine these classes by putting a space in between the class names:

table(outline divider).
|_. Header1|_. Header2|_. Header3|
|Cell1|Cell2|Cell3|
|Cell4|Cell5|Cell6|

Header1	Header2	Header3
Cell1	Cell2	Cell3
Cell4	Cell5	Cell6

• You can now choose how many entries to display on your blog’s home page by going to “Admin” then “Settings”
• We now allow per-blog and global aggregation by author with the user’s usercode, for example http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/news/author/cuscav

For the more technical amongst you, we also now support Microsummaries, allowing users to get live titles in bookmarks in certain browsers.
