Topic: News
I'm running quite a bit behind (busy, busy) but I wanted to drop a quick post to say that the Angelfire Team this week released a major update to the Blogs software, to bring it back up to the same revision that is running on Tripod.
Some features:
1. Many new templates including baby templates, health & fitness, and military-related themes.
2. Panel colors can now be set separately from others in the configuration, without using the advanced editing feature. Many of the templates have been updated to reflect this new configurability.
3. RSS is now enabled by default on new blogs. More browsers will now also be able to detect your feeds automatically.
4. Mobile posting has been made more resilient. You now get emailed responses if you fail authentication and you can now set a blog or gallery as your "default" so that you can use an easier email address to send to it.
6. Many other random bugs were fixed.
7. Other things that I can't remember because I don't have any of the documentation in front of me.
This week, we have also updated CGI support for paying members to Perl 5.8.5-- some of the time. If we don't see any problems, we'll be gradually upgrading the remainder of the servers. (This also includes some other backend updates.)
Next week, the Photo Album builder should also "catch up" to Tripod with photo printing support, better mobile posting, and more templates. (So you don't feel slighted as an Angelfire member, I should mention that we have an *extremely* exciting new feature that will be Angelfire-only coming out this summer/fall. I can't say anything about it, but it is unlike anything we currently offer.)
If you find any problems with blogs or CGI this week (or anything else), please respond in this thread and I'll make sure things get communicated.
