The blog.co.uk Blog: News, tips and more.

Dear Users,

We'll be going online with a few new features over the next few days and would like to take this opportunity to give you all a sneak preview.

1. Public Designs

You will be able to make you own personal designs public, and share them with other users. When you make your design public, it will enter the pool of public designs and will be available for all users. You will also be able to tag you design, enter it into specific categories, enter a design description, and, if necessary, to duplicate the design.

Of course, it will be possible to 'unpublish' your design, and you will also be able to make changes to the design after it has been published (e.g. updating the tags or design description). You will find this new features under 'Design Manager'

2. Blog Tags

Soon it will be possible to tag your blog. This will mean that your blog will be easier to find for users who are looking for content on a specific theme. You can already see the tag box in your blog settings, however the blog tag search is not yet online.

3. New Editor

We have completely revamped and improved the 'new' editor. The old editor will still be available, and clicking on 'Switch to new editor' button will lead you to the all-new writing page.

Please note: The new editor is still in Beta version. This mean that it is not yet completely bug-free, and that we would really appreciate your feedback.
If you do notice a bug, please report it in the BugsBlog. Your ideas and suggestions for improvement are more than welcome in the IdeasBlog, and if you need help using the new editor, let us know in the HelpBlog

4. Converting to the New Design Wizard

All accounts that currently use the old Design Wizard are being gradually changed over to the new one. For performance reasons, we cannot change all accounts immediately so we would like to ask all users that are currently using the old Wizard to change to the new one.

We hope you enjoy the new features!

Your BCUK team
