New features ;-)

• new templates • post by category • pager —

Templates: We've put up 12 new templates for you to refresh the look of your blog, or start a new one with a different feel. Infinite thanks to calgal for dedicating her valuable time to the writing of the base code for these templates, and some design input, too. These templates were built so that it is relatively simple to change colors and fonts and, for the technically inclined, even more advanced customization is easy.

You can access the new templates from your control panel. If you want to play around with the code, read about the new tags here. Please bring your customization questions to the template blog.

Categories: From your control panel -> Blog Tools, you can now enable the categories function — the ability to assign each of your posts to one or more categories that you can define, such as 'politics', 'personal' or whatever you choose. When you post, you assign one or more categories to the post and it is then automatically archived for you and your readers by subject, as well as by date.

Pager: Scroll to the bottom of this web page. See the navigation tool, the numbers 1–6 and the text "next page" and "last page"? That's what we call a 'pager', and now you can find this function on all the new templates and the most popular of the older ones.

NOTE: If you have customized your template in any way, you must either reload a fresh template or get in there and install the new tags yourself to take advantage of Categories and the Pager.
