New Editor

We have added features to the blog editor interface this weekend. Here's a review of what's new under the Blogs tab of the editor:

Post tab -> Write: If you are using Internet Explorer (versione 5.5 or higher) or Firefox you will see some changes in the editor layout.

Underneath the main posting window:
    • you can choose to allow comments (or hide existing comments, disallowing future ones) for that individual post;
    • you can preview the post (as before); and
    • users who choose to uprade to our new premium service, mo'pro (now in soft-launch, beta testing) you can now:
          - save drafts of your posts;
          - change the time and date of your old posts; and
          - schedule drafts to be posted in the future.

Post tab -> Manage:  All users can now apply certain edits across a whole range of posts in just one page, also known as "batch editing". You can view a list of your old posts by month, tag and other attributes and then modify the comment status, tag and, for mo'pro members, draft/published status and the time/date on one or more of the displayed posts.

Just try it. Hopefully it's easier to use than it is to explain. We are currently rewriting the user manual to cover the multimedia features, these editor updates and the mo'pro account.

Please post to the help blog if you have any specific questions about this.

Following your feedback about the premium plans, we will developing new accounts in the next few weeks. Thanks to everyone for the input.
