A number of enhancements have been made to the service. Here is a summary of some of the new features added yesterday:
| Import/Export | The ability to import from Movable Type or Typepad and Blogger weblogs has been added. Additionally, it is now possible to export your weblog articles as a compressed XML archive. Access the Import/Export features from the Settings tab in your Blog Admin control panel. |
| Slideshows | This new optional feature places an icon near the top of group by day and grid photo album layouts which will display a Slideshow of all of the photos in that album. See our demo weblog for an example of the Slideshow feature. To enable this feature for all of the Photo Albums on your weblog, check the box labeled Enable slideshows in the Settings tab of your Blog Admin Control Panel. |
| Display recently updated albums | It is now possible to show thumbnails from recent albums on regular categories, including the Main Page. This feature can be enabled from the Display recently updated albums checkbox on the Category Settings page in your Blog Control Panel. Options include how many recent albums and how many columns/rows of thumbnails for each album to display. |
| Comment Subscriptions | It is now possible for authenticated users to subscribe to comments as well as articles. Once you have logged into a particular weblog, you will be able to subscribe to receive email notification for every comment on a particular article, category or the entire blog. |
| Length of syndication file | This new option in the Settings tab of the Blog Admin Control Panel allows you to indicate how many entries to include in the RSS syndication feed. |
| minithumb JS Photo album layout | A new Photo albums layout type called minithumb JS is now available. This new layout displays a set of thumbnails and shows the sized image below or next to the thumbnails. Javascript is used to update the sized image when your reader clicks on one of the thumbnails. |
