A System Update was performed on the BlogHarbor network today. A number of bugs were fixed, and some great features were added. Here's a rundown of some of the major changes introduced today:
- Sticky Posts
- Ever wanted to add an article to your blog which would always appear at the top of a category or the top of your Main Page? That's a Sticky Post! We've made it easy to mark a post as sticky. Read our user manual page and learn how make your articles sticky.
- Spell Checking
- A spell checker has been integrated into the Rich Text Editor. The user manual page on the spell checker is here.
- Posting to the Future
- One feature you asked us for was the ability to "post to the future"; to create an article and set it to appear on your blog from a certain day and time. Well, Posting to the Future is now here: learn how to specify the date and time your post will be published.
- Prohibit hotlinking
- To control your bandwidth usage, you can now prohibit other websites from hotlinking your files. Hotlinking, which we refer to as "sourcing of files" or "file sourcing," is when another website loads your images or files on their site. Your bandwidth is used when that site's visitors load their page and see images hosted from your blog; enabling this feature prevents other sites from sourcing your files. Learn how to manage file sourcing.
- No Follow
- Support for No Follow has been added for Trackbacks and Comments. No Follow is technique created by Google to ensure that spammers do not receive any benefit in search engine rankings as a result of being linked to from your blog. By enabling this feature on your weblog, all links in Trackbacks and Comments will automatically receive the No Follow tag. Learn how to enable No the Follow setting on your blog.
- Delete and Block Trackbacks
- It's now possible for you to delete incoming trackbacks in batches, and also to block problem Trackbacks from recurring, allowing you to better handle trackback abuse. Learn more about managing trackbacks.
