New Page Type - Related Pages

posted on 10/24/2006 08:51 AM

We've added a new page type to PageBuildr - one so simple and useful I can't believe we didn't think of it earlier.

It's called Related Pages.  When you choose this page type, it will simply list the title and link to any subpages that exist.

Let's say I want to add 3 photo galleries from different vacations I've been on.  I'll make a Related Page named "Vacation Photos", and the content of that page will say "Click on the links below to view my vacation photo galleries!". 

Then, as I create my photo galleries, I'll use "Vacation Photos" as the parent page.  When someone clicks on the page "Vacation Photos", they'll be able to click the links to view all the different photo galleries.  The links will be updated as I add and remove sub pages automatically.

Give it a shot, and let us know what you think in the Feedback Forum.

PageBuildr.com - New Site Design

posted on 09/05/2006 7:52 PM

We've launched a new site design for PageBuildr!  After tiring of the old "wow is this boring" color scheme, the new design has a bit more color and pizazz.

The new homepage introduces some icons for the different page types available on PageBuildr.  We thought this would be more fun than a bunch of text.  Future plans include incorporating this PageBuildr Announcements blog, some browsing options, and "featured websites" to highlight some of our better PageBuildrs.

Like the rest of PageBuildr, it's a work in progress, but feel free to weigh in and let us know what you think of it so far...

Build Area Updates

posted on 08/08/2006 07:37 AM

Lots of changes to the Build area over the weekend:

Manage Friends - You can now view a list of all of your friends, and, if you like, delete existing friends you no longer want on your list.  Manage Friends and Approve Friends are now submenu buttons off of the "Friends" button in Build.

Manage Forum - Added the ability to delete topics in your forums.  While you can edit your own posts, you are unable to edit those posts from other PageBuildr users - but you can remove them if you like.

Manage Comments - You can now view and delete comments for all of your pages and content.  Look for the graphic in the Pages area of Build to access this feature.

New Content

posted on 08/04/2006 08:31 AM

Updated 8-4-06:

We've just added a new feature to PageBuildr - new content notification.

When you come back to PageBuildr and login, you'll notice a icon next to the comments and topics links within pages. This indicates that the topic or comments have been modified since your last visit.

We've also added notification to the menu buttons. Instead of the red dot, which makes the page a bit busy, we've made the text of the button bold when there is new content on that page.

For example, the text should presently be bold on the "PageBuildr Announcements" button to the left, if you are logged in.

The purpose of this is to let you know what content is new since your last visit. We tried to keep it small and subtle so it doesn't add clutter to the sites, but obvious enough that you'll know what's new.

Please leave any feedback about this feature in the comments below - we'd like to know what you think.

RSS Feeds Added

posted on 08/02/2006 07:45 AM

We've added RSS Feeds to the Blog page type.  These are automatically generated by PageBuildr when you add, edit and delete content from your Blogs.

What's RSS you ask? 

RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a new way for websites to distribute news, events, or other current information. A visitor to a website that has an RSS feed can choose to "subscribe" to the feed. Then their RSS reader program will automatically get any new news releases or other information from that website.

Click here to learn more.

Auto Login

posted on 08/01/2006 9:28 PM

We've added an "Auto Login" feature to the login process for PageBuildr. To use it, simple leave the check box labeled "login automatically on future visits" checked next time you login.

This will, as you can imagine, log you in automatically next time you visit PageBuildr.

Not only will this save you the step of having to login every time you visit, it wlll also make the previously mentioned "New Content" feature more useful, as you'll know right away what content on PageBuildr has been modified or added since your last visit.

Please leave any feedback on this feature in the comments below.

My MP3s Page Type Added

posted on 07/23/2006 10:18 PM

We've just launched a beta version of the My MP3s page type.

This will allow you to post MP3s of the music you've created and share it with the world.  Listeners can tune in using the PageBuildr MP3 Player, which streams the audio to the listener's browser.  Your cover art even displays while the track is playing.

This page type is still a beta version, so if you run into any problems please post them to the "Feedback" forum.
