Continued improvements to blog section type

Christine Cahoon   Tue 13 May 2014   updated: Wed 04 Jun 2014

We've added some improvements to the "blog" section type within ETINU. It means the blog has a new appearance. The new features we've added include:

-- a compact, more readable display, initially only displaying headings and the first few lines of an article

-- clicking any article toggles display of the full text

-- a sidebar summarises all articles and comments chronologically, any month's can be selected directly

-- a blog search returns matching articles and comments with search words highlighted

-- any article can be displayed on a separate page by selecting the title (useful for references)

-- author avatars have been added, so owners can create their own at: http://www.gravatar.com

-- if an author avatar cannot be found, a default is selected at random from a small set of generic icons.

Examples of the new layout can be seen at:

Social media options and a keyword tag cloud will be following soon.

Keyword cloud now added... so any keywords that you've used in your blog post can be highlighted in the sidebar by using the 'Keyword' field of that post.
