We are pleased to announce a new Site Builder feature as well as the resurrection of an old broken asset!
First, we've added the option in Site Information and Appearance to have top navigation stick to the left OR the right!
Just toggle "Right" and your top navigation, assuming you're using top navigation, will float right.
One thing to consider if you use the right aligned top navigation, your dropdown menus, if you have them, may extend off of the page. It's a design trainwreck, but one that we could no avoid at this time because of the flexibility built into Site Builder. When we devise a new design, we will take this situation into consideration.

We keep a list of things that need to be changed or added to Site Builder, and although we address critical issues immediately, sometimes enhancements can sit for quite a while before implementation.
Two examples of "listed" items got their day in court this week and are now officially part of Site Builder.
First, we've added the ability to change or add a still image to FLV and MPG videos. If you've ever uploaded a video in one of these formats, you may have seen this once you added it to the page:
The video is there, but there is no still image under the centered white arrow. That just won't do! Our video upload tool tries to capture a still for each FLV and MP4 video added, but sometimes it doesn't...

It seems like only yesterday that we announced the release of the "URL Tools" section of your ANR Portal, but we already have an update to share! We've added a new "Recommended Sites" tool that will allow you to highlight your site when someone uses the search tool provided at the top of Site Builder 3 sites.
We use Google's Custom Search to power the general search results in all Site Builder sites. Even though Google returns good results, it may not always return the best result. To assist our users in finding the right results, our Recommended Sites tool will query an internal list of search terms and try to find a match. The great thing about this internal list is that you can help build it.
Simply add your...

Every once in a while an innovation comes along that will change your life. And every now and then something comes along to improve your life. While this innovation promises neither of these it will change the way you search! In fact you have probably already used it on the web. However, this feature is new to Site Builder 3.0.
We have added a new asset called the "Custom Search". This asset allow you to create a search that returns a filtered set of results based upon the "Search URL" entered.
This works by plugging in the URL from the "Search URL" into the custom search. Google then uses this URL to...

When we designed Site Builder 3, one of our goals was to meet UC guidelines for accessibility and improve the "usability" of our sites. Usability refers to the ease with which a user can muddle through your content.
One of the challenges we faced was dealing with font-color changes on Site Builder pages. For users with color-blindness or low vision, green on white can present a very real barrier to comprehending your content.
Our solution was to remove the color picker from the text editor in Site Builder 3. Success! No...
