Sitebuilder Update

While the title is seemingly normal and boring, the reality is this update may change your life as we know it today. Or not... That depends on how important the ANR Blogs are to your sitebuilder site. Previously, anyone with a sitebuilder site could integrate ANR Blog posts into the right column of the home page. Now, this integration includes a choice to pick the center column as well. Part of the change also includes an RSS Feed link at the bottom of the Blog posting section. The RSS Feed lists all the posts that are displayed on your site. So if you have more that one Blog displayed on your site, all the posts come in as a single RSS Feed.

Displaying your blogs in the center column is very easy to do. Here's how to do it:

1. Login to Sitbuilder
2. Go to "Edit Home Page"
3. In the "Blog Options" on the right column, you will now see 3 options for displaying ANR Blogs. You may:

1. Display No Blogs
2. Display Blogs in the Center Column
3. Display Blogs in the Right Column

 

All the other options work exactly the same for both columns the blogs are displayed. One difference you will see between the right and left columns is the center column displays the posts main picture as a small icon at the beginning of the post.

Example of ANR Blogs in center column:

 

ANR Blogs in right column:

For more information on how to add ANR Blogs to your Sitebuilder site take a look at my post entitled "New Feature". 

It looks like the other features found in the "Blog Options" have never been explained. So here's what the other features do... (see the "Blog Options" example above)

Section Title
This is the title to display above the Blog posts.

Number of Posts to display on main page
Displays the number of posts you enter here. This can be any number from 1 to 255 and it only applies to the main or home page of your site.

Number of Characters to display on main page
This tells the system how many characters to display for each post. This can be anywhere from 20-1000 characters.

Blogs shown on Site
Here's is where you pick which blogs to display. You may select as many or as few blogs as you like.
