Thanks for the reply Cory.

A couple of clarifications:

Is there a site-wide search form that searches all discussions?

Can users tag their posts with meta-tags? Can Admins assign these to posts as well?

Thanks Kevin - I'll let you know about anything else that comes to mind regarding the editor.

Best, Becca

With the blog 2.0, now the blog archives are grouped by month, which is helpful in some ways. However, is there any way to break the archives within the month folders into weeks? We often link our weekly topics to our facebook page, but now we either have to link a single blog topic or an entire month to share our blog posts on Facebook.
BeccaJones created a blog entry Blog 2.0: Return to the preview pane
It would be great to offer the preview option again. It's very helpful to preview blog posts prior to publishing.
Kevin Fielding: Thanks for the feedback Becca. We'll make sure to review this in upcoming product planning sessions.

BeccaJones created a blog entry 'target: blank' option back into blog editing tool
Hello,

Can you please return to offering the 'target: blank' option? It's frustrating and a poor use of time to manually go into html to ensure that links open in new windows! Thank you...
Kevin Fielding: Hi Becca, we'll review this as a team as well and investigate adding this functionality into an upcoming release. Incidentally the Blog editing tool is the same editing tool we use throughout many parts of our platform (discussions, wiki, announcement blocks, etc.) and we're interested in general feedback on the WYSIWYG editor as well. Are there any other features you wish you had with this tool?

BeccaJones: Thanks Kevin - I'll let you know about anything else that comes to mind regarding the editor.

Best, Becca

Hey Kcoleman,

Thanks for your reply. Yes - dragging images, I realized is possible and perhaps it was a browser issue before (not sure which browser I was using).

Thanks Cameron - will do.

I think it would be good to space these in some way. They are so close that someone might hit one over the other...just a thought.
cameron: we have done this on many templates. you can email me at cameron@mykidzport.com and i can show you how to separate these into different divs or just make large spaces between them

BeccaJones: Thanks Cameron - will do.

Kevin Fielding: Thanks Becca and Cameron. I do agree that these are a bit close together, we will review this with our UI team to investigate slightly changing the positioning in an upcoming release. For now I'll mark this as pending confirmation until we have a chance to review.

ADACarolyn: I know this has now been implemented, the two iconss are side by side, and I appreciate it.

Has anyone else noted that when they "like" a reply, it works just fine, but when they "like" an initial post, the "like" icon jumps back down BELOW the "report abuse" icon, where it used to appear before the improvement?

Kevin Fielding: Hi Carolyn - I see this as well. We'll get someone to address this too.

Thanks,
Kevin

I have some questions about capabilities in the new blog 2.0 editing tools: 1) Can I preview my blog entry before publishing? I no longer see this feature available and it was very helpful in the past. 2) For the scheduling of blog posts, can I change the time to reflect PST rather than EST? 3) When adding a link, there seems to no longer be the option to have the link open in a new window. If that's the case, now users will be directed away from our site every time we link out to other information. I'm hoping that I'm just not noticing how to link out properly... 4) Can I drag and adjust my images manually? This also seems to no longer be possible in the new blog upgrade.
