UO Blogs System Updated

You may have noticed a new look and feel for the UO Blogs interface! Over the weekend, our host company,Edublogs, performed an update to the system.

This update includes the following new features and changes:

  • A new look to the admin bar
  • Flyout menus to keep menu items neat
  • Improved ‘Inactive Widgets’ area to save widgets (This will prevent widgets from getting lost when you change themes)
  • Customize Feature to change the header, background, title, and menus of the current theme while viewing a live update

New Plugins and Themes

We have added the following new plugins:

  • Onswipe: Onswipe allows you to customize the way your blog or site will look from a tablet. Also allows the ability to add your own branding.
  • Password Protect Selected Content: Allows you to password protect selected content within a post or a page while the rest of the content remains public.
  • TinyMCE Ultimate: Beefs up your visual editor with a plethora of advanced options.

We also added a new theme: Atahualpa.
