File Manager, Moblogging for Basic and Improvements
Posted by Mena Trott in Announcements
We've introduced a number of new features to TypePad tonight. In particular, one of them, the File Manager, is a feature that will please many TypePad users.
We've also unveiled a new logo for TypePad, which we're very excited about! After months of the old logo (always intended to be temporary), it's refreshing to see the new logo, based on a lily pad, and which we see as emblematic of the community of subscribers that has been built around TypePad.
In the coming months, we're planning to roll out additional interface changes to make TypePad easier to use and more powerful and these new features and changes are the first steps in that direction.
File Manager
We've introduced a powerful File Manager that allows you to delete and manage files that you've uploaded, along with a streamlined interface for uploading new files into any of your folders. The File Manager is available for use for Basic, Plus, and Pro users (in "Control Panel > Files"). This allows your to delete files that you've uploaded to their account, navigate through the folder structure of your weblogs, and upload new files directly to anywhere in your account.
Insert Image/File into weblog posts
Looking for the old "Upload File" link in the Weblog tab? The "Weblog > Post > Upload File" functionality has been replaced with easier-to-use, and more dynamic, "Insert Image" and "Insert File" buttons for easily inserting images and files into posts. These changes allow you to insert an image or file directly into a post, rather than having to copy HTML into the post. The new interface also gives you additional options for the alignment of images, whether images are opened in popup windows, etc.
Moblogging for Basic Users
Moblogging functionality is now available to Basic users. Basic users now have access to the "Control Panel > Mobile Settings" screen in the Control Panel and have the ability to configure their mobile devices and email clients to post to TypePad.
