A maintenance window is scheduled for October 28, 2006 to enhance Blogware:
Date: 2 December 2006 EST
Time: 10:00PM EST - 03:00AM EST
Duration: 6 hours
During this windows, blogs and the publisher's control panel will be unavailable.
The following enhancements will be made:
Creating Reader Accounts:
- "Create A Reader Account" renamed to "Create An Account".
- Clicking the "Create An Account" link in a blog will go directly to the "Create An Account" page. This page has been re-designed to keep the user within the blog instead of an external page.
Managing Reader Accounts:
- Readers can now manage their reader account from a single page. Readers who log into a blog can click ‘My Preferences’, and will be taken to the preferences page.
- Readers can delete their reader account, change their email notifications, or display name.
User Permissions Section:
- "Manage Groups" changed to "List Groups". Existing groups will be listed and new groups can be added.
- The "Edit Group" page has been re-designed to be more user-friendly.
- The "Edit User" screen has been redesigned and email notifications for readers (users with no associated blog) can now be modified by the blog owner.
Once these changes are made, the documentation (link available in the control panel) will be updated.
