Welcome to the new 20six.co.uk

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're all looking forward to summer and have some exciting things planned. What better way to keep your friends and family in touch with what you're doing this summer than with the exciting new version of the 20six platform? We've been taking on board your suggestions and your function requests and the programmers have been working very hard to make a much improved new platform for you all.

In this post I'm going to go through some of the new features with you so that you can get straight down to enjoying them. The look and feel of the whole site has been updated and hopefully you will find our new administrator area when you log-in is much more user friendly. Don't panic at it looking different - because we wanted to make sure that the change is easy for you, it works in a very similar way and you can still find the options you need in the left hand menu.

New Functions Are:

  • Friends Function: At the top of the page you can now see which of your friends are online and if you have any new messages from them. If you go to the 'Friends' page you will also be able to see all of the latest posts from your friends making it much easier to keep up with people.
  • New Entry Layout: When you make a new entry it's now very easy to insert media such as videos, images and youTube clips. You can do all of this on one page without needing pop-up windows or to go to other sections of the site. We wanted to make it quick and easy to make entries with everything at your fingertips.
  • Post Tagging: This is a feature we've had a lot of requests for, you can now add tags to your post so that people in the community can easily find your entries on various subjects. It's a great way of organising things and can let you call up all related posts with just one click.
  • Extended Profiles: You can now add things you like to your extended profile and then see which other users share those interests, it's a great way to meet like minded bloggers.
  • New Spam Filter - You won't need to enter the word shown in the anti-spam image every times. We have a great new anti-spam mechanism to make it possible to stop spam without the need for the captcha letters.
  • Insert Videos and Last.fm to your sidebar: You can now easily add auto-playing youTube videos or the last.fm player, which plays music from your favourite artists, to your blogs sidebar.

I hope you all enjoy the new features, we've tried to give you everything you could need to bring all of your online media together into your 20six homepage.

What's more all of your existing data, images and layout are safe, it remains as it was unless you change it. If you need any further information, just give me a shout and I'll be happy to help,

See you on the blogs,

Pete

Can someone please help the above blog is not working. I can log into it but it is not displaying properly and all the links appear to have been broken. Can someone please contact me with regards what I can do? I would hate to give up on 20six after all these years of blogging.
