In addition to the basic text-based templates we have always had in the service you will find a wide variety of new professionally designed website templates. *New* Template Gallery Categories! With the addition of the new templates to the Gallery, we also re-worked the way the Templates are viewed. We have added several new categories so that you can narrow your search and find what you are looking quickly and easily.

September 15, 2004 - Bravenet Counters are Popup-free!*New* We've Removed Pop-Ups From Counters! A few months back, we added pop-ups to our free counter service to help us cover costs, but the members have spoken and we have listened.

We hope you understand our goal, but we also want to keep everyone happy and enjoying Bravenet's fantastic services. And guess what? As an extra bonus for our members, we're adding more counter images so that you can pick from an even greater variety of cool custom counters!

September 2, 2004 - New BraveJournal.com Feature!*New* Web Journal Search feature! We have been making changes and additions to our BraveJournal Web Journal community site and here is another great feature to add to the list. We have implemented a new keyword search by country option! Now you can search for your favorite topics by keyword AND narrow your search to only those Journals from a specific country.

Your search results will show all of the corresponding matches for dog in only our Canadian Journals! We have also added a new Browse by Flag option.

We have been hard at work upgrading some of our services and service manager pages. Some of our service managers have been getting a new Look and Feel editor which should help make editing and creating your service color schemes and layouts a lot easier. The Editor features a tabbed interface that you just click through to set up your service look. So far, feedback has been very positive and we are quite pleased with the results. Check it out if you get the chance, and let us know what you think! Every service manager has a Service Feedback form in the Service Utilities section that you can use to send us comments and service suggestions. We love to hear from Members, so don't be shy about using it! August 18, 2004 - New Web Journal Feature!*New* Archiving Option Implemented! Our Web Journal service has proven to be extremely popular with our Members, and now we have one more reason for you to love your Bravenet Web Journal! Initially the Journal service allowed access to as much as a year's worth of postings through our handy built-in Calendar feature which shows the last year and which days had entries made. However, as many of you have imported entries from other blogging services, it became very important that we gave you access to all those entries older than a year. So, we have introduced a more verbose listing of entries for easy retrieval and perusal! This List contains ALL of your Web Journal entries, regardless of how long ago you made them! The Web Journal uses the standard Calendar view, for Archived Posts, by default and will continue to do so if you want to continue using it. If you would like to switch your Journal over to the new layout style, go into your Web Journal service manager and select the General Settings option (in the Journal Control panel section) and then select the List option. Make sure you save your changes at the bottom of the page. August 8, 2004 - New Guestbook Preview Feature!*New* Preview Guestbook Posts We have had a very busy summer! Over the last few weeks we have been hard at work updating the Service Manager pages in your member accounts and updating some of our services. We are very excited to announce that our world famous Bravenet Guestbooks now have a feature that allows you to preview and approve ALL of the entries in your Guestbook before they are displayed in your book! This was the number one most requested new feature for the Guestbook service and we are delighted to have made it available to our Members. The Preview feature is now a selectable option in your Guestbook service manager. You can leave your Guestbook in the 'classic' mode with no entry preview, or enable it in your setup with a click. Once enabled, you can read all of your latest Guestbook entries and approve or delete them quickly and easily. We have a lot more service changes and additions in the works based on the feedback you have provided us with. Be sure to use the Service Feedback option in each of the Service Managers to let us know how you think we can improve your services! July 14, 2004 - New Counter Service Manager!*New* Counter Stats Easier to Manage In response to Member feedback, we have made some significant changes to the Hit Counter service manager pages. Your counters will be much easier to manage and customize with a new and much more intuitive interface. We have simplified and streamlined the whole process of counter creation and customization. Check out the new management layout in your Bravenet Member Account. We recently added a Service Feedback option in each of the service managers, and the helpful suggestions we have been getting from Members have been really great! Keep those suggestions and comments coming! June 22, 2004 - New Web Journal Features Implemented!*New* Web Journal Gets RSS Feeds and more! There is a new addition to the Community Bar at the top of all Bravenet Web Journals... yes, by popular demand we have implemented RSS Feeds for all of the Bravenet Journals. If you have an RSS Reader you can access the feed via a special file called feed.rss: For example: http://membersat.bravejournal.com/feed.rss The feeds will work with both your primary and secondary Web Journal URL. We have also implemented a 'date-back' option that allows you to set the date for your entries to any date you prefer. For those of you who missed a few days posting and want to go back and add an entry for a specific day, now you can set the date you missed and the Journal entry will be posted under that date! Also new is a new tabbed option box at the bottom of your Post Entry page. The various Journal entry options are now displayed in an easier to use tabbed box, just click on the tabs to access the options instead of scrolling forever to get to the Post Entry submit button. All of these great new features are as a result of your Member feedback and suggestions... so keep the great ideas coming... We want you to have the best Web Journals on the Internet.

We have added a set of Journal Themes, streamlined the service code to make it run faster, and improved the functionality of the Color Scheme selector we created for the service. You will find a new set of Themes with a simpler, cleaner design in the Web Journal Service manager. For those of you who enjoy a minimalistic approach to your page design, you will love these new styles. The new Themes are a great starting point for members who want to really customize their own Journals, without having to start totally from scratch. We also made some changes to the Bravenet Journal Community page coding, to speed up and smooth out the display of all of our favorite Journal links. You will find the Community site (Bravenet Journal Community) loads quite a bit faster and more efficiently now. The amazing color scheme creator we added to the Journal service, has been revamped a bit to provide greater flexibility and control over the color scheme it generates for your page. If you tried the selector previously and found the results a bit limiting, give it another try... we are sure you will be surprised at the new functionality!
