EverWeb 2.0 Preview: Easy Blog Post Editing!

October 30th, 2016

The new, upcoming, EverWeb 2.0 will include a rich blogging environment as it’s marquee feature. The Blog Posts Editor will have all of the features that bloggers expect. For ease of use, the most commonly used features can be found on the Editor Window Toolbar.

 

EverWeb 2.0's Blog Editor Toolbar

EverWeb’s Blog Post Toolbar lets you format text in a number of different ways.

 

Hover your mouse over any of the buttons in the Toolbar for a description of the button and any keyboard shortcut that it may have. The first button on the Toolbar is for Paragraph Formatting. You can choose one of four levels of paragraph heading, ‘code’ and ‘normal’ paragraph styles. the next buttons are the standard bold, italic and underline buttons which use the standard Cmd+B, I or U shortcut keys if you prefer.

The ‘A’ button lets you quickly select one of six predefined web safe fonts or the Fonts Panel if you need to use a font style that is not listed. Use the ‘T!’ button to specify the font size you want to use. The drop down lists font sizes from 8 point to 96 point. If you need other sizes you can use the Fonts Panel. Next to the ‘T!’ button is the ‘Droplet’ button where you can easily change the text color and text background using a palette of color swatches.

Aligning your text is as easy as you would expect with the ‘Align’ button. Choose either left aligned (default), centered, right aligned and even justified text!

 

The EverWeb 2.0 Blog Posts Editor Toolbar

Use the Blog Posts Editor Toolbar to quickly add ordered and unordered lists, change fonts, colors, text alignment and more!

 

The Quote Levels button lets you quickly indent or outdent quotes with vertical quote bars indicating the level of quotes as you would expect.

Finally, you can add video content to your blog at the touch of a button directly from the video’s source.

In the screenshot above, we formatted the blog post text just using the Toolbar. We then added an image to the post which was then set ‘inline’ and right aligned so that the ordered list to the left of it flowed properly.

The Toolbar and the Editor Window in the above screen shot are where you add text and images to your blog post. Below the line is the Blog Editor Preview Window which shows how the post will look when published. The Preview Window acts like a Master Page so, for example, if you add a background color or social media button in the Preview Window, it will appear on all of your blog posts.

The Toolbar is just one quick and easy way to add format your blog posts. There’s a lot more to the Blog Posts Editor, so stay tuned as we will have more information soon!

    Totally excited about this! Been waiting for this a long time. Will there be a custom social media share option or widget so that the blog posts can be shared to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, and others? Also, what about a widget for google ads? Currently I just use the html widget and add the code from my google adsense account, which really isn’t hard, but was just wondering.

    Thanks Tony! We’re excited also!

    You will be able to easily add social share buttons, we’ll be sure to add a write up about that.

    A Google Ads widget is not yet included but we can certainly add it. Thanks so much for the feedback!

    Thanks for the message! We’re excited about 2.0 and want to deliver it to all our users as soon as possible, so we’re finishing up work on it at the moment and ironing out some final bugs so I hope the wait won’t be too long.

    allot of us were waiting to see it in the software but what we all wanna know is:

    Hi Ana

    Thanks for the comment! We really excited about this release and hope to deliver it soon to the EverWeb community. We are currently in the late beta test stage, so hope to have some news soon. The best place to keep up to date is either on the Discussion Forum (I see that you have been there!) or here.

    Awesome feature ! This will require a totally new designed web page for me !

  8. Terry Says:

    I notice you’ve added ordered and unordered lists for blogging. Have they been added for text boxes on the non-blog (regular website) pages? It’s a feature that’s been missing for some time.

  9. Simon Says:

    Hi Terry

    Thanks for the comment. At the moment the unordered and ordered lists are only available in the blogging part of EverWeb. I’ll forward your comments to the development team as I know this is an often requested feature.
