Now Available: 10th Beta Edition of Big Medium 2: The Complete Guide

E-mail this page Print this page

Posted Aug 7, 2007

I’ve just updated the Big Medium 2 book to reflect the features and changes introduced by today’s release of Big Medium 2.0b51 “Carbon Copy.”

Big Medium 2: The Complete Guide is a comprehensive guide for writers, editors, designers and administrators. It runs about 200 pages. The new edition includes these changes:

  • Chapter 8, “Themes and Site Designs”: Added sections on saving, removing and sharing your custom themes.

  • Chapter 9, “Templates”: Added a new section, “Good hygiene with your external files.” This section recommends keeping all files for your custom design in a single directory, to make it easier to save your design in the theme library.

  • Chapter 10, “Widgets”: Expanded the entry for the <%sitemap%> widget to explain cases when Big Medium will not build a search engine sitemap.

  • Chapter 15, “Managing Multiple Sites”: Added a new section, “Cloning a site.”

  • Appendix A, “Installing Big Medium”: Added caution not to delete the bmadmin/themes/_custom directory when upgrading to a new version of Big Medium.

  • Appendix D, “Editing Text with Markdown”: Added a notice that, when adding your own HTML to Markdown text, you should not indent the opening or closing tags of the enclosing block-level element.
