Now Available: 9th Beta Edition of Big Medium 2: The Complete Guide, Revised Widget Cheatsheet
Posted Jul 9, 2007
I’ve just updated the Big Medium 2 book and
widget cheatsheet to keep
them up to date with today’s release of the 2.0b50 update.
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 1, “Welcome”: Updated the feature list and “what’s
new” list.
Chapter 3, “Editing Webpages”: Added info about reviewing pages' edit
history and one-click editing. Updated entries on page preferences and
auto-publishing to reflect minor interface changes to those features.
Chapter 7, “Sections and Content Categories”: Updated the screenshot
for display properties in the section properties section.
Chapter 10, “Widgets”: Updated the <%content%> widget entry;
added info about enabling news feeds in the "News Feeds" section; added
a new "News Gadgets" section.
Appendix C, “Editing Text with the Rich-Text Editor”: Added notes
about using the Firefox spellchecker in the rich-text editor.
The widget cheatsheet is a one-page reference for all
of Big Medium's widgets. The new edition catches up to the v2.0b50
beta version by adding entries for the following widgets:
<%comments%>
<%newsgadget%>
<%sitemap%>
