Hip-hop

I just released a ton of changes to the blogging interface on b-boys, to make it more like a “real” blogging system.

The changes are basically the following:

• Save as draft / publish / unpublish
• Save post and keep editing
• Cleaned up editing interface
• Improved link structure (added some breadcrumb navigation so people don’t get lost)
• View blogs by tag, both globally and within a your blog
• Reworked top-level tab and menus navigation to make them more user-friendly
• Added more user-friendly messages on the login page, and the submit a link page
• Fixed a few small bugs

A friend drew it to my attention that it’s not obvious to users that they can submit their own articles; I’m working on a solution to that to see if we can make the site a little more obvious and user friendly. Today I reworked some of the messages here and there to try to explain things better; as always your feedback is welcome if you have any idea about how we can improve things more.
