Recent System Updates - Too many for one headline!

Our developers are unbelievably and hard-working! They almost never sleep, they basically live in the office, they're basically thinking 24/7 about Jimdo, and about ways they can improve Jimdo for you. We haven't talked a lot about their work behind the scenes, since it's not really new features or new designs. But now we've thought about it more, and we've decided that it'd be cool to share and recognize the little things they're doing to improve Jimdo. After all, the devil is in the details! So we're taking a moment to say thank you and recognize the work our developers are doing!

1) New Help Section in the Site Admin

If you need help in editing your Jimdo site, the three places to look are in the Forum, the Jimdo Help articles, and the support team. Just recently, we added the Help Center in the Site Admin. As you can see on the right, a help window opens if you click on the question mark. The window has direct links to our FAQ, the Jimdo Help articles, the forum, some video tutorials, as well as a contact form through which you can reach the support team. The contact form even has different subject lines, depending on what you need help for.

2) Jimdo supports these browsers

Important! We're talking about the browser with which you can edit your Jimdo site. The visitors to your site can, of course, use any other web browser (or an older version). So, these are the ones you can use to change and update your Jimdo site:

  • Internet Explorer (version 6 and higher)
  • Firefox (version 3 and higher)
  • Safari (version 4 and higher)
  • Opera (version 10 and higher)
  • Chrome (version 2 and higher)

 

3) Site Admin - Expand and Retract

As useful and engaging as it is, sometimes the Site Admin gets in the way when you're trying to edit your Jimdo site...

If you click on close at the bottom of the Site Admin (see the screenshot), it rolls up out of the way, until you need it again. It will reappear again if you need it, just click on open.

4) More Possibilities for the Copyright Footer

Until just recently, your copyright always had to have the (c) in it. That's no longer automatically in there, so you have more freedom to determine what your footer and copyright lines look like.

  • Multiple-line footers
  • Use custom HTML
  • Linking from the footer section


Here's how to edit it: go to Settings, the Website subsection, then click the Copyright Bar icon. You can see it clearly in the screenshot:

 

5) BMP image files now usable in the Emotion Header!

Die headline says it all - up until now you couldn't use images in the bitmap (.bmp) format in the emotion header. If you want to read more about the recent updates to the emotion header, take a look at this blog post.

6) Flash Image Galleries - Sorting and Canceling

When you're creating a new image gallery (more precisely, when you're uploading the pictures) the sorting works correctly  now. And now you can cancel your photo uploads at any time (that didn't always work before).

    What do you mean exactly? You can read more about copyright on Wikipedia if that might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright
