When we launched the tile layout a couple of weeks ago, we promised more to follow soon after. Well, we’re happy to announce another new layout option and a bunch of updates that make making projeqts even easier.
So here goes…
Admin facelift:
We’ve made it a lot simpler to add new content to your projeqt. Now, just drag a new slide of your choice from the panel on the left-hand side of the admin, drop it where you want to place the slide and add your content.
Vertical layout option:
The vertical layout is the latest layout option that we have added, in additional to the original horizontal layout and the new tile layout. This one works well with editorial type content, when you want to emphasize that the freshest content is always on top. This may look similar to many of the blogging platforms out there, but the benefit of using projeqt is that you can pull in live content from many 3rd party services and continue to organize the content in stacks, which makes it a lot more powerful that your run-of-the-mill blog.
Info text:
You can also add text information to any slide now. This is useful for photo captions, video credits or narrating a particular slide, with more flexibility than a title alone. On most themes, the user can see the additional info by clicking the info button under the slide, but on the vertical layout the text will always be visible, allowing the you to give more background and context to your slide.
New sharing options:
Every slide can now be individually shared to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn. The sharing options will be shown under the slide. This means your visitors can share a particular location or slide within your projeqt. And it will probably encourage sharing in general, which will mean more eye-balls on your projeqt.
Sign up with Facebook and Twitter:
This makes life easy for people signing up. All you need to do is to click on the Facebook or Twitter buttons to create an account on projeqt. So go tell your friends to sign-up.
Seriously. Go!
