In our ongoing strive for simplicity, we’ve updated the page editing interface, making it easier and more intuitive to design your Pages and Websites. Just ‘click and edit’, that’s the idea.

So what changed exactly?
We’ve simplified the toolbar, thereby reducing the number of tabs from 7 to 4.
The ‘Text’ tab now contains a subsection of the different text elements on your Page (base text, title, menu). The ‘Layout’ tab is removed and is now part of the ‘Page’ tab. You’ll notice this clear arrangement works more logical.
New toolbar

Click and edit
A second major change are the new frames around each Page element (see above screenshot). These frames clearly indicate all the different elements on your Page, and show you which element you are editing. But more importantly: when you click an element, it automatically switches to the right tab, with all the settings you can change for this element. Handy.
New text editor
There’s a new text editor too, with buttons to make text bold, italic or underlined, and to create a link. We still use Textile, as it’s faster and cleaner than rich text editors.
New thumbnail sizes
We’ve also added two more thumbnail sizes: a ‘medium square’ and a ‘small’ one.
We hope you like it! And feedback is greatly appreciated.

I’m glad you are constantly improving an already easy-to-use product. Thanks for all your work!

Thanks for improving viewbook. I tried the new text editor to create a link. Unfortunately the result wasn’t how I expect it should be:
“link naar viewbook”:http://viewbook.com

We still use Textile for the text formatting. A link indeed looks like “Name of the link”:http://www.example.com. If you are not in edit mode you see a link is created.

Do you support full Textile?
I seem to remember there was some things not supported, like lists.

Hi Rien,
I tried. In the edit mode it looks fine to me. But unfortunately, when I open the screen it shows the complete rule:

@Gustaaf, we’ve just added Textile support for the footer. Thanks for letting us know.
@Oliver We do support most Textile options, indeed not everything is supported. We’ll make an overview of supported Textile tags soon.
Comment by Rien — July 14, 2010 @ 10:52 am
Please do such a list, would be nice.

When I add an album to my home page, how do I remove it again without recreating the entire page again?
Adding a remove album or an X feature would be really helpful for people that rotate their front page albums.
Thanks

@Emmett You can click once on the album and then click delete in the main toolbar. This will remove only the album from the page.
If any trouble, you can mail me at support@viewbook.com
Cheers,
Alrik
