Element Fusion

We added a couple features this past week that we think you'll like.

The first new feature is one that will let people with the technical know-how to add additional code or styling information to your page's header.  If you know HTML, you'll know what the rest of this paragraph means.  If, in the likely chance you don't know HTML, just know that this gives you a lot more power to tweak your site to your liking, should you enlist our help or somebody who knows HTML.  If you edit the Page Settings of any of the pages on your website, click on the Advanced tab, and scroll to the bottom.  You'll see a new section called "Additional Header".  Anything you enter into that textbox will be inserted into that page's HEAD tags, after the system's standard style and script includes.  This gives you the ability to override any of our standard style definitions, add additional meta tags, or add any additional Javascript.

The second new feature is an oft-requested one, and one that we use on our own site.  The Blog element lets anybody subscribe to your blog/news posts by using an RSS reader (like Bloglines or Google Reader).  Right now, our CMS is happy to serve up any RSS requests asked of it.  However, there are services out there that will help you manage the RSS feeds you own.  We use FeedBurner to serve our RSS requests, as it lets us track how many subscribers we have to our blog.  So, if you want to override the Blog element's built-in RSS feed, simply specify an alternative RSS URL in your Blog's settings.
