BlogCFC 5 Beta Announced

Ray just announced blogCFC 5 Beta. For those who do not know, my blog runs blogCFC v4. I wanted to recode the entire thing in MVC, but I chose to wait until blogCFC 5 final is released.

Here's a list of changes.

• An admin. No more stinking design mode.
• Send to Friend. Send blog entries to a friend. Or to an enemy. Whomever.
• Preview mode on articles.
• Category SES URLs.
• Related Entries (Thanks to Jeff Coughlin and Charlie Griefer).
• Hey look, a pure CSS layout! Not here of course, but you can see it over at the BlogCFC blog. The admin is NOT pure CSS. I may ask Scott to take a look once I feel the admin is done. The CSS work was all done by Scott Stroz, so please thank him and visit his wish list. (His wish list, and Jeff and CJ's can be found in the word doc/pdf in the install folder. PLEASE thank them before me. I've been thanked!)
• New "Orange Crush" visual theme. Hmmmm. Orangy!
• More cow bell.
• Admin lets you quickly delete comments, trackbacks. You can also edit settings (although this is a bit dangerous). This is a nice way to update your spam list.
• Draft mode. It's not really called draft, but you can write an entry and leave the Released flag to false.
• Delayed entries really work now. Seriously, I mean it. It works.
• If you searched for poo, and clicked More Entries, it registered as a new search hit. It won't anymore. I still register a search hit if you follow it from the stats page.
• If you use an image as an enclosure, it will automatically be placed in the entry, top left. This was a user-submitted idea.
