News Blog - For April 2009

1. New Admin Area Coming Soon

   Thus far, AtomSite has relied on the built-in AtomPub support to allow LiveWriter to manage posts.  This has worked out great so far and allowed us to focus on other area's of the system.  However, a CMS/Blog Engine isn't complete until it has a built-in, easily accessible administration area.

   You can expect AtomSite's administration area to be heavily influenced from WordPress.  They've done such a great job on their administration that we are borrowing their best ideas.

   The WordPress screenshot is from 2.8 beta and our screenshot is from an alpha.  Obviously the icons, menu, and layout need work.  We are hoping that for the 1.0 release, we'll have:

   • Dashboard (no drag drop yet)
     • Right Now
     • Recent Comments
     • Incoming Links (next release)
     • Quick Publish (next release)
     • Recent Drafts
     • AtomSite News (next release)
   • Entries
     • Filtering (next release)
     • Paging
     • Inline editing
     • Bulk
   • Annotations
     • Filtering (next release)
     • Paging
   • Plug-ins
     • Enable/Disable
