I'm excited to announce a new set of features we rolled out recently: much more powerful blogging features, a fresher, cleaner Weebly interface, and a whole bunch of smaller improvements.

New Blogging Features

First up, we've released an entirely new set of blogging features. Once you're editing your blog, you'll notice a "Manage Blog" button. From here, you can moderate all of the comments for your blog in one fell swoop, and move into the blog settings area, where you can choose to close comments on a blog-wide basis, leave them open, or have them be moderated.

There is also a new post settings area, where you can initiate trackbacks and set the comment moderation settings for each individual post.

Finally, you can also change the post date by clicking on the date when editing a post, and set it to anytime in the past or future.

Cleaner interface

We've also made a significant amount of improvements around the elements interface. The ugly blue boxes that surrounded all elements are now gone, and your site should appear in the editor exactly how it will when published. The blue box surrounding each element that allows you to move the element and delete it now only shows up when hovering over the element.

Also, we've added the ability to move elements from one page to another by clicking on the arrow in the top left hand side of the blue surrounding box.

And more!

We've added quite a few other requested features, including the ability to open links in a new window, constant improvements to our infrastructure to make Weebly faster, an autoplay option on the Weebly audio element, and many other bug fixes and improvements.

As always, we'd like to thank all of your for using Weebly and providing incredibly helpful feedback! You can always suggest and vote for new features by visiting the Weebly slinkset page.

We'd also like to especially thank those users who buy a domain or purchase Weebly pro -- we're working very hard to provide the easiest, fastest, most powerful way for you to create a website and blog out there, and we appreciate your support in helping us achieve that objective.

04/15/2009 8:28am

Thank you so much for the new features! I was very happily surprised last night when I saw that I could set a link to open in a new window! And I am thrilled that I can move elements from one page to another -- I'm always refining and changing my mind on placement, so this is huge for me! Thanks so much again. You have a great company and I'm glad I choose it and the upgrade.

great!!!

Jake
04/15/2009 2:26pm

Well done! The new blog management is great, I have being testing it out and it works super!

One slight issue with the new look interface is that closing a element can't be done when the two column feature is used inside of another two column, like the close button is hidden under the other interface.-Just a thought though.

Keep the wonderful updates coming!!!

04/15/2009 5:16pm

okay firstly fantastic site so easy to work with it took me 15 mins to creat what i know call my page,,, i wanted to know if they're is a way of joining weebly user rooms e.g addies and such things,, then i wanted to know is there going to be a chatroom on the site possibly for user to chat share content ect maybe even in room chatrooms so we could have visitors chat in our rooms

04/15/2009 7:49pm

Weebly has been a huge help. I'm using it to create a web site as a school project. Great ease of use for the novice (like me.)

04/15/2009 8:18pm

Weebly, you're amazing! haha. Nice new features...I am HIGHLY impressed with this service! Please keep up the incredible work!!!!

04/16/2009 12:04am

thanks for this kind of information. this site is simply amazing among others

04/16/2009 9:53am

GREAT JOB WEEBLY ON THE CONTINUED UPGRADES!! I think the featured website of the day is a great idea. One question?? Are these drawn at random, or do you just keep sending requests hoping you will get back... just curious!

04/16/2009 10:59am

I love this. Great job, and keep up the good work!!!!

04/16/2009 2:36pm

You guys have great support and customer service. Keep up the good work!

Amazing work!!! Weebly is getting better and better by the day. I'm really happy i chose Weebly. :) Thank you.

04/16/2009 4:11pm

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE YOUTUBE?

04/16/2009 4:20pm

Good for Guitar Hero Universe, but I wish we didnt have to resubscribe to weebly pro. There should be an unlimited package.

Jay
04/16/2009 4:45pm

Weebly is great! Thanks for the updates!

Josh
04/16/2009 5:14pm

04/16/2009 7:19pm

Thanks a lot weebly, you've done a great job, I hope you'll do better and better.

04/17/2009 2:28am

Thats really good they came out with this. The blogger is way better now!

04/17/2009 2:46am

This is all really cool, but what if my blog gets a lot of traffic? Will it be shut down? How much space and bandwidth does Weebly give?

04/17/2009 6:43am

The "move to" feature is a life saver. I was able to move my elements to a different page with just a click. Great!

04/17/2009 6:46am

I absolutely love what you've done with the Blog feature. I moved my blog from livejournal to my site back in December and my traffic is WAY up.

Thanks for making such a clean, powerful setup!

04/17/2009 9:07am

Any improvements are excellent. I am very pleased with how things have been going with my website. Weebly is the best out there!

Oh my goodness!! Thank you for the ability to move things from one page to another!! I am a teacher and try to keep everything on the site so parents and families far away can see things from the whole year. This new feature helps keep the home page a little cleaner. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have recommended your site to MANY people. You guys are great!!

04/17/2009 4:17pm

04/17/2009 4:29pm

Great!!

04/17/2009 7:34pm

04/17/2009 8:48pm

All the new features are GREAT! Thank you for making Weebly so user friendly and clean enough to use for business purposes. I am still hoping you guys will -hopefully in the near future- enable some for of slide-show photo gallery, or something similar to flash. As a photographer, this is very important because my visitors do not have to click on every image to open the larger photo, or have to scroll down the page to continue to see more images.

Please enable a slide-show photo gallery or something similar to that.

Once again, thank you for all your work!

04/18/2009 8:57am

04/18/2009 9:41am

Great job, but I am still waiting for the support of Chinese characters in the category field. At this moment, typing Chinese characters as category will simply be ignored...

04/18/2009 5:09pm

Please please please make a facility where you can copy an entire page and make a new page with the same content and then be able to edit the new page as desired. this is really great when people use the same set of elements and arrangement in all their pages

04/18/2009 6:42pm

Hey people ,
This is the best web site hosting and design I have ever seen ,weebly will go the distance and leave it's competitors far behind.

I will myself promote weebly among my friends.

04/19/2009 4:18pm

is there any way that you are able to make accounts for your website's blog?

Scott
04/19/2009 7:58pm

Hi I have a good idea for you that I thought would ice the cake and for sure make you the best. I would like to be able to make a clone of weebly and have my own branded website builder for my customers creatable in the affiliate program backend. You guy would get so many sales. Its a win win situation for all of us.

04/20/2009 2:32am

New updates and features, you can now manage a blog better.

Love new changes. I created my site in 24 hours using most of your new features. Problem can't get info@weebly.com to response to my offline questions. I put up a non-profit site and a service site last year. The service site is paying for weeblypro and domain. My question is about SEO and weebly. Please have someone respond to my emails. Thanks again for the great improvements.

You are always getting better but is missing a basic thing a FTP client/server

04/25/2009 10:26am

Thanks for the great work. Keep it up.

04/25/2009 3:57pm

I love the features and upadtes happening here. the big thing that's stopping me moving my blog across is the lack of support for Windows Live Writer and other tools to let me create content offline for later publishing.

I'd also love to see support for Silverlight Streaming and their adaptive streaming for video

04/27/2009 1:54am

Yipee!!!

thanks for making blogging easier everytime ;)

kudos!

Laura
04/27/2009 12:53pm

The new updates are great, I'm especially excited about being able to change the date of a post.

I'm having one problem though, I'm unable to apply formatting to my text areas anymore. I'm not copy & pasting - however I'm no longer given any options to left/right/justify align my text and other such options.

Anyone else having the problems? Using Firefox - thanks!

04/28/2009 7:41pm

Weebly is the best free website.

Hi Guys;

I really like Weebly. I would love to be able to have a section on the blog area to rate the comment on a 1-5 star scale and have the rating summarized. ie. average rating 4 stars with 34 votes.

Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Mark

05/02/2009 2:28pm

Great job, Weebly! And to those who suggest that the pro account features should also be free...how do you propose the web developers of Weebly should get paid??

05/03/2009 12:31pm

Thanks a bunch! the comment moderation feature is for sure my favorite and will make my life a whole lot easier.

05/05/2009 2:04am

05/05/2009 7:43am

I want to say a big "Thank You" to the management of weebly, on this welcoming development.

Everyone should be using this site! Thank you for such a simple solution!!

Nick
05/07/2009 11:52pm

Weebly should allow admin comments to be made- so they appear in a different colour.

i just joined this site and i'm glad that i registered! the features are very nice, and much user-friendly than other social networks!

05/13/2009 5:38pm

Thanks for all the upgrades. I kept getting a glitch when I tried to retroactively post a blog. I was trying to get my blog posts off of tripod and onto weebly but it wasn't letting me set it for a past date, so I had to add to the post to indicate when it was originally posted.

05/13/2009 6:43pm

I got ahold of the Wordpress 2.7.1 interface and it's smooth, but this looks awesome too! I'm wondering how this caould be free, with the amount of work theat you guys at Weebly must do to get it so somooth in appearance!

05/13/2009 6:52pm

Thanks.. It's really useful.. The upgrade being useful for us.. :)

05/14/2009 2:51pm

05/18/2009 2:10am

05/26/2009 1:39pm

These features are so cool! I feel like a real blogger now. They'll definitely make my blog maintenance a lot simpler. Thank you!!

06/03/2009 1:52am

One slight issue with the new look interface is that closing a element can't be done when the two column feature is used inside of another two column, like the close button is hidden under the other interface.

06/07/2009 9:27am

Nice. I've been hearing more and more about this. And since I practically FORCE my clients to Blog, I'm gonna have to give this a closer look.
THANKS

06/08/2009 7:03am

I'm so glad I bought Weebly Pro. The service at Weebly is fantastic. It's so rare to find a company that makes you feel like your needs are important! Marvellous. Thank you so much.

06/09/2009 10:06am

great job. I have been a long time user and these are absolutely fantastic! thank you!

06/10/2009 2:48am

Makes using webbly a lot more easier especially for newbies in the field of blogging.

06/16/2009 7:19am

Hi Weebly

A question for you, why do You Tube videos not show up or play now in Internet Explorer? The videos show up and play when using Mozilla Firefox but do not show at all when using Internet Explorer.

What has Weebly done here. I used to think you were fantastic but now am sorely disappointed with this matter playing a prominent role in my thoughts.

I have also aimed to e mail you on a number of ocassions with regard to this problem and to date have had no reply.

A reply would be appreciated.

06/17/2009 12:35pm

Thank you for the updates! I love Weebly!

06/18/2009 10:03pm

Great new stuff! Keep it up!

06/30/2009 7:02pm

More functions can be added?Like arranging the pictures and the post in a proper proportion.

06/30/2009 7:07pm

The "manage your blog"is worth trying.I have used it which makes the blog look better.Thanks.

I have a question for you... I have a blog with blogger and although I love that I can mess with the HTNL to create personalized backgrounds, I am not such a fan of everything being on the same page... So I stumbled across weebly... amazing! But, 2 questions... Is there a way I can have a running blog / link list? This is the best way for me to keep track of my friends blogs, by having a link to theirs on mine. 2nd and more importantly, is there a way I can make it private? My blogger blog is private, which I love, because quite frankly I don't live close to family and want to share stories, pictures, and other things with them, but I don't want to share it with the whole world... and bloging is not something I am willing to pay for... help?

07/22/2009 8:12am

COOL! : )

So does this mean I can EDIT a link that I created earlier to make it open in a new window..?.. that is, without having to recreate the link from scratch?

Sweet new update. Although I'm new to this site I'm starting to love it. Keep up the good work.

I love the new features. However, you guys should add some more backgrounds. It would also be great if you could visit my website and give us some suggestions! Thanks. :)

I like this feature, I have a Holloween costume store. Haveing the tool to screen the blog makes it safer or more child/family friendly. I can cut out the bad stuff before it hits the site.
Nice work!
Thanks
