New Year! New Features!

Happy New Year everyone! By Pelé's golden jersey - it's been a while since our last major update!

We've been hard at work, and are proud to announce the release of some cool new features. You bloggers and video junkies will especially like these:

Blog Customization

1) Top of the list is our blog theme customization and management interface. This awesome new feature can be found on My Blogs -> Settings & Layout -> Manage Themes. From here, you can select from our large and ever increasing range of pre-designed blog templates. Most importantly, you have total control over how you want your blog to look.

By clicking "Customize Theme" you will have access to the stylesheet and templates for your blog and blog posts. How cool is that? Be sure to read the associated Help file for more information on how to use the stylesheet and template editor.

Blog Widgets

2) Blogs now have widgets (little informative sections on your blog like "About Me" and "My Friends"), which you can drag and drop to easily change the look of your blog. You can even hide widgets you don't want, or choose who you'd like to see them. Sweeet!

New Video Player

3) We've polished up our video player to give you sharp new interface - it's now easier than ever to share, embed and watch your favourite football videos.

Revamped Live Scores Page

4) Our Live Scores page has been revamped to be even more user friendly than ever. Navigate quickly and easily to your desired team or league.

User Voting on Content

5) On the Throw-Ins page, you'll notice a new streamlined look and feel to the voting interface for submitted stories. In addition to this, we have also rolled out the same type of user voting on all kinds of other content as well, including Photos, Videos, Blog posts, and even comments on blog posts, videos etc.

This gives you, the fans, lots of opportunity to make your voice heard by voting up (or down) any kind of content on the site that you find good (or maybe not so good...).

Keep Me Logged In

6) Last and not least is one of our personal favourites - the "Keep me logged in" feature! This option is available on all login areas. Once selected, you will always be logged in to OleOle, even after you close your web browser. If you want to prevent your browser from keeping you logged in (e.g. a good idea if you are using a public terminal such as at an Internet cafe), just click the "Log Out" link in the top right of every page.

Stay tuned for some images and demo videos of these great new features, as well as lots more good stuff to come from your faithful team here at OleOle!
