Web Crossing Releases New 'Content Blob Management' Plug-in
Web Crossing, Inc. announced a new Content Blob Management plug-in, which makes site content management much more accessible to non-technical administrators.
Now for the first time, administrators with no HTML expertise can create access-controlled "blobs" of content that easily drop into Theme cells within the standard Web Crossing Theme manager. The new Content Blob Management plug-in facilitates easy site content management and organization, and installs in a few clicks directly from the "Shop For Plug-ins" link on an administrator's Control Panel. Free for a limited time, additional information and the new Content Blob Management plug-in is available today directly from http://www.webcrossing.com/blobs/.
"Content Blob Management is an ease of customization capability only available with Web Crossing," said Tim Lundeen, president and CEO of Web Crossing, Inc. "With no HTML knowledge required, setting up and moving blobs makes site updates easy. At the same time, full access control makes the customization secure. We're pleased with how the new Content Blob Management plug-in supports Web Crossing's emphasis on easy customization and extensibility without programming."
"I LOVE the content blob management plug-in, and I use it all the time," exclaimed Sylvia Marino, online community consultant and beta tester. "It is elegant, flexible, plus allows me to make a content change in one place and have it appear on hundreds (even thousands) of web pages at once. The inheritance settings are great and match the hierarchy structure that Web Crossing provides. I also like setting Access Lists for a blob to show one promotion or piece of content to one group and a completely different piece of content to another group in the same spot, on the same page."
The new Content Blob Management plug-in requires no knowledge of HTML for elemental text-based content blobs. Creation is also straightforward for blobs that contain images and other elements. Once blobs are created, placing them on a page simply involves choosing the correct blob from a popup menu.
Content blobs can also include Web Crossing Template Language (WCTL) scripting for dynamic content. Optional "blob boxes," which include titles and location-specific layout elements, ensure that repositioned blobs consistently look appropriate to their location. Blobs automatically inherit into subfolders, or can be individually set to never inherit into a subfolder. Complete access control, including host access controls, balance usability and control of the blobs. Additional information and the new Content Blob Management plug-in is available today directly from http://www.webcrossing.com/blobs/. 30.03.2005, Web Crossing, Inc.
