One of the very coolest things about working with an open-source project like mojoPortal is that you don’t always have to wait until the next release to see what new features are going to be available. If you’re clever, you can follow the check-in notes on the repository sites like CodePlex. Let’s see how we can get the latest, and look at what new features are coming soon.

First, let’s go over to the mojoPortal Codeplex site: you can always access it via the mojoPortal “Downloads” area as well. Once you’ve clicked into the Codeplex repository, click the “Source Code” tab. Click on the “History” link below that tab; give it a moment to load, and then you’ll see three columns: the one to the far right, labeled “Comments”, is the one we’re wanting to scan.

mojoPortal Tips: Even Better Blog Features!

Last Updated on Monday, 7 January 2013 12:00 Written by Carole Bennett Monday, 7 January 2013 12:00

One of the things I love most about using mojoPortal, is that when a feature might work better when formatted differently, or presented in a different spot, Joe Audette and his team are aces at implementing changes for improving the product. The latest feature to get this attention is the Blog feature on mojoPortal. Here’s a sneak preview of what’s in store.

After last month’s post on the new multi-author capabilities of the mojoPortal blog feature, I asked some questions about additional functionality on the mojoPortal forum. This led to Joe Audette, the lead architect, making some usability improvements to the blog. These improvements will be rolled out in the next version, but are currently available for download on the Codeplex site.
