Blog EntryComing Soon: New 'Customize Site' modeJan 12, '07 12:29 PM
for everyone
Way back during the sweltering South Florida summer days of last July, we introduced something actually quite cool -- a completely new way to re-arrange the content on your Multiply page: simple dragging and dropping.

But now, customizing your site is getting smarter. With this update (it's coming very soon), we've reined in the best of the "new" way of customizing your page... and made it even better, with a dedicated 'customize' mode for modifying your homepage. Observe, an example homepage as it appears using the "Boxes" layout, after clicking the handy, all-in-one "Customize Site" link:

That's right, you'll be presented with controls for all of the editable elements on the page, from your content boxes to your headshot. Handy links for further customization (themes, layouts, CSS) are available at the top of the page.

Users of the "Linear" layout style won't find as many bells and whistles for customizing their site, but the elements that can be tweaked (headshot, welcome message, page title) are now as easy to change as in "Boxes" mode.

Looks great. I think the added functionality will definitely open up the doors to additional themes. I'm definitely looking forward to some better, professionally designed themes that we can implement.

rezashakiba wrote on Jan 14, '07, edited on Jan 14, '07
Oh it sounds very nice to separate Design (Customize) Mode from Normal Mode. Then the poor boxes and controls should continue their sleeping (and may dreaming) and our Mouse don't disturb their sweet sleep until we really need to wake them up: "Hey wake up, we need to customize you!" :D

Would it be possible to enable HTML in ôur blogs and in the comments in the future?
That would be great ! ^^
You can use HTML in blogs and comments already. Just make sure you don't have any javascript or css in your HTML.
fir3torqu3 wrote on Jan 16, '07
looks cool... only one thing worries me, will it affect the current customization we made?

Hopefully this is what i've been waiting for. I browsed the "pimp my profile" site, but they all were for friendsters and hi5. It was easy for friendster members to modify their site, as easy as copy and paste. So I'm hoping that Multiply will be as easy as them also in terms of modifying profile. Looking forward to seeing the cool things from Multiply.

i cant edit it..
Same problem here! They change one thing and stuff up another. Now I can't edit my blogs, music, videos, etc. I like being able to select what features on my home page. At the moment I can't. Gone too is the ability to select a song for my home page.

It's about time you correct a "bug" whom most users complain..the "missing EDIT consule" on the right corner. For www.multiply.com, I gave you 5 thumbs up...Goodluck!
rooxx wrote on Jan 18, '07, edited on Jan 18, '07
the new "customize" is a good thing, but when I move "music" on top, it apears on bottom and so on... works for me a little hard, but I'm patient :)
I would like to see something like this: when I want to customize my page, options: 1. Music, 2. Photos, 3. links. or any other order, because moving didn't work for me as I hoped... at least for the moment :(

hayleytan wrote on Jan 19, '07
i am facing a couple of problem after the upgrade.
1. when i try to type something in the welcome message... all the wording cannot go to the new line. since like all the wording wrap up together and is very messy.
2. when i try to upload new pictures all the number for the pictures is not in sequence after uploaded.
hope you guys can fix the problem.

On edit mode, the thumbs don't appear, only a grey box. And the setting options (rotate, set cover album...) don´t appear too.

That's the same problem I am having with my home page. Only the Site Name and the Photo has the "Edit" link on it. When I tried editing the site name, the marquee and the glitter HTML that I used was not displayed anymore. : (

Help!

PS: I can't even change the homepage music that I put in there before the update.
