The Multiply Blog

If you haven't noticed it yet, the pleasure of introducing Multiply 2.0 is all ours.

Sure, we've prettied up Multiply, rounded off the pointy corners and such. We won't blame you if that's the first thing you notice. But if you dig a bit deeper, you'll find that there's more to this update than a fresh, new layout.

Instead of sending you off on a scavenger hunt looking for what's new, we'll just list a few of them for you. So with very little further ado, here are some of the wonderful new things you'll find on Multiply:

Smoother visuals. We've rounded off the corners of most of the straight lines we could find lying around the site. We hope this helps make your experience browsing Multiply a smoother, more enjoyable one. But while everyone loves smooth visuals,they're just one part of our new...

Simplified layout. We took a bunch of the stuff that you didn't need to see right now and hid it, reducing the clutter and making Multiply more straightforward. But if you're lost, we've got you covered --just look for our brand new...

Navigation clues. On many pages, you'll find a few "See Also" links pointing you to some of the more common things you may want to, related to the purpose of that page. These will help you find options and features that may not be immediately apparent otherwise. Oh, and you'll definitely want to have a look at our overhauled...

Explore Page. This new-and improved version of the old 'messages' page has been stripped down for simplicity, while at the same time infused with new features. For instance, there are now four message views on this page (check out the new "Full Entries" mode for quick reading!) and the much-requested option to view your messages by posted date, rather than by the last reply. And when you want to post content for your network to explore, just turn to our new...

Quick-posting dashboard. The old 'Post'drop-down was alright, I guess. But this is so much prettier, plus it keeps the tools you need to post content right at your fingertips. Click Post, choose your content type and post. And now, the time on your post will appear consistent with your...

Local timezones. A lot of you requested this. And now, you've got it.(Choose your time zone on your "My Account" page.)

That's right, folks-- fun stuff, all around.

We actually have more that we'd like to show you now, but we'll have to save that for another time. Look for it in the next few weeks... or keep an eye on this blog and we'll be sure to let you know!
