Big plans for 2010!
As we enter a new decade, the Viviti team is hard at work preparing a new batch of goodies to kick off the new year! Keep an eye on our Releases page to watch for developments as they post them.
A few recent updates of note:
- 8 new themes!
- Keyword and page specific meta tags are now available.
- Improved buffering feedback of the Audio Player Component.
- Several improvements to our Wordpress blog post importer.
We're looking forward to rolling out many more much anticipated features throughout the year, to make this one the best ever for Viviti's members.
Here are just a few in our sights for 2010:
- Domain registration!
- Improved Hostname Mapping tools to make configuring external domains easier than ever!
- Improved Help system within the builder!
- Site content backup functionality!
Of course, this is just a short list of big new developments to come, as we work to make our builder the best out there. We have lots of other great stuff planned for this year, and as always, you'll hear all about it here on our Blog.
Stay tuned for an exciting new year at Viviti.com!

Fantastic fall err.. winter updates!
The snow season has finally come! As some of you may have already noticed between snowboarding and skiing we recently put live a bunch of new changes. Here are some of the more distinguished ones:
- 5 exciting new themes available in multiple layouts (Jungleland, Cerulean Elegance, Fluid Solution, Warped and Business Company Red!)
- Added basic uploader for those having issues with our standard, flash-based uploader.
- Additional spam prevention in the form of optionally setting a captcha to be required in Blog comments.
- Custom date/time format for Blog posts.
- We added "break" functionality for Blog posts in the Visual Editor. Blog
post content will be cut off after the break is inserted and the
content will be replaced with a 'Read more...' link that goes to the Blog post.
- Themes with multiple layouts will now let you visually select a layout by selecting an icon in the Page Settings dialog.
- Added icons for layout variations in the theme selector.
- Advanced users can now edit their Robots.txt file.
- Added shuffle and repeat options to the Audio Player Component dialog.
You can see a full list of all changes here.
As usual if you have any feedback, or are experiencing any difficulties with any of these new features let us know!
Movember!
Movember is the month formerly known as November where men start clean shaven and commit to growing a Moustache. That’s right, we are bringing back the Moustache this November to raise funds and awareness for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer. We've decided this year to help raise money for this cause, and in the process to grow some really great moustaches!
If you want to help out, we've got a good Movember team going and you can check out our progress and donate to the cause:
Happy Movember :)
Great new updates made live today!
We're starting the new month off with a bang (no, not halloween fireworks) and are pleased to announce a new release today! This release brings with it some new features, as well as bug fixes and enhancements - big and small - to help make building your site and using the editor and components faster and easier than ever! Among the list of updates, these include:
- Brand new Flash Component to make embedding Flash easier than ever!
- Fixed an issue causing an error when posting blog posts to Facebook while Facebook is having connection issues.
- Fixed issues with editing images added as 'original size' in image editor, and then modifying them later.
- If a Form Component has a 'Email' field, it will be used as the reply-to.
- The Audio Player Component now only requires a single click to change songs through the playlist.
- Better handling of third party services failing (FriendFeed, Digg, Youtube, Facebook, Bitly for Twitter).
The full release details are here.
As you can see, several of the changes within this update, such as the Flash Component, were greatly requested by members and many others are now in place to guard against external site errors causing issues with your website. We're also continuing to work on some back-end framework so we can eventually offer even more cool features you've been requesting, such as the ability to backup/restore your site and pages!
Also new today is an awesome new theme for our Documentation Wiki! We've recently updated the main page to make getting answers even easier than before, so take a look and let us know what you think!
