New to Beta: Image Editor Upgrades Plus a New WordPress Import for Everyone

The new year is almost here, and while that means enjoying a little down time for some folks, we're still hard at work here at Typepad! Today we've got two new features to announce, one for our Beta Team members and one for all our users!

First of all, for our Beta Team, we've updated the image editor.  It now uses a newer version of the same program that you know and love, so you won't see many new changes, though there's now an option to add an overlay or even make a meme of your photo!  You will see better performance in general which is just another one of our updates to improve the Compose experience.

 

Finally, for our new subscribers coming in from WordPress, you can now import multiple authors in with your import.  Each author will have a guest account created for them and their posts will be assigned to that account.  This should make it easier for people with multiple authors to continue their blog in their new home with minimal fuss. You can learn more in our Knowledge Base.

We're working on even more exciting features to round out this year and to take us into the next one! (Hint: Ever wanted to have more password options on your blog?)  Feel free to leave a comment and let us know what you'd like to see Santa leave you under the Typepad tree!
