Rombla

Rombla update: December 12, 2008

The Rombla team has been hard at work improving Rombla since its introduction last month.  We completed an release Yesterday that fix many bugs.  The overall stability is much improved and we also added a few new features:

1. Improved support for accented characters.
2. Fixed video linking problems
3. Deep linking support with unique URLs for each site page.  This allows other sites to link directly to a page in your site rather than just the home page.  This will improve Search engine optimization(SEO) for your site.
4. Expanded undo functionality to include design and layout changes.
5. Added palette editor.  Double click on the palette in the property list box to open the editor.
6. Added advanced color selection tool.  Click the small color ball at the top of the color picker and you will open the advanced selector to pick from millions of colors.

The team has also made significant progress on two important features that many of you are waiting for.

1. Publishing of Rombla sites to external domains.  Our testers our now validating FTP transfer of Rombla sites to several large hosting companies. Initially, you will be able to download your site and ftp it to your existing hosted domain.  Shortly after, we will add the ability for Rombla to automatically publish to other hosting companies without the need to download and transfer files.
2. We have also added the ability for Rombla to auto-generate a background copy of each page content in HTML format to help search engines to index content and dramatically improve your site’s search engine ranking.

These two features are currently being tested and will be included in our next update release before the end of the year.
