We've released five new styles this week. Coincidentally, they all happen to have the flavor of "sky" in some way or another.

  • Skyline has the urban look of a big city at night.
  • Autumn Sunrise utilizes the bright, warm colors of fall foliage.
  • Sky Blue Sky is a classic blue-sky look.
  • Rockin Purple has a funky, metropolitan flavor.
  • Reach for the Sky is a blue-sky look with a modern feel.


In addition to the new styles we've also released a very useful new feature called "Share this" that lets readers of your site share your blog posts easily with popular sites such as del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo!, and more. This can really help your blogs attract a larger audience.

In addition to our recent feature update, we have three more styles to share with you, straight from our talented designers:

  • Break is an edgier, expressionistic style with a dark background and pink accents.
  • Bouquet is an elegant style with a floral motif, suitable for weddings and invitations.
  • Tranquility combines natural images--birds taking flight from a tree, blades of grass--with an out-of-the-ordinary color scheme and layout.

Check them out, and let us know in the comments if you're looking for a particular kind of style that we don't offer yet.

This week's update includes three new styles:

  • Back to Basics is a clean, general-purpose style with a modern touch.
  • Business Casual is what it sounds like: a business-ready style that's not overly formal.
  • Candy Striper is a more playful style to balance the other two.  Its name is a pun on its cotton candy-like colors and the stripe motif in its header.

Enjoy!

As some of you have already noticed, we've rolled out some new styles over the past week:

  • Black Lace has a dark background with gold highlights and a very classy feel to the typography.
  • Charcoal is a clean style with a black background and gray and red accent colors.
  • Vino is saturated with purple.  If you like deep, vivid colors, this is the style for you.

We've also seen some good user-submitted styles such as Rojo recently.  Check them out!

At the end of last week, we released a major update to the Style Editor.  It's intended for builders who want to edit the CSS for their sites, but in the future we'll roll out another update that will let you change the basic elements of a style, such as color and background, without knowing any CSS.

The new Style Editor now includes:

  • code highlighting for the Source View
  • a revamped Properties View (formerly Visual View) that makes it easy to jump between selectors and upload images
  • a significant performance boost over the old editor

We hope you like the changes.  If you've never worked with the Style Editor before, you can find it by opening the Styles window and clicking the Customize link for your site's style.

Let us know what you think, and remember to hit the Share button for any styles you create that you think other builders might appreciate.

Earlier this week, we released two new styles, Americana and Taped Down, which you can find by clicking on Styles in the site editor.  (Taped Down can be found under the "user-submitted" category, but strummer6048 designed it on our behalf.)

We plan to roll out new styles pretty regularly for the foreseeable future.  Enjoy!

If you don't check out Webon's styles and kits very often, you might have missed some of our new additions.

Earlier this week, we introduced the Baby Kit for new and expectant parents.  It includes a journal, photo album, and guestbook, and we've created some new styles specifically for this kit.

We've also added two general-purpose styles, Beach and Blackstone.  Beach is (not surprisingly) a beach-themed style, while Blackstone is an abstract style with a dark background and light blue floral motif. 

Check them out!
