Yowza! Updates galore.

Another week and some change gone by and we're back on the scene with some jive new features to wet your Carbonmade whistles. But first, let's get a little state-of-the-web-app action out of the way. We're closing in on 900 portfolios, a crowd of folks have been in touch offering kudos and suggestions, and we've received a gaggle of great write-ups. The response to Carbonmade keeps on exceeding our expectations and we love it! Now let's get our feature on.

Thumbnails for people who need thumbnails
A healthy handful of portfolios were showing up with a good number of images per project (photographers, we're looking at you). As nice as the slideshow project view is it's just not meant to handle 50 images without inducing carpal tunnel. So, thumbnails to the rescue. Head over to your project edit screen and look for the big green button to flip them on.

You've been Flashed
We added Macromedia Flash based projects to Carbonmade. You can now upload SWFs under a meg and show off your work in fancy-schmancy, moving, vector style.

Wide Load
Only about 1% of Carbonmaders were running resolutions below 1024x768 so we decided to take advantage of all that unused real estate and bump the edit screens to 1000px wide. We believe you'll find this particularly useful when editing projects.

Cloak of Invisibility
Have a project that needs some finishing off or ready to retire that sloppy mess of a layout you made last year? Well, salvation in the form of Hidden Projects has arrived. You can now hide any project in your portfolio by toggling the big ol' blue button in the project edit screen.

How about them Markups
Your About section just got a little nerdier. You can now use basic HTML tags and Markdown codes to help people get the lowdown on everything that is you.

All the Rest
In addition to the bigger stuff, we also went through another round of optimization. Ends were unloosened and code was given a good scrub down. We cleaned up a lot of little bothersome display things like the Image Caption widget and nixed a few bugs. Oh yes, and for the folks who care everything now has Unicode Text Support (Jason tells me this is hot lava).

So another great week-and-some-change. We have another round of features loaded up in the production cannon and we're this close to lighting the wick; keep an eye out (for cannonballs?). Let us know what you think of the new goodies and keep showing off all your great work!
