The Candy Store: Part 2

Back again with part two of the summary of new things Carbonmade. First off, we must express our bittersweet happiness at the World Cup's conclusion. It was mighty hard getting things done around here with all the high drama and what not. Now we only have to contend with the Tour de France.

Sport aside (which I'm sure none to few of you will mind), we have a gaggle of features to go over today. Let's dive in.

Frames per second
Motion designers rejoice! We are offering high-quality hosted videos in our Whoo! plan. Upgrading will get you ten 50mb videos to do with as you please. We also did a number on the Quicktime player and skinned it to match our streamlined interface. And to all of our less timeline oriented Carbonmaders spread the word to your motion happy peers so we can start filling up the community with purty movin' pictures.

Oh so pretty
We moved the featured artist posts out of the blog and into their very own spot in the Portfolios section. Keep an eye on the list as we'll be updating it regularly with artists that strike our fancy or folks who are using Carbonmade in neat ways. We've also added a feed so you can get a regular dose of eye-candy via your favorite reader.

All thumbs
The project listing page was in dire need of some updatage so we added a few features to the project thumbnails. You can now turn off and on the thumbnail text at your preference. We also added the option of displaying your thumbs 1up, 2up, or the default 3up. Folks are all ready playing around with custom thumbnail images and the new layout options to make interesting and unique listing pages. We love it!

Well, that'll do it for this installment of Awesome New Carbonmade Features. Tomorrow the Tour heads to the mountains and we'll be back with another update (after the stage finishes of course). Keep posting your beautiful work!
