Customizing Branch-Specific Blog Ribbons
Create a feature that allows branches to have more customization privileges over their branch-specific blog ribbon. Often, staff-created blogs will receive the "All Branches" tag, and a branch's specific blog (like an upcoming branch event) will get buried beneath other org update blogs (and in some cases, entirely removed from the branch blog ribbon due to the amount of newer content).

RSS feed for Blog entries
An RSS feed is an easy way to allow readers to learn of and read blog entries without visiting the site. As it is, I don't remember to visit the site and check the blog often enough. My online reading is almost entirely through RSS feeds to the new sites and magazines I follow. Building an RSS feed is straightforward, does not have to display in the user interface, and requires no maintenance.

View PDF files stored on the website in the browser
Allow PDF (and other browser viewable files) to be viewed in the browser.
The Seattle Sea Kayaking Committee is storing minutes as PDF documents. When you click on the file name (blue) what happens depends on the browser you are using. Some browsers (Firefox) allows the user to choose to download or view in a browser window. Other browsers (Safari and Chrome on Mac) always download the file.

When Copying a Blog Post Do NOT Copy Comments
When copying a blog post do not copy any associated comments. Sometime we copy a blog post as the starting point for a new blog post. One example is our "10 Essential Questions" blog.

Photo Captions and Credit for Images
Give authors photo credit and add captions to image son our website. Just small text underneath the photo for a brief caption and photographer credit.
16 votesHello All -
I wanted to provide an update on this item! Since this idea was set to 'in-progress' we have been able to fulfill the following:
- Images used in blogs have a caption on them that provides credit to the photographer.
- Images used within the body of web pages are able to give photographers credit through the use of alt text when you hover over the image.
What we are still missing is the ability to give credit for images used in routes/places and on some landing pages. This task ended up being larger than expected and was unable to be completed during the most recent development window. We are changing the status of this idea to 'Priority' instead of 'Complete' so that we can schedule this outstanding step in the future.
