Blog posts now have readable addresses, and every blog publishes a sitemap and an RSS feed. This release also makes the post editor more dependable.
On your blog:
- Readable post URLs. A post's address is now built from its
title, for example
/post/our-spring-launch, instead of a long number. Existing posts were given addresses automatically, and old links keep working. - Sitemap, feed and robots.txt. Each blog serves
/sitemap.xml,/feed.xml(also/rss.xml) and/robots.txt, so search engines and feed readers can find your posts. - Correct canonical URLs. Posts now tell search engines their real public address.
- Blog widget links. Posts shown in the embedded blog widget link to the right page, and excerpts show as clean text.
In the editor:
- New posts start as drafts unless you choose otherwise.
- A category you type is saved even if you don't press Enter.
- The word count is accurate.
- A post needs a title and content before it can be published.
- Saving a new post keeps you in the editor on that post.
- Clearer messages when a blog or post no longer exists.
