:: 3 New WritingML Colors ::
We're releasing three (3) more colors to enliven your text:
         This color is khaki.   {c:khaki}
         This color is light khaki.   {c:lkhaki}
         This color is plum.   {c:plum}
This brings the total number of available font colors to 19!

Complete help on using WritingML can be found in the WritingML Help
link available from your "Author Tools" pull down menu.



:: New Image Limiting Preference ::
The Image Limiting Preference has been created to allow members
of Writing.Com to limit the number of images that will be shown when
the system parses and displays WritingML in a Message Forum post.
This is primarily available to accomodate those on slower internet
connections, but it will also allow us to conserve both bandwidth and
server processing resources.

The default setting and minimum number of images displayed is 3. Non
members viewing forum posts will be limited to the default setting of 3
images maximum per post. The maximum number of images displayed
is restricted to 25 in any one post.

To set this preference for your account, visit your My Account page,
then click to the Change Preferences page. Find the Image Limiting
preference and set it to best suit your needs.


:: Conserving Signature Space ::
Members with more than 3 images in their signatures should remember
that WritingML provides for the random rotation of images. Members
can rotate from 2 to 10 images in a single image tag.

This is done by separating Image Item numbers in the tag with a comma.
For example:
** Image ID #333333 Unavailable **

Remember, the valid WritingML tag will not contain the blank space
found above. That is included so the ML remains visible for our example.

link available from your "Author Tools" pull down menu.


:: Don't Forget Our Self Publishing Showcase ::
The field of publishers in our showcase has been updated and narrowed.
The look of the page has also been updated. If you've decided to take
the next step in writing, check this list first for all of your publishing
needs! It is available from the "Item Jumps" pull down menu as
8. Self Publishing or directly at:
