Here comes another nice upgrade that will make your blogging on LumberJocks even more enjoyable. Each of you is now going to have blog that can be proudly presented across the Internet. Old blog pages were quite messy… they were just paging across whole blog entries. And if the blog entries were longer it was real pain to browse through them.
New blogs feature nicely organized and visually much more appealing blog home page that prominently shows the latest entry. And just below the ...
