We just released two new features: an image crop & zoom tool, and an add-on that will make it easier for visitors to subscribe to your blog's RSS feed.

The crop & zoom feature lets you adjust your images on the fly within the editor.  For example, you can turn a rectangular full-length photo into a square head shot.  Here's how:

  • To crop, mouse over an image and drag one of the lighter-colored squares on the side of its frame.  (You can still resize the image using the darker-colored squares on the corners of the frame.)
  • To zoom, use the slider that appears when you mouse over an image.  If the image is small, you may only see two buttons for "zoom in" and "zoom out", and you can click those instead of the slider.  What's more, you can also reposition an image once you've zoomed in on it by dragging it within the frame.

Cropping and zooming usually requires special desktop software, but it's now standard for Webon images.

For bloggers, we've also added the Blog Subscribe add-on, which makes it easier for visitors to subscribe to your blog using their favorite RSS readers.  If they're signed in to one of the popular readers like Google or Technorati, subscribing only takes a couple of clicks.  Otherwise, they can copy and paste the feed URL.

If you run into problems with any of these features, please let us know using our help system.  Enjoy!

GIFs can be inserted anywhere images can be inserted. Currently animated GIFs do not work though. That is something that we plan to fix in the future. To use Flash you can use Custom HTML ... and paste in your Flash embed codes. Unfortunately right now you cannot upload SWF files into the Media Manager so the SWF would need to be hosted somewhere else. Later this year we plan to update the Media Manager to handle a lot more file types than it currently does... but it will most likely be at least a couple of months until we reach that point.
