Menu Modifications

I've modified the post composition menu a bit to shorten the words (so that it's more friendly to small monitors) and also to add an Entities™ menu®. Now, whether you want to say $100, £55.84, ¥11,003 or €82.22, powerblogs is there for you.

(note: neither Entities nor menu is actually a trademark of anyone that i know of)

Syndication Preferences

I've added a new page to the Prefs tab which allows one to control various aspects of the syndication features (Email lists, RSS, etc). It's now possible to control whether the various syndication options are used, and in the case of RSS, displayed.

Also, I've added a content template to the full content RSS feed to faciliate sticking advertisements in the full content RSS (that one was requested by Dean Esmay).

Finally, I've aggregated all of the syndication options into a single variable for the sidebar templates: [$SyndicationList$]. You'll have to reload your theme or add this to the appropriate sidebar manually, but once you do you'll never have to manually adjust the syndication links again.

Lots of new features

I've just uploaded a bunch of revisions and tweaks, plus a few new features. It's late, so I'll say what they actually are tomorrow.

Category support maturing

I've updated various portions of the archive generation code to use the new (category-friendly) code.

Also, for those rolling their own themes, the important variables to use in the sidebar templates are [$CategoryList$] and [$CategoryName$].

A great new feature will be coming out in the next few days. More on that as it nearly maturation.
