Micro.blog News

  • Improved publishing performance for some blogs, especially those that had a large number of imported posts.

  • Fixed an issue with hosted blogs in Europe going offline. Sorry for the downtime!

  • Fixed not expanding photo collection shortcodes in email newsletters.

  • Fixed hiding replies that mention users who are on domain names you have muted.

  • Fixed archiving some blogs if there were shortcodes used in standalone pages. You can download a .bar file archive of your site by clicking Posts → “…” → Export.

  • There’s another update to our Mac app today, version 3.6.8. This adds to the support rolling out this week for better international date and time formats.

  • Added support for localized date and time formats, including (finally!) 24-hour time. The next time you use Micro.blog on the web, it will start updating across the platform for you based on your operating system settings.

  • Fixed the crash on launch in Micro.blog for Mac. You can download the new version directly here.

  • Updated the Mac app to version 3.6.6, fixing several issues.

  • Micro.blog Family now allows you to transfer “ownership” of a blog to someone else in your family (or small team). So you can manage payment for up to 5 blogs, but another member can post to their own blog and control the blog’s settings.

  • Added an “intro text” field for categories. Most themes will need to be updated to support this. For more details, see Manton’s blog post.

  • Added new multiple category batch deletion to Categories page. Click the Select button.

  • Updated the “Photos with months” plug-in to use smaller photo files, so the page loads faster. Also fixed a related issue with blog post front matter not always including all sizes.

  • Fixed an issue with blog publishing being delayed for a short time today. Thanks for your patience.

  • Fixed a new error in the Mentions tab on the web.

  • We had a few minutes of intermittent errors. Sorry about that. The problem has been resolved.

  • Fixed adding redirects to special URL schemes like podcast:// and feed://.

  • Added a new 📷 button on the Posts page on the web, to filter to just showing blog posts with photos.

  • Fixed unchecking cross-posting options for new posts on the web.

  • Released a new Mac version with a reading goals bar at the top of the Bookshelves section. Quick way to glance at your reading progress or edit your goals.

  • Released Micro.blog 3.5.4 for iOS, fixing a few bugs.

  • Improved auto-generated accessibility text on the web for new posts to fill in the photo alt text by default when clicking the photo thumbnail, skipping the extra copy/paste step. There’s a new text box to edit the text directly.

  • New plug-in “Photos with months” adds section headers to group photos by year and month instead of altogether in a flat grid. Give it a try if you have lots of photos.

  • Fixed cross-posting services not getting remembered when unchecking them.

  • Updated Micro.blog for macOS to version 3.6.4, fixing auto-generated accessibility text and related problems managing photos.
