There’s nothing better than visitors sharing your blog posts with the world and I’m doing what I can to make it easier for them to do just that! Every KBK Connect blog has a footer toolbar that is always present as visitors navigate through your content. I have updated the footer toolbar to include some new goodies that will hopefully make visitors more share-happy.

Always Been There

The following apps have always been present on the toolbar…

Search – Visitors can search the entire KBKc network from any page. Results are shown as an overlay (like a pop-up), so visitors aren’t taken away from their current page.

Part of my Master Plan is to offer amazing WordPress themes to all KBK Connect users! Well, that day has come! Beginning RIGHT NOW all KBK Connect blog admins can choose from basic, Premium, and Diamond WP themes. To activate a new theme, visit Appearance in your Dashboard and click on “Themes”. You can also see all the themes {HERE}.

Please contact me if you have trouble with any of the new themes, or need help with your theme of choice’s special features. Also, if there is a free theme that you are in love with, but isn’t available here, just let me know and I will add it!

Sittin’ in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g. Why? Because KBK Connect LOVES Zazzle Store Builder, which is NOW AVAILABLE for ALL KBK Connectors (that’s what I’m calling all KBKc users, I know it’s corny). See:

There is so much you can do with this plugin! One feature heavily requested was the option of adding the code to a single page/post multiple time. You can do that now! You can also add content above and below (before and after) the code.

Get started by customizing the plugin via Settings > Zstore Helper. You can find instructions here.

Next, add shortcodes to your page/post HTML.  {more}

With the introduction of the Premium Package, the option to remotely publish your blog was limited only to the KBK Connect sites that upgraded to Premium. Today that has been changed so that every site can utilize this priceless feature! Ensure that it is turned on by going to the following location:

Dashboard > Settings > Writing

Scroll down to “Remote Publishing” and check both boxes. Click “Save Changes” and you are ready to publish to your blog from outside locations, your desktop, etc.

All KBK Connect blogs can feature photos in a nice way now with the new Lightbox Gallery! There’s no need to do anything, just create a new page or post, upload photos, save. Then insert the gallery shortcode into the main content area (you don’t need to add the photos themselves, just the shortcode).
