Video, Greeting Cards, and SmugMungous - November & December 2007
Whew! Last Friday we threw a 5th Anniversary party for many of our customers and announced the huge releases we’ve made recently.
Drum roll, please…
- Video support you can write home about.
No more limiting our SmugMuggers to 30 second mpeg-1 clips! We now support clips 2.5 minutes in length for Power users and 5 minutes for Pros. Upload almost any format and we’ll handle it. Videos are converted to the h.264 format and displayed beautifully. More .
- Added iTunes Podcast RSS feeds to show off new videos.
- Greeting cards!
Choose from 37 designs and let us surprise you with stunning print quality.
- Jaw-dropping new addition to SmugMungous.
You have to see this to believe it. SmugMug just got a whole lot more beautiful on everything from an iPhone up to dual 30″ monitors.
- Brought black mugs and sweatshirts back to our catalog by popular demand.
- Added fotoflot page to clue our customers in about our partnership and show off the coolness of frameless photos.
- Added note to “Add to Cart” interface to make logged-in SmugMuggers aware of the availability of fotoflots and photobooks through Blurb.
- Cleaned up some wording in the control panel to make features more clear.
- Lots of help page updates to keep up with new features.
- Updated MacDaddy uploader to include new features (SmugMungous).
- Added Christmas shipping deadlines to the cart EARLY this year.
- Fixed a bug where the “Add to Cart” interface would hang if no products were available for purchase for the photo selected.
- Fixed API bug where smugmug.users.getTree misses the albums at the category level when more than one gallery exists in a subcategory.
- Fixed a bug where a gallery forced to filmstrip viewing with comments disabled would show a javascript error when you click on a thumbnail.

wow. Fantastic release! I’m most excited about the videos (though grumpy about the 2.5 min limit, hehe) and the greeting cards. And once I buy me that fancy pants iphone I’m sure I’ll be excited about the video rss feed.
The fit-more-thumbnails thing in a larger window is also realllllly big news; any chance you’ll trickle that capability down into other themes like “Spoonman”? I know, probably not the most commonly used theme.

I love the new additions… I agree with Ken, Calendars would be nice and so would coupons… but, this is a great step…
