ENV2 Gives Efficiency To Empower Network

By Hugh Landry


The Empower Network has experienced a number of developments with the release of ENV2, the brand new version of the EN blogging software. This is certainly no major mystery to people within this specific industry, as numerous of EN affiliates have been clamoring about it for the past couple months.

To this point though, you may have had your email inbox swamped with email from Empower Network members informing you that something new was on it's way, there hasn't been much information concerning exactly what these changes were going to be.

In this article we'll take up the more substantial changes to this system.

What we have here with ENV2 is a comprehensive revamp of the whole system, not only a few simple modifications. It is a totally new machine.

You might have heard certain affiliates saying something similar to, "So easy and fast your Grandmother can make a new blog post faster than cooking a pancake". Her cooking abilities aside the new design is definitely far simpler to use than the previous.

For people who have experienced the older platform you know that the Empower Network system, prior to now, was really just a Wordpress install that was modified specifically to the EN opportunity, pre-built for you so you didn't have to fool with the installation and building of it. Members logging in presently won't recognize it as having anything to do with Wordpress and is fact it's not Wordpress now. For people who are savvy with Wordpress had no problems. For everyone else it was just a bit too much for them to adjust to. I'm sure lots of folks never even got off the ground due to technical uncertainties.

Someone must have been listening because the all new version has really come through to make it seriously tech-dummy-proof.

Presently a totally novice blogger logs in, checks out the four large image icons at the top of the Home page and chooses the appropriate one. The choices are video, audio, image or text. The user will type in the necessary data, possibly pick a file to upload from their PC and that's it.

If there is some way to make such a thing any easier for the normal person, I sure wouldn't know what that would be .

Within the all-new version they have eliminated the "text" editor and left just the visual editor for making edits to the content of a post. It is easy to undestand that those who are experienced with coding and who prefer to make their post more sophisticated and include unique attributes for example, countdown timers or contact forms in the post body may think this to be overly limiting, yet for the typical person I'm confident this is a comfort to not need to dig through a ton of code that does nothing more than confuse such people.

One of the most meaningful updates entails the Empower Network mobile app, making it simple to blog, publish video, and so on, right from your smart-phone. One application which seems to be a triumph is the capability for people to record a video on their i-phone, then upload that video to your blog and publish it in just a few clicks on your phone. The idea is that you may develop your small business from anyplace employing your phone and you don't even have to involve your PC. It needs to be kept in mind that this is made possible only by also becoming a customer of Empower Network's video hosting service.

The video hosting service and the blogging platform are intended to perform with each other to make this fast and easy. Regarding more advanced bloggers who are presently employing their own video hosting solution, instead of free sites such as YouTube or Vimeo, this won't be any kind of surprise. For those lesser experienced people that were planning on just using YouTube, this can still be done certainly, however they only need to embed the YT video link into new post. Though this is still many times quicker and easier than it would be when using a normal Wordpress blog, it doesn't have quite the same gimmicky appeal as being able to record, then click a button on your phone to have a new video blog posted.

One's ability to customize will be a little restricted by the improvements, as the simplicity is the emphasis and so as to simplify some functionality was consequently reduced. One would need to decide for themselves if this has any significance to their business.

For instance, uploading photos into your post today takes just a couple clicks and there is no requirement to elect alignment or dimensions for any graphics. The reason for this is that the Empower Network blogging system would automatically size every one of your graphics to the breadth of the post area. And so no more having to wrap text around pictures. Most probably wouldn't care less concerning this as a complication and honestly, with most of the visitors viewing the internet via mobile devices today, those graphics and text will get realigned for viewing anyhow. Such only makes things quicker and simpler.

One more unique transformation: When members log in to ENV2 they will now observe their social activity feed which contains the recent posts made by other EN bloggers.

With any new post that you post now you may decide to have a fragment of that post made available to groups of your choosing within their Activity Feed. Each new post could be shown to every person in your EN group or just to certain levels of membership. This might be helpful for people who desire to have exclusive content reserved for a specific membership level, or when the content is only applicable to certain membership levels.

Another unique feature is that of having the capacity to swipe any of the posts which you see on your own Activity Feed by using a single click, for effortless sharing or just to fill your own blog with the content of others. This is again another social integration into the blogging platform, similar to the popular social networks.

Therefore it has been made more simple, less to know, and undoubtedly fewer worries for the average person stepping into this sort of activity for the first time.
