I agree. I started a topic like this a year ago. I never heard anything more about it. But I think it's a no-brainer that when a story goes on the web the byline should default to whatever that user's byline is on the web NOT how it ran in the printed version.
That's not the way ours is set up. That way if someone is on site B and wants to add an event they don't have to go to another website. It makes a few extra steps for us but we don't have enough calendar events that it becomes a hassle.
You may be able to create a widget block that you would then put on another website but in my experience those don't display correctly unless they're in a 100% width(of the entire page) region. And most times you don't want them in a 100% width region, you want them in the rail or in the main content region.
We have three BLOX sites and TownNews set them up to syndicate calendar events to each other. We have to manually go in and add site tags to the other BLOX websites. But it's really handy when you have multiple websites and you want them to share calendars.
I saw the update from August that adds an auto-save feature of sorts to BLOXCMS. This is a step in the right direction for preventing articles from being lost. I think a bigger concern of ours remains the cancel button. Can the cancel button not be given the same exact function and prompt of the close/X button?
Oh, your site doesn't have a right-rail does it? That may be why the body is wider.
Did you get the fuller body copy look from just changing the CSS? I tried it on our website and the width isn't as wide is your site. I'll attach some screenshots and hopefully they'll make sense.

I'm assuming you just added some CSS to make it max-width: 100% but with BLOX there's also a good chance there's an option to do it with one click hidden somewhere I don't know about.
Those look awesome. How often do you do those longform types of articles? I'd love for our daily publication to do those from time to time.
Can you give me an example of a drop down that doesn't work. I don't use Safari but thought I'd test it on my end to see if I could replicate it.
I agree. I can't tell you how many times someone has said "I subscribed but I don't have access." I check and they only set up a username and password.
