The Design tab [16.01.2009]

Blueprint's Design tab in the Admin area has finally been overhauled. Now you can edit any file in the site directory, create new templates/layouts/stylesheets/javascripts and upload images. You can even delete unneeded files. It's really very simple, but powerful enough to build a site without leaving the browser.

Here's a screenshot:

Also new: you can now have multiple layouts for a single site. Just create your additional layouts in the site directory, named something like: raw.layout.html.erb. This will make the raw layout available for your pages in the Structure tab — to wit:

Blueprint-multi-layouts

Naturally, if you only have the default layout, this dropdown is not visible on the Structure tab.

Only the comment field is required. Omitting the ID fields increases your risk of being mistaken for spam.
