If you’ve logged in to update your website lately you may have noticed a few changes that have been made to the WYSIWYG text editor.

For starters, it’s much more simplified. Rather than presenting you with a mammoth dashboard of options, everything’s been narrowed down to just the most commonly used elements. We haven’t taken away any functionality, though — everything’s still there! The hidden options can be accessed by clicking “show more” on the right side of the toolbar.

A huge addition is the new “Page links” option. It will allow you to seamlessly link to other pages in your website without having to copy-and-paste any URLs or mess around with code.

Speaking of copy-and-paste: we’ve also implemented some improvements “under-the-hood” to help prevent you from accidentally breaking your website layout when pasting in content from other documents. You’ll paste in content the same way you always have, but now the text will be inserted as “plain-text” — meaning most of the formatting will be removed. You can restyle the content using the tools available to you in the WYSIWYG editor to emphasize your information however you see fit!

Please let us know if you have any questions about using the new improvements or if you stumble upon any bugs.

It’s hilarious, though. I can’t give it up, no matter how much I probably should. If you’re anything like me, you’ll eventually find yourself in the position of wanting to listen to just the audio track of a podcast you’ve downloaded to your iPhone or iPod Touch while you participate in some other more important or rewarding activity: driving to work, doing the dishes, exercising, etc.

If you start playing the podcast it will, of course, begin playing the video too. Instinctively you’ll hit the sleep/wake button to try and turn off the screen – but this stops the entire podcast from playing at all. What’s a guy do do? Subscribe to the MP3/audio-only version of the podcast too?

No, don’t waste your time. Try this instead:

1. Start playing the podcast
2. Hit the sleep/wake button (the podcast will stop playing)
3. Hit the sleep/wake button (or home button) again and you’ll now be at the “Slide to unlock” screen
4. Now simply double-tap the home button and you’ll get a little iPod mini-control at the top of the screen.
5. Click the “play” button and the podcast will pick up right where you left off, except now it will only be playing the audio track.

From here you can let the phone go back to sleep or hit the sleep/wake button – either way you’ll now have a phone that appears to be asleep but is playing your podcast audio track. No more battery drain just to listen to the video podcast!

You pretty much have to see the larger version to read any of the details, but here’s the summary: Normal web browsers are represented on the left, IE6 is represented on the right. ‘Nuff said.

I’m actually glad I stumbled upon this video. I’m the type of guy who spends too much time on the little details and has a big problem just stepping back to see that sometimes these little details simply don’t matter. I often waste hours making things and implementing features that no one is ever going to use, but I’m actively working on getting better at identifying these time sinks. Thanks Matt for the inspiration.
