Perfect for your craft site, retail site, or your personal site just because you love sweaters - Cable Knit makes your website warm and fuzzy.

Rock Band

 

Rock Band is an exciting style because when you change the layout, the background image changes with you! Choose 1 column, 2 column left align, or 2 column right align to get the looks that you see below:

Heart Flowers

 

Heart Flowers is simple and sweet - and great if your favorite color is purple.

Use Coffee Beans to have a visually appealing site for your coffee shop. A simple background with coffee bean accents gives your shop's website the special touches it needs without being overly designed.

Paper Bag was inspired by everyday shopping bags or lunch bags with fun accent colors added in - perfect for an eco-friendly site.

 

 

 

Scratched V2

 

 

Scratched V2 may look familiar to you and there's a reason for that - Scratched is a current Tripod style. Scratched V2 pulls the same crumpled paper background and similar heading as the original Scratched but changes some imagery and has different navigation designs.

 

 

 

Stitch Pad

 

 

Stitch Pad is a simple style derived from stitching and note pads - perfect for a journal website or even your website for selling homemade clothing!

Blue Powder is a cute and fun style - perfect for teens and personal websites.

Curtain Up may look simple at first glance, but we have implemented a new type of Menu function where on hover of your Menu large blocks appear with your pages in a new style! Try it out in your builder to see how it functions.

 

 

My World

 

 

My World is a fun-loving template with bright blue skies and an illustrated town at the bottom of the template - check it out in your builder to see the full view!

 

 

Paris

 

 

Paris je t'adore! Use this style for your travel site, photo site, or just because you like it!

New Feature: Create A Favicon!
Topic: Site Builder News

Give your site an extra special touch by uploading a favicon! I created my favicon in seconds on favicon.cc. All I had to do was upload the image that I wanted and it converted it into the file that I need for a favicon. 

 

After creating my favicon, I went to my site tab and clicked "Upload Favicon." I then found the file that I just created on favicon.cc and chose it to upload. Then, all I had to do was publish my site to see the final result. 

 

Favicons appear in the address bar and browser tabs, making your website unique. 

 

Try making your own favicon today!

Webon to Zeeblio
Topic: Site Builder News

Today all sites have officially made the migration from Webon to Zeeblio. Over the last few weeks, we have let you test Zeeblio out and listened to your feedback while making changes based on your requests. Finally, we were able to transfer everyone's sites over to Zeeblio.

 

 

 

What does this mean for my Webon site?

All of your hard work has been ported over to Zeeblio. Your text, images, videos, add-ons - anything that was in Webon is now in Zeeblio. 

 

What if I come across a problem?

If you find that something is gravely wrong with your site (not just my Weather Zombie add-on went away and now I have to re-add it!), don't publish your page and contact customer support. Publishing your page will overwrite your currently fine Webon site and will publish anything that may be incorrect. 

 

I didn't try out Zeeblio because I thought I was able to keep my Webon site. Can I go back?

We have created Zeeblio to make your experience better. We have listened to customer feedback more than ever which is why we gave you the chance to try it out first before migrating everyone over. For members who previously had Webon sites, Zeeblio will come to you as second nature. Zeeblio is built with Webon users in mind but has some major alterations to make features work better and look sharper. We cannot move websites from Zeeblio back to Webon but would love to hear any feedback in order to make your experience better on Zeeblio by clicking the "Feedback" button in your builder. 

 

What features are different from Webon?

To learn more about Zeeblio, check out our past blog posts and read up about it on zeeblio.com

 

Is Zeeblio free? 

The Zeeblio builder is completely free. Your current plan structure will not change at all with this migration. 

 

Want to learn more? 

Go to zeebliohelp.tripod.com to get in-depth descriptions about all of the features of the builder. You can even submit requests for new articles to be added to the knowledge base on the home page. 

 

If you have any troubles at all during the migration, contact customer support .

A Glimpse of What's New In Zeeblio!
Topic: Site Builder News

You may be wondering just what is in store for you with the launch of Zeeblio. When you get to try Zeeblio out next week, be sure to test out these new features:

 

Site Wizard 

Since Zeeblio has a new layout and new features, we wanted to give you a chance to get introduced to the site through a wizard guiding you through all of the different locations in the builder. Try building a new site with Zeeblio for fun to test out the Wizard and read what it has to say about all of the new features!

 


 

New Add-Ons 

Media posting add-ons have increased greatly in Zeeblio. Picasa is one of your options to create photo thumbnails on your site along with Flickr, Photobucket, and one linked to your Media Manager. Take a look at the Picasa photo album:

 

 


 

 

 

 

We have also added to basic add-ons, creating a heading block, list block, and a column tool. The column tool is great for placing images, add-ons, or text next to each other and having them evenly spaced out. Take a look:

 


 

 

Interface & Features 

If you have watched the video or seen any screenshots of Zeeblio, you will notice a new setup that is slightly different to that that you were famliar with in Webon. We have added a new tab - the Site Tab - which gives you information on your site, Promotion & SEO, plus we added helpful organization to the tabs. One big improvement is the Text Toolbar. Instead of being a tab, it is now ever-present so you can edit your text without having to click in and out of tabs. Take a look at the updates:

 


 

Be sure to try out Zeeblio next week to see all of the new features we've created!

Exciting Changes, Coming Your Way!
Topic: Site Builder News

We've been listening to your feedback and have been hard at work for the past few months to improve Webon and Tripod to meet your requests. As we began upgrading Webon, it quickly became apparent that we weren't just making small changes here and there. While the basic functionality and features of Webon were remaining the same, many aspects of the editor were drastically changing.

 

These exciting changes don't just run skin deep.  Underneath the hood, Webon isn't the same builder any more, and with such radical changes (and even more updates planned for the future) it no longer makes sense to refer to this tool as Webon.  So, with great pleasure, we're proud to introduce to you Zeeblio.  A new beginning in building fun and easy to maintain websites.

  

Zeeblio is faster and more sleek with an updated interface making it easier to maneuver around and update your website.  Transitioning from Webon to Zeeblio will be an easy process since Zeeblio is built on the foundation of the best parts of Webon. We've listened to your suggestions on how draging and dropping in Webon could be improved, and have made this a more refined process. Check out zeeblio.com to watch a quick video of Zeeblio in action and to read more about the new and improved features. 

 


 

With these changes to our site builder, it made sense to release another update that we had been planning for some time: Tripod is getting a series of updates over the next few months.  The first of these changes will affect Tripod visually with redesigned pages and an easier to use control panel.  In the coming months, you can expect many new and exciting features to be added to Tripod.  Some of which, you've been asking for a long time. (more on that soon!)

 

 


 

Next week we'll be releasing the brand new Tripod with Zeeblio for you to try out.  Webon will still be around for the remainder of October, giving you time to continue to update your website with Webon, while getting comfortable with Zeeblio before before it replaces the former.
