John,

I like the look of this one, but one thing that I think would help is if the Blogware folks stopped using Category and Topic interchangeably, as in the Topic title at the top of your Category Tree. Does the tree show all Categories even if they are protected and marked invisible to the logged in reader?

Jamie,

Currently, Category and Topic can be used interchangeably...

The restricted category capabilities are the most sophisticated on any hosted blogging platform. Restricted categories do not even appear in the Category Tree (or in the Topics component for that matter) unless you are authenticated and have permission to view that category.

Similarly, restricted categories and their postings do not appear in the RSS feed unless you have authenticated and have permission in that category. Quoting myself from an article on our RSS support:

Quote:

...BlogHarbor weblogs offer support for something found in very few weblog services: Secure RSS. As you know, we offer security features which allow you to restrict access to your categories of your weblog to only people you explicitly permit to view your content. Coupled with this security feature is the ability to generate RSS feeds based on your identity and access level: your weblog can send out one RSS feed for a public user and another separate RSS feed for a family member who has special privileges to view family photos from your Photo Album!

RSS newsreaders like Newzcrawler support these RSS Security features allowing you to syndicate your site securely.

The top bar text of the Category Tree component was changed today to read Main Page, as that is the most accurate description of where the link will take you when you click on it. Thanks for the feedback!
