When our pal Eppie22 started posting her OnSugar posts to her Facebook account, we all thought it was great, but admitted that we were too lazy to do the same. To remedy our laziness, our dev team came up with two new great features. Now you can automatically update either your Facebook or your Twitter statuses whenever you post something to OnSugar.
To do so, just click on "Edit Profile" in the drop down menu on the top. Once there you can click on the Facebook or Twitter icons and fill in your information. In just a few short clicks, whenever you create a new post on OnSugar, you'll create a status update on Facebook or Twitter.

Wish you had more followers? You can now click "Invite Friends" in your site dropdown menu, and easily invite folks to check out your blog. Let friends and family know all about your life, including that corn dog you ate last night.
We’ve also added a "navigation alert". This means that instead of losing a post when you accidently navigate away, you'll now receive an alert message asking if you’d like to save your post. Remember, if you're not ready to publish just then, you can always save your post as a draft and come back to it later. Just click on "Advance Options" beneath your post and select "Save as draft." A link to your posts and drafts page is in your site dropdown menu.
We've got more tricks up our sleeves, so stay tuned. And if you want us to add something sooner, drop us a line!

Thanks to everyone who's given us such great feedback. We're planning to implement bug fixes and add new features each week. If there's something you'd like to see, or a problem that you've encountered, let us know. We really do like hearing what you think.
Here's the rundown of our latest release:
- If you've been looking for an easy way for readers to subscribe to your blog feed, use the Your RSS Feed Widget. We've also placed an RSS feed link in the footer of all featured themes.
- We added a fast link to access all of your entries of a certain post type. Go to your site and add "/POSTTYPE" to the end of your blog url. For example, if you wanted to see all quote posts on Fashionologie, you'd type http://www.fashionologie.com/quotes . (Just make sure the post type is plural: texts, galleries, polls, quizes, quotes, links, chats, videos, audios).
- You can also filter post types by tag. Go to your site and add /POSTTYPE/tags/YOURTAG after your blog url. Example: http://lisaandbrian.onsugar.com/galleries/tag/wedding
- Finally, we created a Sites I Follow Widget that displays the sites you follow. Now your friends know which sites you're checking out.
Want us to add something sooner? Drop us a line! The more people who ask for something, the higher up the priority list it goes, so let us know what you're looking for.
