OpenBook 2 is now live on my website. It’s a bit of a tease since some of the best features can only be seen once you’ve installed it, but you can still see some of the changes. Here is an instance of OpenBook using the “medium” size template defined in the Options panel.
This version comes with additional links to LibraryThing, Google Books, and BookFinder. Don’t like the links? Get rid of ‘em. Want an Amazon link? Add one. Prefer fancier styling? No problem. You can change everything in the Options panel. Still, how do you like the default styling?
Notice the instance of OpenBook for this same book in the sidebar widget. It has been there for awhile, but until now that required a hack. Now, you can use an OpenBook shortcode, just like in a post.
I have a few more things to work on, and I will be tweaking and testing for awhile before I make a general callout for beta testers. Stay tuned.
