FIXES

Blog url renaming not working - Case-insensitive comparisons for blog URL routing to avoid typos.
Why its important
We addressed 2 of the toughest concerns about Pulse head on- the lack of multi-word navigation and issues with blog links not working. This version protects your SEO. Not only did we fix an issue that affects some blog links, we improved the blog lookups to be more flexible- if either the blog ID or title is matched in the link, the blog will render. So, even you send out the link, and then change the blog title, your blog links work. And that means, SEO is preserved.
How to use multi-word navigation
Simply add a dash to your page names. For example, "About -Us" becomes "About Us".
Going forward
We're extremely excited to keep making Pulse amazing. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more improvements, and let us know what you want to see in Pulse.
