Welcome to the 'Weekly Salsa Highlight', your quick hit on what's new in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program.

You can always get news, updates, and conversation on Salsa Commons. In fact, this week, Salsa Commons itself is the weekly highlight!

There's a new, streamlined look at SalsaCommons.org, and the new login features allowing you to sign into the site with Facebook, OpenID, Google, Yahoo!, or AOL.

Just click the "login" link in the upper left, sign in with your Facebook or other ID, and post or comment freely. (Naturally, you can keep using your regular Salsa ID, too.)

We'll be rolling this great new feature out to all our user organizations for use with their own supporters in the coming weeks. But now's your chance to get a sneak preview of it by trying it out on Salsa Commons!

The rest of the Salsa Commons homepage has a crisp new look and feel, too, with:

• A rotating banner of current highlights
• Quick documentation links in the left column
• Email signup in the upper left-hand corner to receive one or all of our regular Salsa emails

We hope you'll enjoy the ease of having the most popular current features right at your fingertips every time you visit, and the convenience of participating in the Salsa community with the same identity management tools you're already using elsewhere. Come on by and check out the changes!

You can always get news, updates, and conversation on Salsa Commons. If you were there this week, you saw one of our users, Charlie Albanetti, flat-out scoop the weekly highlight with this post noticing how it's now possible to build events Triggers/Autoresponses in-line directly in the events setup workflow.

The "Add a new response" button instantly creates a brand-new event autoresponse. You can proceed to edit it directly without leaving the tab.

Full instructions and screenshots on using this great new feature are available in the events documentation.

Got your standard replies all set up? They're all there, too. Add an existing response lets you browse among Autoresponses you have already configured, just like always.

Hopefully that will speed up the process of building event autoresponses. Go ahead and chime in on the thread if you have some ideas for making it even better! And look for this same functionality elsewhere in the Salsa toolset in the near future.
