We hope this will make using My Music Staff even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what\u2019s new and improved this week:<\/p>\n<h3>Blog:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>We&#8217;ve added <strong>RSS feeds<\/strong> to teacher blogs.<\/li>\n<li>When multiple Blog\/News Posts are made on the same day, they are now displayed chronologically (in the order they were created) with the newest at the top.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re using the Social Sharing buttons on your blog, the Tweet and Facebook buttons now automatically set the text based on the\u00a0title and\/or body of your blog post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Calendar:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Blocked events now show a special icon on the calendar so that you can see at-a-glance which categories may block recurring events. (It looks like a little calendar with an &#8220;X&#8221; through it.)<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;Sync&#8221; drop-down menu on the calendar is no longer cut-off on the right.<\/li>\n<li>We fixed a small glitch with the Calendar Feed signup link that would prevent new Google Calendar subscriptions from working in some situations.<\/li>\n<li>Birthdays in January were not showing up in the calendar; this has been fixed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Email:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>If you send a studio email from My Music Staff, there&#8217;s now an option to automatically create a Student Portal &#8220;Post&#8221; from that email. This saves you a step if you&#8217;re sending a newsletter or another announcement type email\u00a0and you also want to create a post with the same content.<\/li>\n<li>When sending email reminders, My Music Staff now <strong>only sends one <\/strong>email reminder to parents even if multiple siblings\u00a0are attending the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Misc:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>We&#8217;ve added a new report called<strong> &#8220;Student Tax Credit Receipt&#8221;<\/strong>. This is for teachers in Canada who need to give a summary receipt to parents who wish to claim the Children&#8217;s fitness and arts tax credits. The student&#8217;s birthday will be included if you have entered it into the Student Details page (as required by the Canada Revenue Agency).<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve updated the way<strong> &#8220;Previous Lesson Notes&#8221;<\/strong> are pulled for the agenda. Now if possible, My Music Staff will display the notes from the last <strong>&#8220;Present&#8221;<\/strong> lesson. (If that lesson has no notes, more recent notes from the previous <strong>&#8220;Absent&#8221;<\/strong> lesson will be chosen.)<\/li>\n<li>You can now view an inactive family&#8217;s account from the Student Details page by clicking &#8220;View Account&#8221; on the Family tab (this was previously blocked).<\/li>\n<li>We fixed a number of minor Login widget look-and-feel issues. Additionally, the Login Widget and the Registration Widget can now be used on the same page (in the past there was a conflict that would cause of the widgets to size incorrectly).<\/li>\n<li>We fixed some display issues for IE8\/9 users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope you enjoy all the new additions and improvements. Have a great week!<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The My Music Staff Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To kick off 2015 on a hig &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Gearing Up For 2015\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/gearing-2015\/#more-9415\" aria-label=\"Gearing Up For 2015 \u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u3055\u3089\u306b\u8aad\u3080\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-product-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9415\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
