Baseview offers in-house or hosted web publishing

Among the products visitors to the Baseview booth can see is the company’s LiveIQue Web publishing solution.

Baseview recently released LiveIQue 2.0, an upgrade that features image integration, an improved tagging scheme, wireless-device support, a spider function for scalability and cross-platform support, increased performance and the ability to e-mail stories.

The company will preview LiveIQue 2.1, which is expected to be available later this summer.

The new version features access control abilities that allow Web administrators to design packages that site subscribers can sign up for, which will limit their access to content. Access control will allow publishers to provide their news for free, but only to subscribers, to charge subscribers for access to special sections, or a combination of the two pricing schemes.

LiveIQue 2.1 will also feature reports that detail what pages subscribers viewed most, including the ability to cross-reference by demographic data. An import/export function tracks online subscriptions with users’ print circulation systems.

Baseview will also give demonstrations of JazShak, its integrated Web-hosting solution, now with new community building tools, such as threaded discussions that are linked to published articles, polling and an events calendar.

Baseview is offering promotional pricing on the JazShak Web hosting and publishing solution for a limited time.

Baseview has also beefed up its CirculationPro and AdManagerPro products for Web publishing.

CirculationPro 2.0 now features Web integration, allowing subscribers to start a subscription, schedule vacation starts and stops, and make address changes and payments via the newspaper’s Web site. Subscribers can also view recent account history online, including changes, payments, expiration date, and bill-to or gift-giver information.

CirculationPro 2.0 is a major upgrade with more than 50 new features.

AdManagerPro now includes a feature that makes publishing classified ads to the Web as easy as it is to publish them to paper. A new product, Liners Online, lets customers schedule and enter classified ads via the newspaper’s Web site.
