v1.1 New Features Explanation

Added update time display on article pages: Articles have a time limit, and visitors cannot easily determine whether the article content is still valid. Therefore, the update time display is added to the article pages, and visitors can roughly judge based on the last update time, as shown in the following image.

Added static file CDN option: In Theme Settings - Basic Settings, a static file CDN option is added. After enabling this feature, some static resources (.css/.js) of Msimple will be loaded from the CDN address provided by Xiaoz, https://libs.xiaoz.top. Please choose whether to enable it.

Added article like feature: At the bottom of the article page, there is a like button. After a visitor likes an article, the button will turn gray and cannot be liked again.

Customizable article description through excerpt: When editing an article, you can check the excerpt option in the top of the editing page - Display Options. This will add an excerpt option at the bottom of each article editing page, where you can set the article description (description). If there is no excerpt, the first 200 characters of the article will be automatically used as the description, which is more SEO-friendly.
