This is the 21st in our series of Drupal Gardens 'What's New' posts, and we think this one is especially worth celebrating. Need to restrict valuable content on your site to only privileged users? Want to crop, rotate or resize uploaded images in your posts? Wish you could click to perform bulk delete or other operations on lists of users, content or media? Long for better control over how comments are displayed on your site? With this release, we've got you covered.
Among the 75,000 sites created to date, Drupal Gardens has attracted many enterprise customers who have sites with significant traffic and demanding requirements. They must ensure that their site's content is properly categorized by the major search engines.

Acquia partner, Deeson Online has created many web sites for musicians and artists using Drupal, so they weren’t phased by the request from a music industry executive to help create a site to promote donations to The Band Aid Charitable Trust.
The site www.bandaid.org.uk will be advertised at the end of an upcoming special Christmas episode of Glee to be aired in the UK on December 15.
It's the details that matter. This Drupal Gardens release includes two important refinements that will benefit every website. First, any of your site listings or mashups created with Views can now take advantage of a new smooth-loading pager that can show more items without a page load. Use it on any View including blog rolls, lists of images or users, and custom content, such as record albums. Using this feature will help keep your visitors engaged longer, and give your site a modern feel.
Have you ever needed to quickly add audio, videos or images from the major web services like SoundCloud, Flickr, Vimeo, and BrightCove? Or wished you could control who can see certain parts of your site's content or user profiles? Now you can.
To make your site stand out from the crowd, we know that designers and site builders like you need to craft unique web site experiences. To make this goal easier, the Drupal Gardens team recently made two powerful new modules available to all 60,000+ Drupal Gardens sites. First, you can now extend the look and feel of your site using powerful 3rd-party libraries, and second, you can collect important required or optional information from your site's members.

One of the most frequent questions we’ve received since we launched Drupal Gardens has been - “where can I find someone to build a Drupal Gardens site for me?” Now, we have an answer.
Hi there! My name is Gary Wu and I'm a recent addition to Acquia. I've just completed my second week as the new product manager for Drupal Gardens so I wanted to introduce myself to the Drupal-verse. As a newcomer to both Acquia and Drupal, the past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of learning for me so as part of my introduction, I thought I'd share some observations from my initial experiences with you so you can also get a sense of what Drupal and Acquia are about.
This release of Drupal Gardens has something for every site builder. In particular, support for custom date/time fields has been one of the most requested features. As is the Drupal Gardens norm, we kept the bar high and only added these modules after putting in enough design, engineering and testing to deliver a UX that was easier, but not watered down.
At Acquia, we created a Drupal Showcase site to display some of the most beautiful Drupal websites around. We wanted to highlight some of the more popular sites in a featured carousel when people visit the site.
