Plus many others. • Videos abound, in posts and in section backgrounds. • You can new search a huge image and video content library. • A brand new site organiser allows you to move posts and sections around, duplicate them and create new pages. • Tons of new design options like transparent menus, sharp and soft boxing, horizontal scrolling and so much more. • Every post now has call to action options, including it's own button. • And so, so, much more. We're always looking for ways to continue to make Shock the easiest way to express yourself online and we love seeing what you create so don't be shy and let us know what you think.
