Deploy 1.1

I deployed the 1.1 update for Audience.

- Added support for creating Draft Newsletters.
- Reordered the Schedule and Newsletter setting screen.
- Added Support for loading your RSS Feeds into the newsletter.

Add RSS post to Existing Draft

You can add another RSS feed to an existing draft newsletter. This will be really handy for me doing round-up newsletters.

I'm not really interested in sending an email every time I post to my personal blog. But I do like the idea of doing a round up with my latest posts.

This will be really helpful if I do a series of posts, I could send out the latest one and then include a "Previously on my blog" section.

Draft and Scheduling

Finished off the save as draft function. You can now save a newsletter as a draft and come back to it. Update the draft or schedule it.

Save as Draft

Let users save a newsletter as a draft or update a draft instead of having to schedule the newsletter.

RSS to Newsletter updates

Switched the header from a link and set it to bold and raised the font size.

Added a Read more link that uses the RSS link.

Create newsletter with post from RSS feed

In Audience take an RSS post and create the newsletter.

The next steps will be to look at how this is styled. Currently it has the Title with a link to the post and the description from the RSS Feed. Going to look at templating this and added a "Read More" button that uses your brand colour.

Plus I think some border or box-shadow could be really nice. See the next task for a screenshot.
