🎨✨ Layout Love & Delete Power
July 21, 2025
This week we're giving you more control over your content and more ways to make it beautiful. Plus, Summerween is still brewing if you want to get weird with it.
🎨 New Post Layout Options
Your posts can now be more than just text and images. We've added layout options that let you control how your content flows and feels.
Choose from different arrangements that highlight your photos, create visual stories, or just make your posts feel more intentional. Because the way something looks affects how it lands.
Same authentic content, better presentation. No algorithms deciding what gets seen.
🗑️ Delete Your Posts & Blog Posts
Sometimes you want to take something down. Now you can delete your posts and blog posts whenever you need to.
We believe you should have full control over your own content. Post with confidence knowing you can always change your mind later.
👻 Summerween Still Haunting
Our Summerween Contest runs until September 22, with $250 going to the most atmospheric entry. We're seeing some genuinely unsettling creativity already.
Post anything eerie, strange, or beautifully haunted and tag it #summerween. Horror fiction, creepy photo sets, disturbing playlists, weird Deep Dives... whatever captures that hot summer ghost vibe.
Winner announced September 27. Make us feel something strange.

✨ What's New on LavishMade
June 30, 2025
This week, we've focused on refining the experience quietly smoothing out the rough edges, tightening up how things feel, and making the platform more comfortable and expressive to use.
🧵 Unified Feed (Optional)
If you've enabled Single Stream View in your profile settings, you'll now see a "View All" link—bringing all your posts, blogs, and deep dives together into one flowing feed. Simple, chronological, and fully yours.
Prefer tabs instead? You can toggle between Tabbed View and Single Stream View anytime from your profile's Display Preferences.
📱 A Better Deep Dive, Now in Your Pocket
We've improved how deep dives feel on mobile. Whether you're exploring long-form posts or scrolling through photos, it should now feel smoother and more natural wherever you are.
🖼️ Smarter, Simpler Image Uploads
We've added gentle improvements to how images are uploaded and previewed so things just work. You'll get clearer feedback when something's off, and faster handling when everything's good to go.
✏️ Cleaner Post Editing
We've simplified the edit screen only tags and mentions appear now, with embeds and media staying neatly in the preview. Editing should feel more focused and less cluttered.
💬 Smoother Messaging
Typing indicators, real-time updates, and better auto-scrolling now make conversations feel more present. Messaging feels more like a real exchange not a delayed one.
⚡ Faster Image Loading
We've quietly upgraded the way LavishMade handles image delivery behind the scenes. Your content loads faster now without compressing the creative soul out of it.
Every update we make is meant to help you feel more at home here. Thanks for building LavishMade with us one post, one deep dive, one shared moment at a time.
