Site Update

Now THAT is the sort of title that’s a thrill a minute right there. Barn burner of a start.

So, we’ve been ‘live’ for somewhere in the neighbourhood of a month now, and a few changes have occurred on the site. A few things have been added to hopefully help people interact with the site…and also because I am hopelessly addicted to constantly fussing with apps.

If you look along the top bar, a few new additions have appeared up there. We finally have a Contact page! After a day or so of headaches getting it to work properly, it seems to be up and running now. So if you run in to a problem on the site, have some ideas to contribute, or whatever else, feel free to use it. You can also still contact any of us individually via the email addresses linked to on our About Us profiles.

The second addition is the Table of Contents. It’s basically a site map linking to everything on the site. Using that Options menu at the top, you can also adjust how you’re seeing things listed and structured on that page.

A few other quick changes to mention…there are a few added options now for commenters. You can more easily tweak your text a bit (bold, italics) and embed hyperlinks. Keep in mind that more than 1 link will still get your comment Held for Moderation. This doesn’t mean it’s blacklisted, just that one of us has to Approve it. Also, you can now quote any previous comment.

And the Authors list is now actually one simple application, rather than the pasted together mess that it consisted of earlier. So hit any of our names, and it brings up every post that person has written. You can also subscribe to RSS feeds for each of us individually if you prefer that to the general site-wide RSS (or if you perhaps realize that someone in particular, like…for example…oh, ME…is just awesome). Finally, if you are part way down any page on the site, you’ll see a blue arrow pop up in the bottom right of your screen. Hit that and immediately scroll back to the top.

I think that this is the basic template we’ll be sticking with from this point forward, though my need for apps and tweaking means little changes will probably (who am I kidding? DEFINITELY) appear from time to time. Hopefully you guys like the changes! Also, we’re getting a lot better at responding to comments, so keep those coming. Agree with what you read, disagree, whatever…your words aren’t going to be deleted because you don’t march in lockstep with what one of us thinks so long as you don’t start comparing us to your mother in law. That’s just cruel and uncalled for. And if we’re wrong about something, DEFINITELY let us know! We want what we’re putting up here to be correct.
