So, how is everyone doin? A site redesign always takes a while to get used to, if only because we changed a lot of things around. So a lot of the complaints are about that. For example, Nancy Willing wanted the authors of each post added on the front page. Well, they are already there, just in a different spot than before.
We have fixed the text color of blockquotes. We are working on modifying the recent comments list so that you can see in what post the comments are.
One thing this new design allows you to do is display a specific “avatar” for your handle. If you do not have a gravatar yet, go here and create one.
Also,(and this may have been mentioned already) the “Recent Comments” section doesn’t indicate onto which post the new comment was added. You have to click through “More –>”.
Way cool, are they boxed in just for me in this post 🙂 ?
Yes, so I could show you where they were.
DG, on my PC if the cursor is waved across ‘more ->’, the post in question’s URL is flashed across the bottom of the page.
It’s weird that the boxes act as a picture –they activate the ‘save picture’ function.
The whole thing is a picture. The boxes are just drawn on the screenshot.
LOL. Nancy, the above image with the red boxes is just an image, not an actual post. I took a screenshot of the page so that I could show you where the author’s name was located.
so right you are
Well then, that explains the picture function, doesn’t it. Screenshot. Who knew?
DD, as you know from DE Way, I ain’t no techie!
How does one get a gravatar? This site make me want to have one.
Nancy, go to this site: http://en.gravatar.com/
Thanks, NW. Cool shortcut. It helps. I still don’t like it but everything else is solid.
Still looking to book a flight:)!!
You might have to get used to the calendar, JC. 🙂
I’m going to see if I can make the damn calendar bigger!
If you do that, then you’re crossing into DV pin-up territory–and UI will be in a tailspin!
now that is an idea, JC! A Delaware Liberal Calendar! 2 more contributors and we have a full year.
That’s right DD-you each get a spotlight month–your photos, issues, anxieties, and recipes too!
kind of like the news journal – way too confusing. I used to count on you for political news since the news journal switchover (which caused me to know less and less everyday). Now it seems I will have walk around completely uninformed (which some may say I already am). Sorry, I’m done.
Ouch. The News Journal….that was low.
You’ll be back.
We are saddened to lose you. I don’t see what is confusing about it. I guess moving the main column of stories from the center column to the left column is more than you can handle.
I’m warming to it. It’s starting to grow on me. Good work, bitches!
Gracias, hombre.
All the AJAX stuff is working for me now, LG! Good work by the whole DL Team. Hey, how do we get to use an avatar? I wanted to use Mike Matthew’s picture for mine. 🙂
Hi A1. Glad to hear it is working for you. I think you can go to gravatar.com and it it based on your email address.
…and I’m going to keep pointing it out, because it is the absolute hilight of the new design, the facebook link: “F Delaware Liberal!” Best.thing.ever! 😀
…it it based on your email address
Sure is…my Simpson-look-alike follows me around, because I am consistent with the email address I provide on the comment-info.
