More Kinks

Filed under: Admin — Chas @ 9:18 am

Last night, while over some Commodore Perry IPA at the Grovewood Tavern — which conveniently enough offers Wi-Fi — Adam helped me move the archives over to the new site. They will remain as “uncategorized” because if you think I’m going to go back and log some 3000+ posts into the right groupings… There’s still some things to work out, like making the “next page” icon at the bottom of the site visible to see older posts in the month. It’s there, but blends in the background.

We also took a look at the coding for the layout to see why some people were having some troubles with overlaps. The conclusion: it’s your fault. It was fine on our computers and on others of some people I called and checked. You may need to check your screen resolution and sharpen it more.

On the subject of commenting, here’s the thing. Everything is being caught when the e-mail field isn’t filled in. You don’t even need to use a real e-mail address. Pitt@pitt.com would be fine. The comment spam catchers just need to know you are a real person and not some spambot. I’m trying to find the right balance between giving everyone their comfort level for privacy/anonymity versus the beasts of comment spam and having to moderate and/or review all comments.





To change to color of a given object, use CSS to define a text color. Then, apply the style to only the text you want colored that way.

There’s an issue that affects me, but isn’t very critical. Is there any way to go back to the old RSS Style of each feed link pointing to the anchored spot on the main page? I found it easier when catching up to click on the story on a feed menu (in firefox) for the oldest one I haven’t read, then just scrolling up and reading them in chronological order. The new system links each story as it’s own page, and we need to go back to the main page, find it, and scroll up to read. Perhaps that’s just my browsing style and I don’t mind if it doesn’t change, but I thought I’d bring it up.

Cheers for an awesome site! GO PITT!

Your meta’s aren’t working. The My Yahoo tag doesn’t result in the site being added.

The pagination links on the main page and archive pages are showing up in the footer now. Look for the arrows. I’ll have them flowing on individual posts in a bit.

The metadata for the feeds on the side was just drop-copied in from the old site, so I’ll take a look at it. Trackbacks will be up shortly as well.

If you want to get rid of the underline on the pagination arrow, use the CSS “text-decoration:none”

I’m sorry for being a web design geek.

At what point do we capture the spirit of Old Pitt Sports Blather, cart it away in a Brinks truck and release it triumphantly on this site?

You guys are speaking Greek to me. I have enough trouble with the “Back” button.

“I’m so fucken proud of this web design.”

lol

Sweet…you listened to me about the no-underline.

Comment by Matt 08.03.06 @ 9:38 am

“It’s you fault.”

Spoken like a true lawyer, Chas. 😉

Comment by Shawn 08.03.06 @ 10:50 pm

Nah, Matt, didn’t really listen to you, just copied the CSS from my own site and changed the hexadecimal color. 😉

*waves magic HTML wand to confuse and amaze the non-geeks*

“Hexadecimal Color” would be a great band name.
