I have to run out, but off the top of my hat I notice top texts missing on a number of pages: /schwarz, /nola, /tommoody/miscellaneous, /dorispiserchia/weblog, tommoody/artwork/77-96, /tommoody/artwork/2002...

Also, style choices (link, vlink, upper left corner graphic, etc) are no longer listed as fields in [editpage]. I tried adding them to the style sheet, but I'm still getting mixed link colors. I'll check in later today.

Thanks Tom. Missing top_text makes sense. I'll put them back in. We can deal with the links no problem.

Your links should be correct now Tom.

The controls are gone for link color from editpage, but you can still control them (even moreso now) in the style sheet (which you can edit on [editpage].)

The format is:

A {color: #xxxxxx;}

where xxxxxx is the six digit hexadecimal color code. See here for details on these codes.

You can also include these lines in style sheet:

A:visited {color: #xxxxxx;}

to set the color of visited links.

A:hover {color: #xxxxxx;}

to set the color of links that are being moused over.

Note the ending semicolon before the closing curly bracket.

Thanks. Another thing I've noticed is the logs on my (and the Piserchia site's) "use your own html" pages aren't recording hits. I can make a list of those pages if you want.

• I know you're busy, but if you could at least get my logs turned on for /tommoody/contents and /dorispiserchia, it would be appreciated. BTW, it's great having the same font on the comment pages now as on the main page. Thanks.

• Yeah, it grabs the same style_sheet from the main page, so you can really have a lot of control (background colors, etc...) Getting on the logs....

a search on my page? jim, youre spoiling me.
- dave 4-29-2002 2:52 am [add a comment]

Good work Jim, I like the dratfink search function, and hitting return works like a mouse click, nice touch. One thing though, text for new post/comments and posters is too small for me to read. We went through this once before, I solved it by turning Javascript off. What should I do now?
- steve 4-29-2002 6:28 am [add a comment]

Also, I notice a [link] appearing next to links. For instance, on Schwarz, next to any of his links it gives the date of the post as well as [link]. Clicking on it takes me to a blank page with only that post on it. Same for Arboritum. Next to each pic that has a link in the accompanying text there is that [link]. In the case with Alex's page clicking on it just takes me to the top of the page.
Is that supposed to be there?
- steve 4-29-2002 6:40 am [add a comment]

• yes. thats if you want to link directly to a specific post versus just to the page its on. all the cool kidZ are doin it.
  - dave 4-29-2002 6:57 am [add a comment]




• It would be clearer if it said "Want to link to this post? Click here to see URL in address bar." I realize it's wordy, but I didn't have a clue till just now what [link] meant. And I'm the coolest.

• ill teach you the secret handshake next week.
  - dave 4-29-2002 7:29 am [add a comment]




• To me that's too wordy, but I could be convinced. There is precedent for the inscrutible permanent link link, and [link] is actually not that bad compared to most weblog systems that use weird little graphic icons.
  - jim 4-29-2002 4:41 pm [add a comment]




• This feature existed before. It used to say 'posted by x' in the line after each post, and the word 'posted' was a link to just that post. The new way is a little more obvious. You can turn this off in [editpage] by setting 'permanent link after each post' to 'no.' Obviously on some pages, like an arboretum photo page where there is only one post on the page, the permanent link is unnecessary. Once you create one page with permanent links off, you can just clone that page when creating new ones, and these links will then always be off (cloning is the top option when [create]ing new pages - 'make this page just like...')

What about the font size situation for the poster's name, edit etc. It is indecipherable. Also, instead of the red "new" indicating a new post there is a black question mark.
?
- steve 4-30-2002 5:43 pm [add a comment]

• Hmmm. My above post showes the red "new".
  "new" never used to appear for my own posts. I don't mind that. The black "?" still appears in place of the red "new" on other poster's new comments.
  - steve 4-30-2002 5:46 pm [add a comment]




• Not sure about the ?. I'll try to figure that out. Yes, posters now see there own comments as new when the page reloads. There are technical reasons for this if anyone is interested.
  - jim 4-30-2002 6:06 pm [add a comment]




• It seems that the small font size for posted by/time/add a comment and the question mark only appear on the comments which are indented.
  BTW, now "add a comment/comment" on Dratfink's main page is fuckin' huge.
  - steve 5-03-2002 12:21 am [add a comment]




• Yeah, I changed the posted by so that it was bigger (for you.) Is it bigger than the text on dratfink? I'll look for that question mark. You've narrowed it down.
  - jim 5-03-2002 12:25 am [add a comment]




• The posted by on Dratfink is probably 3 points larger than the text. I'll try to pay more attention to consistancies in the bugs.
  - steve 5-03-2002 12:30 am [add a comment]

OK, when I go to the top of this thread the black ? has replaced all red "new"s
- steve 4-30-2002 5:47 pm [add a comment]

Looking the other pages over, it seems that once I have viewed a comment the "new" gets replaced with a question mark.
- steve 4-30-2002 6:04 pm [add a comment]

Can you just increase your default font size in navigator preferences? That would be the best solution. I don't specify any absolute font sizes on the site. Anything you see is a default set by your browser. Do you have trouble reading any other sites? I would think you do if the type here is too small. The posted by line after each post is just designated as font size=smaller which is tells your browser to render it one size smaller than your default. If you increase your default size then everything should be readable. But maybe there is some other problem?

The spacing on schwarz now seems off. link and add a comment/comment now appear very close above the previous post. Here's how I see it:




Schwarz

frontier house
