some new functions went up today. Regular contributers can now add different projects (like the main beta page.) This should make it possible to create both public and private discussion areas. I just finished, and I'm kind of tired, so there are probably bugs (the code is getting rather labyrinthine at this point) but I'm sure I'll find them tomorrow. Perhaps it's a little hard to understand / navigate at this point, but more instructions plus better design is hopefully on the way. If you keep using it, it will get better. Thanks.
this one is for our park loving friend.
You mean somebody is reading my page? Thanks Alex. Are those really her lips?
Jim, the TBTF internal link from 1/27 gives me a 404. The direct link from a few days earlier works ok. There I see a pair of familiar lips which I used to be involved with, a story for another time and place, but let me say that I have been initiated into the very deepest mysteries of capitalism (the consumer side, that is) and so I am now a free man.
It appears to be true: the New York Times is no longer requiring a registration to read their web site! I know it was always free, but I just didn't like having to fill in forms of personal info (even though you could just fill in whatever you wanted.) Usually at sites that require a sign in, the name 'cypherpunk' with the password 'cypherpunk' (sometimes the plural) will work, but this never really hooked me up at the times. Now I don't have to worry about it - unless it's just some glitch in their system. I guess we'll know soon.
Posting from work seems to work. Dratfink looks all wrong on this system; the new post is papered over the older material, leaving mostly blank page with a bit of cropped material visible on the left edge.
Always better to have your own. Jim, you can dump pictures 9 & 10; I've replaced them with smaller versions.
I know there is a problem with editing posts where the post reappears in the posting box with a lot of whitespace at the beginning. This doesn't really matter in terms of the main page, but it looks sort of bad while editing. Not sure why this is happening (seems like mysql is adding it in for some reason) but that's on my list to fix too.
I have opened things up a bit to our vast public (ha!) Everyone who hits digitalmediatree.com now goes to the framed main page, although unrecognized people don't see as many functions on the top. Everybody can now click on [ main beta ] so that page is live. Everyone can comment (discuss) Please let me know if anything is not working, or if you have any ideas for making things better and/or easier. Also, we are looking for ideas to make a real list of categories.
starting to get the discussion on line. This is for testing...
