Creek Running North

Your efforts are appreciated, thanks for all the tech upgrades and making your site almost too user friendly.  I wonder when there will be a “what did i miss” feature that collects posts put up when the user login has not been noted for a few days??? Just kidding, really.  Well sort of…

I hate to suggest additional work, but one feature that might be kind of useful would be to have the RSS feed indicate when a post is continued “below the fold.”

I’ll see what I can do about that, Dave. Makes sense.

Funny you should make this post, Chris. I was just looking at the “register” feature today wondering what it was for.

Tech question: what’s the diff between an “RSS feed” that Dave mentions, vs. the button that says,"Read Full Entry”?

For the irregular reader who likes to get through new posts quickly, a link to previous and next posts at the top of the page is very handy; not all of us get time to read to the end of the comments.

Thank-you for the opportunity to make a suggestion and have a nice day.

Dearest OG McCrouton, an RSS feed is a different format for this blog, which you can read in an aggregator instead of coming here to the site. And I have so far failed to provide clues in the formatting of said document that are the equivalent of the button you mention.

Also, aggregators are very dangerous, and have been ever since they evolved back in the Cretaceous.

As an interim measure, I added the below-the-fold text to the feed.

No I didn’t, as it turns out. Hmm.

OK, I finally got a moment to officially sign up.

So, next tech question: how do I add my Avatar? I found the default ones, but how do you upload your own?

Oh, by the way - even though I “agreed” to the terms of registration, I’m afraid as the WAAGNFNP Minister of Justice, I had to issue a signing statement saying that I don’t really have to abide by those laws.

Surely you understand. I mean, look at that thing. How can the MOJ possibly conduct the Peoples’ Business of show trials, witch hunts, and cage matches under those restrictions?

Welcome aboard, Oaktown Girl! Abandon all hope ye who etc.

With regard to the avatar: we’re using Gravatar, and while the Gravatar servers are being martinized (or something) they’re not accepting any new avatars. But that should end sometime this coming month. You can check in at http://www.gravatar.com.

OK, thanks.  I have seen that Mr. Fox has his own cute little fox photo avatar, and was wondering how he got that since it’s certainly not among the default choices.
