Hello, faithful readers - to steal a line. Hard to believe that the template has yet to be customized in 8 months, but that is how old kissaboo is. Since there has been an explosion of posts tonight, I thought I would post a few items about the site.
1) I already have 3 column CSS layouts from a couple of sites.... one will be used.
2) I hate comments popping up in their own window... that will be stopped.
3) Notice that the site has a Technorati profile that for some reason hasn't gotten verified. This will be used more.
4) Indications of categories with better groupings
5) RSS will be a big part of the site in the future. This will be customized.
6) Integration with del.icio.us
7) About a half to full dozen other little things
8) Eventually, the fun stuff
9) Feel free to add suggestions
Updated
I'll move my comments into the entry.
Need to add a recent comments sidebar.
Added links to some default feeds. Added Atom - one can learn more about it at AtomEnabled. I'm a fan because other people are, but I'll learn more about it one day.
Added a comment feed using Dive Into Mark's Template - hope this satisfies the Creative Common Requirement.
Still haven't created by own template, but I decided to switch to Gettysburg.
Posted by shs4 at February 18, 2004 01:13 AM | TrackBackThanks. Btw, until a better place is constructed this is the place to post all comments and suggestions about the layout of the site. We care most about content at kissaboo, but the crap has been kicked out of us in the UI game.
Recent comments has been added since when I'm at work I haven't decided on the best way to view RSS feeds at the moment, so it indicates to me when something has been posted.
Soon a change will be made to link to the actual comment, but oh well.
Several properties of comments and trackback should be changed sometime in the future.
Posted by: shs4 at February 20, 2004 01:35 PMI really like the recently added "Recent Comments" section. It makes it really easy to navigate through the recent explosion of comments on the site.
Posted by: maggette at February 20, 2004 04:44 PMTo make a note, besides the fact that I only realized this morning that the dates are for when the article was posted and not when the comment was made - which will be fixed, instead of listing every recent comment for an article, I might only put the most recent and let thread followers discover any other new comments. This might interfere with how one could get a feel for volume, so maybe I won't do this. Also, adding cookies / registration could give an indication on a per user basis how many comments / changes were added since last viewing.
Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
I don't know how it shows up on other people's computers, but this grey text on grey background color scheme on the main page is making it really hard to read the site.
Posted by: maggette at February 26, 2004 10:53 AMI guess to honor Ash Wednesday I gave up making modifications to the site. The celebration of Grey Tuesday has gone on a little longer than planned, but unfortunately the color changes weren't just commented out of the CSS and I don't want to get adventurous, so tonight we'll go back to the way things were.
Posted by: shs4 at February 26, 2004 12:17 PMI finally tried del.icio.us today. Surfing through related bookmarks works surprisingly well for discovering new sites.
Plus it's a decent bookmark organizer too.
