Blog Fixes

12 ^PM May 13, 2004

A few minutes ago, I put up a bunch of fixes and enhancements to the site. Amongst other things:

Now better at recognising URLs in comments – underscore and hash are now accepted.

Put navigation panel on the ~~left~~ right hand side. When you view a single post, it will let you navigate to the next or previous item. Also works for monthly archives.

When you click on the title picture, it now takes you to the cardboard.nu home page.

Fixed yet another problem with the CSS and IE.

Thanks to all who pointed out bugs and suggested features – Simon, Jed, Richard, Keith and Charles.

When I took down the Python server, it had been up for ten days and served 44,000 requests. That was better than I had expected for these early days. The database corruption problems seem to have gone away for the time being, too.

alright, can't resist.

pedantic point first: I hate justified text! you only have to look at what happens to your comment on this article to see one reason why!

and while we're nit-picking style sheets, the visual variance between the blogComment and byline styles is so subtle as to pass me by...

last, maybe its just me, or I can't tell my left from my right, but just where exactly is the nav panel ?-)

wish you well, we should do a beer again soon! aveabloodygoodweegend!

Jed,

The nav panel IS on the left. From the browser's point of view that is. From where you would be sitting, looking at the computer screen, it's on the right. :)

Thanks again for your comments. I am starting to appreciate why I am not a professional web page designer.
