You don’t have to answer my questions since they come from righteous laziness most don’t approve of:
1) Why exactly is the site put on a subdomain to “hide” it all of a sudden if you don’t need money?
2) Your site data at first glance is an awesome resource. Your site user interface is not that awesome tho. Outstanding data should have an outstanding front end imho.
a) I downloaded your csv of site data – is it actually complete?
b) I develop mobile apps for a living and have been toying with the idea of building a streaming radio app – tunein radio for those who know already is amazing and complete (and free) so there really isn’t a big need for it.
Not a complaint, just a question/suggestion:
Is there a way to enable ‘preview’ so that we can see how posts/links look before ‘submitting’ the post and making it permanent (short of asking you to delete it)?
e.g. I thought my link (posted in “War in Libya”) would be parsed to automatically launch a separate window, but it doesn’t… and takes the surfer away from this site.
Well, you aren’t techically making posts, you’re making comments, which are lower on the WordPress food chain. I’m relatively new at trying to actually mess around inside WordPress, so my answers are going to be a bit tentative. In general, it should see links and link-ize them. If it’s a big long link, I think you’ll be able to make it a link if you’re html saavy….. create the actual anchor tag…. but I”m not positive of that.
Yes, your terminology is correct… I tend think of this as “posting a comment”, hence my use of the term.
Last time I looked at WordPress (and I’m considering 3.1.1 now) it had an option to allow users to ‘preview’ comments.
Too often, I’ll hit the submit button and then notice an error (spelling/semantic) or other problem I might have caught with a preview option… which also makes it easier to test any links.
If the option/plug-in is not viable, I can encode the anchor link, assuming WP will accept the target= attribute (i.e. ‘_blank’)
My sense (without any real knowledge) is this theme doesn’t support a lot of common features. I’m reluctant to make a career out of reverse engineering CSS
