Quick Hits & Other Misc.

On Quick Hits:

  • Yes Bob, I look at them, although I only noticed their existence yesterday.  I agree that a snippet is superior to just a headline & link.
  • Can only the editors produce QHs?  I don’t see any “write a QH” option anywhere.
  • Not possible to comment, correct?  QHs are akin to radio headlines ‘n teasers?

    On the HOME button at the bottom of the page:  Clicking it automatically logs me off :(.  However, I do end up back at the top of the main page. đŸ™‚

    On Posting a Comment:  Often lately, when I click “post a comment”, I get flipped to a weird ‘nowhere’ page.  If I click the ‘back’ button, I usually end up on the comment window.  I am certain that I am not double-clicking.

    1. would do better as simple front-page posts. Nothing wrong with short stories. In fact, the nationals often do just fine with nothing more than “Open Thread.”

    2. And I have just posted an Open Thread on the budget in your honor Steverino. As to Lynne’s comments, those lie with the SoapBlox gods. I am as mystified as you.

      • And lack of admin control of Soapblox, as well as its monthly cost, is why I am steering mucho mucho clear of it for my own upgrade. đŸ™‚

        Sue me, I’m a technical control freak…plus, I already pay for my own hosting, I might as well use it for all my projects.

        WordPress is just about the best damned blogging software out there, anyway. beams

        • it just took me 6 tries to get a comment window to open and stable in another thread.  ugh!  raj – you better appreciate my comment for all that effort! đŸ™‚

          • Do you have some funny setting related to cookies in your browser?  That’s the only thing I can think of — that for some reason when you jump from screen to screen, soapblox can’t find the cookie on the new screen, so it logs you out/won’t post the comment/whatever.

            • well, the comment window problem doesn;t happen every time, but the home click-log off thing might be explained that way.  i’ll experiment with the settings &/or change browsers (I use Firefox) and let you know what happens.  good suggestion, thx.

        • have other people come in and post diaries on Word Press, like you can on Soapblox?  I’m thinking of setting up a blog for my hometown, and I’m exploring my options.  I don’t just want it to be my blog, I want the whole community involved.
