It's not linked on the main site yet since I'm not done.  Though you'll have the news page wich will show news only and then the rants section will show the other articles.  We;re acutaly in the proccess of renameing "rants" to something else.

Just a couple of minor tweaks, Sprig.  I wouldn't mention little things like this, but you're trying to make this a product that you can use around on lots of sites, so I figure I might as well voice my thoughts.

First, it would probably be easier for people if you listed the newer blog items at the top on the admin/edit page too.  My thoughts are that once you have hundreds of the things, it will be a pain to scroll down to the bottom to edit/delete a blog item that you just posted.

Second, on my screen (front main page, blog mod box) the last two pixels of the 'o' in 'Hugo' have been cut off.  the 'awards' wraps around to the next line like it should, but the 'o' gets sliced for some reason.

Oh, and I wanted to give an explanation of the 'EUOLogies' under 'Rants.'  However, the edit pages selection on the backend still has the old version of the page, before you added the EUOLogy archive.  How do I access the new page?

[Spriggan]

1) k, I'll make that change.

2) this dosen't happen in my browser.  Do it happen to anyone else?

3) as of right now you cannot.  I'm working on different page styles so you can use the page manager and set up the article, news and contact page, just need to give me a bit.  Though if you send me the text I'll add it for you.

Fixed the graphics glitch on the main page where there was a bar under the blurbs, it was a problem with the overlap.

if the site dosen't look like mine post a screenshot or e-mail one to me with your browser and version.

Looks good to me.

However, here is something to ask 42.  Doesn't the screen look a little...off-balanced with the picture on the side like that?

Maybe I'm just used to looking at it the other way, but with the picture starting down so low, the whole 'feel' of the man page seems to be thrown off.  Maybe if we had another invisible box, like the news box, to put the picture in?  One that started up as high as the news box, and was translucent at the top (before the picture started)?

I'm not a graphic designer, though, so I can't say too much.  Just ask 42 how it looks, and see if he has any suggestions.

Hey, Sprig.  I just posted a new blurb, but it went second on the list despite my clicking 'always on top.'  Any idea why?

[Spriggan]

because one of the others is set to allwayse on top.  If that's the case it places them in the order they were created.

[EUOL]

Hum.  Now it's not posting my name beside the 'posted by' place on the blurbs section.

[Spriggan]

intresting, for some reason if the blurb is set to "allwase one top" it dosen't show your name, yet it showes mine.  This will be fun to fix.
