Stephanie Booth's online ramblings
Technical issues around social media. For the geekier-minded.
Quite some time ago, I said I wanted this site to be bilingual.
It is now clear that there is one way it will not be done: I will not translate each page to give a “French” and an “English” version of the site – nor will I translate word for word everything that I write. I just can’t.
So you will find stuff in English, some in French, and some in both. If you don’t know both languages, you might miss things – that’s how it is in the real world, isn’t it?
New look for this page!
Something to keep you waiting until it gets really better – let’s keep hoping!
Yes, you! I know people are visiting this site : )
At the moment, it is you I am talking about…
I don’t have a guestbook, but I do have a really cool comment link at the bottom of each blog entry… get my drift?
; ) leave a little mark!
I’ve added a functioning search engine to my site, courtesy of Atomz.
Try it!
Finally, after days and days of sweating, I found the solution to the “comment counting” problem. Thanks a lot to all the kind people who looked into it.
Now you can all see that nobody adds any comments to my posts ; )
Yay! I got a great cool free site meter. Peek at the little shiny square at the bottom of each page.
And hey, that means I have graphics on my site at last!! hehee.
I just realised that I forgot to mention I had killed the music section. If I want to suggest a music pick to you, I’ll do it here.
Apart from that, I’m not really happy with the look of my site. I’ve tried changing all the fonts to Verdana, but I’m not even sure it’s better. The size of my titles collides with my text.
Sure, teeny winsy fonts look much more “pro” – but I have such a hard time reading them that I can’t bring myself to put them on my site.
I know my site lacks graphics, I have been planning to put up some pictures for nearly a year and a half, now. Only before that, I need to sort my slides and scan them – as for creating graphics, forget about it: I can’t draw to save my life.
The “comments” feature is now functional (except it doesn’t show the number of comments on the link), so go ahead and use it as much as you please – I’ll be happy to read them comments, you know…
There – done with the whining. Though if you have any constructive solutions, I’d be glad to hear them!!
While checking out my “places” these last days I noticed a really cool “comments” feature in jo’s weblog.
I’m currently implementing it on my site, and I’m very happy it uses PHP – I love PHP! – so don’t worry if it takes a day or two to be functional…
Here is the code for these comments. More information at blogger discuss developers forum.
Please don’t make any comments about people who blog every five minutes ; ) – I’m in the blogger directory at last.
Big thanks to the webmistress for pointing out the missing link.
There. Done. Too late.
I’m becoming more and more like the common weblogger.
I’ve registered at updatefu.com and weblogs.com…
