A Few Quick BransonBlog Fixes

posted by jstanforth — 22 November 2004 at 8:33 PM

Thanks to everyone who reported problems with the RSS feed this weekend… Not content to leave well enough alone, I’ve been tinkering with new features in the background and mangled a few things in the process. I’ll repost the Rebel Reactions and Branson vs. Trump posts here this week, but first, let’s roll out a few quick fixes…  

  • The site now has Channels, browseable categories for each topic area, and all previous posts have now been categorized for your convenience. :-)  
  • Note: Since assigning these categories modified all the post dates, I reset them manually. If your aggregator has ’Update time’ issues with this, don’t worry… it’s only a one-time thing needed to implement this feature.
  • Cleaned up the CSS a bit, moving content to the top of the columns. Still needs more work to verify cross-browser compatibility.
  • Shortened the main page to show only posts from the past seven days. (Channel pages show all posts.)
  • Shortened the RSS feed to only show seven days of posts as well.

If you experience further problems, of course, please drop us an email at editors @ this site name. Thanks!
