Blogging Issues
So this new format seems to have thrown some things off. What I'm hearing:
- not able to see comments as you write your own comment
- comments being eaten
- what else?
To address the first one,
-here's a link to a Blogger page that shows browser compatibility. It also notes that you need to enable cookies and Javascript. Are you compatible with this stuff?
I check the spam filter almost daily and I only see a couple of valid comments (versus real spam) getting in there. I'm not sure if a comment isn't in there and you wrote and posted it (but it doesn't show up), where it goes.
I will try to get this fixed as soon as I can.

Comments
Also, collapse comments is gone. I found it helpful when trying to reply to questions to be able to collapse some of the text and open others.
Thanks!
Honestly, if I look at the improvements ("most popular" from this week, district calendar, etc) vs the drawbacks (sterile white background fading into no distinct layout contrasts (that we had before), tiny comments/edit box, having to wait until the whole site reloads, plus the huge sluggish response, I actually prefer the old format overall- (sorry!)
FWIW, I'm running Firefox on Windows Vista (I know, I know - I gotta get around to upgrading to Win 7: I even have the discs!). YMMV.
1 - expand browser compatibility - the Seattle library system doesn't quite work with the new set-up
2 - the blog loads slowly and "stutters" or "flickers" when switching pages/articles - ditto when clicking on comments -
-JC.
I have had a few munched comments -- but it may have been my fault somewhere in the log on process. I also liked the collapse comments feature -- it helped to find comments (by author) especially on threads with lots (hundreds) of comments.
Firefox 5 (?) on Win 7.
-Love that westseattleblog
I also experience sluggish loading issues - and posting is always problematic.
Thanks for all your hard work.
I bet you could sign on sponsors and atleast get something for your efforts!!!
The colors/contrasts are so much better (atleast for these poor eyes of mine), but I can see now it wasn't the background color but instead maybe the type, size & boldness of font, in addition to the other brightly colored headlines, but in addition its the the well defined columns with the wide color bands on both sides (rather than the massive "white-out" feeling).
Also, it now scrolls smoothly up & down like it used to, without the frustrating stops & hops! It goes from 0-60 in two seconds (up & down the page)! I don't know if it's just that change takes time to get used to, but I really prefer this format visually & functionally.
*********************
What I was going to add were 2 more things that I really like with the West Seattle blog- they have multiple tabs at the top that are fantastic (I could think of many uses on this blog for tabs like this- a SPS calendar, resource links, other blog links, issues, etc).
The other thing I really like is visually in the WS blog is the use of "highlighted boxes" (with light blue background) imbedded in the main entry text and used in the comments section also- it really helps to break up the big blinding white-out feeling also.

in your new blog, I cannot post AT ALL! I am only posting this now because as SP just noted the comments came up tonight as the old SSS format, where I can comment as I do now. But in your new format, when I try to post I am asked to "select prefix" from a drop-down list that doesn't drop down, so I can never preview or post, either anonymously or with a chosen moniker. Where are the old "Choose an identity" bubbles to click?
After this last chance to post from the old format tonight, if I am quiet from now on Melissa, that's the reason why! The new format is not allowing at least some of us to post at all.
running FireFox 7.0.1
running Safari 5.1.1
both work fine.
I'm running Safari 5 - even updated to Safari 5.1.1 to see if that might help - on a Mac with 10.6.8 and a Netflix-streaming-fast network. I've also had problems posting from my iPad.
