Coming Home to Kansas






10.15.2005

New, take 2

I hope no one was super in love with the previous look. I liked it a lot, but it wasn't that usable, and I should have figured that out before I posted it. (Sorry.)

This one is better and more useable because of the sidebar links to previous posts. That will make it easier to see what's new so you won't accidently miss any posts. (I thought of this after I missed reading Jen's update for a few days!) The white background is for Sarah so she can read the posts from her phone.

If you go to the bottom of the page, or see the last link on Previous Posts, you'll see not all of our posts appear on this page anymore. If you want to read an entry that's not on the page or on the list, click on the final Previous Posts entry. When that entry is brought up, the post list will now show older post names. In that way, you can gradually make your way to very old posts.

Likewise with the Archived month links. The entire month's posts will not appear once you click there; you have to move your way back.

In the archives and want to access the front page and earliest post? The page title, "Coming Home to Kansas" will take you to the main page.

Ok, dumb Blogger banner at the top. It's something that Blogger automatically inserts, and I have no idea why our previous design did not include it. I have gone over every inch of coding in this new design and cannot get rid of it. Sorry.

Hey Ellie is there any way to bring previous posts from the sidebar back to the main white screen whenever someone posts a comment? I find the comments are just as much/more fun than the actual posts! I dunno, that may be difficult to do....

I really like this design -- it looks great. How do we arrange to get emails with new posts/comments?

When the invite e-mail comes, accept it. Everyone is set up automatically to receive every comment. If you want to change that preference, there'll be a link explaining how to do that in the response e-mail.
