New Blog Format

Hi Stephen I sent an email to David this morning I found that text was being lost between and around the photos (existing blogs), and also if you open up a photo and then back out to resume reading I was sent to the Blog section home page and then I had to open the blog I was reading again.

Agree the photos are a lot clearer now and the text not between or at the side of the photos is easier to read.

Cheers

What is the max kb size for jpeg as I shoot in RAW and convert to jpeg and some of the images are still 6-8mb in jpeg may be too big. What size for jpeg image do you recommend for your site.

Stephen,

Thanks - you can reply to people who respond to your post if they do it as a discussion - this uses the forum logic and you would simply reply using the created thread. From the blog you would click on Read Response and this would take you to the forum page. If they submit a review this is sort of locked.

I understand this is not 100% but I have some ideas. For ease of management software and flexibility of editing I am trying to steer the comments/replies system into the forum - the linking may not be 100% yet but I am looking into it.

Image wrapping - It is very hard to have switched from fixed width to responsive for the blog images. The system in this area is not finished so I would suggest you hold off any major reformatting till I finalise the blog system in the next few weeks.

It's the world we live in, you have to get used to change, we personally like the new system as it makes it easier to look things up on the iphone.
Well done.

Three things that are missing from the previous iteration;

1. The ability to seach a members blog list by specific date. At the moment it simply lists them from latest to earliest. In the old system you were able to pull up blogs by date...say Oct 2008. It would then provide a list of your blogs for that month. This doesn't happen anymore.

2. Can't search your specific blog list by text. It searches the entire EO blog index and returns hits for all blogs, not the individual members. If you're looking for one of your canning blogs, you may have to scroll through 20 pages before you find it which leads to my third point below.....

3. Can't specify how many blogs to view in the blog list. You used to have the choice of 25, 50 or 100. Not anymore. You have to scroll through 16 pages in my case to find earlier blogs. Not so much of a hardship if you had an option to select from the 16 pages in the first instance but that is also not provided. You only have four. The Next button only brings up the next page so you have a lot of pages to open before I can get to a blog from 2009 say at Page 13!

Hopefully small potatoes that will be added later.
