Twerking... I mean tweaking things
You don't want to see me twerk. It's an abomination of nature. I've never been a car guy, beyond using my car to get from point A to point B. If it's anything more complicated than changing a ...
*sigh*
All right, so this experiment in navigation, based on the majority of feedback I've received, is mostly a failure. But that's OK. You may have to put up with the current navigation for a few da...
Better Navigation(?), Part Two
OK, so the navigation on the entry page should be consistently at the bottom of the page below the Leave a comment box. It's basically the same format, but slightly different depending on how yo...
Better Navigation, Part One
I'm not really a fan of the current entry navigation. I'd like to eliminate it in favor of a cleaner, more intuitive system. I've taken the first step. If you like to browse the latest entries...
Draft fix
I broke the draft feature last night when I changed the navigation to always sort by publish date (because drafts don't have a publish date). So hopefully that is fixed now. A draft no longer h...
Things I've changed and conveniently forgot to mention
"My Prose box" is now "My profile". At first I thought it was cute to have the prose box, in which you put your prose books, in which you write prose entries, upon which people leave prose comm...
Hiding from the public
In preparation to allow search engines to index any public content on Prosebox, I offer a special new setting for the more reclusive types. Based on feedback from a previous update, I offer you ...
Journal Theme fixed
I just realized that the Journal theme wasn't really loading. I fixed it. It's got a hot pink menu bar and serif font. For the manly gents, think of it more as a salmon color. It's quite nice...
Themes and Icons!
Good news everyone! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHfOejlvVsY First of all, there's a load of new themes available to you, courtesy of Bootswatch. People have complained about the font being ...
IMPORTANT Future Privacy Change
As many of you are already aware, a while back I made changes so that Google and other search engines would NOT index any user-created pages on the site, including public entries. On further ref...
Front Page Makeover
You might notice that the landing page you see when not logged into Prosebox has been altered significantly. While I have enjoyed the humorous elements (e.g. fake testimonials) that have been th...
Prosebox News, now with less "I've already seen that"
You now have a button on the main page to hide news items you've already seen. News will remain hidden until I add something new. Valuable real estate restored!
Private comments only
I've added the option to the entry editor to only accept private comments. Let's make sure this works.
Formatting fix
Some of you may have noticed inappropriate spaces being added to your entries when adding formating like bold or italics. (notice there is no space between the word and period) Should be fixed no...
News Carousel? How nifty.
That's right! No longer shall my news items simply drop into oblivion. Oh no, the latest three news items will rotate at the top of the main page, making it much harder to miss them. I'm not s...
Happy editor fun time
Ok, so it's not a rich text editor, but here's a toolbar for you. It's still Markdown. The preview function is better integrated. It's definitely an improvement. Enjoy!
Locked down and secure
You should now be seeing a lock in your browser bar, along with https. This is cool because it means nobody can intercept what you are receiving and posting. Everything is more secure. Howev...
Spies Like Us
My apologies to people who have had problems getting into the site. Who knew that transferring a web domain could be such a pain in the... prosebox? Good news is that the site is rocketing forw...
Moving things, breaking things
I decided I was finished with Godaddy.com and transferred my domain elsewhere. In the process, I forgot to fix "prosebox.net" without the www prefix. So it was probably down for a little while....
Time zones
You should now be able to set your time zone under Settings. And this will affect the date and time you see on the site when it's listed. :-)
Prosebox, now with less "The dog ate my entry!"
I've seen a couple of entries today about entries being eaten by Prosebox. Prosebox doesn't actually decide to mess with you and randomly eat entries - most likely, you either thought you hit th...
Q&A, Part One
First off, THANK YOU! Initially, I was so reluctant to come to PB for the same reasons that so many are still clinging for dear life over at OD. Even though this site doesn't feel quite like "...
Comments - now with twice the awesome!
I revamped the entry page for commenting. First of all, the Leave a Comment form is now at the bottom of the page. If you don't feel like scrolling through all the comments to get to it, never ...
URLs, opening in a new tab
Since I want to make it as difficult as possible for people to leave Prosebox, I decided to fix URLs in entries so they will open in a new window or tab. You don't have to worry about it, should...
Entry preview text!
Yes! Rock and roll. EDIT: Sorry for being vague. Please visit the front page and behold the glory of window-shopping on the Latest Entries section before making the commitment to enter.
Book Description
A place to keep users updated on what I fix on the site as well as new/improved features.
