simple mind
I'm the burning bush. I'm the burning fire. I'm the bleeding volcano.
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Tip on replying in Tips and Tricks
There's something on Facebook that drives me batshit crazy. You leave a comment to someone who has, oh, like 500 "friends". And for the rest of time and all eternity, you get notified whenever ...
Advanced level layout in Tips and Tricks
Warning: I'm not writing this for the casual user. If you don't know any HTML, you'll probably be happy to skip this one. I've been asked about allowing HTML table tags. I've now added those t...
Login fixes in Site Updates

Feelin' Justified in Site Updates
I received the suggestion to justify text (aligned on both the left and right edges), and since it's a very simple CSS thing - text-align: justify; - I thought I'd give it a whirl with the entry ...
Q&A - please read in Site Updates
Perhaps this will turn in to the start of my FAQ section! A new member asks: I am a little concerned that you are doing this without charge, and that we may be repeating the experience of the o...
For the poets in Tips and Tricks
There's a little trick to getting single lines to come out right. You can type something like this: *There once was a girl named Sue Who was a student up at the U She said, "Mama Mia! I think m...
I messed with your icons! * in Site Updates
You know how they say it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission? Umm.... sorry. I think most look pretty dang snazzy in the circular format though. *Note: people on IE8 or older (see...

It's off to war! Just kidding. I've unleashed a new Save draft feature that I think people will really like. People won't see your draft until you Publish it. Right now you'll have to go to y...

Youtube update in Site Updates
Made a little change to make the video size "responsive". So it will be bigger on a desktop, and really small if you're scrolling in portrait mode on a phone. Let me know if you see any weird s...
Youtube? Yeah, we've got THAT. in Site Updates
I should have been in bed about 2 hours ago, but this thing was kicking my butt and I can't go to bed after such a butt whooping. But I've solved it! Youtube links are auto-magical now! That's...
No embedded videos? LAME, Prosebox! in Site Updates
'Tis true. Prosebox is currently Youtube-less. But! Rather than allowing embed codes which are somewhat tedious to copy/paste/format as well as a security risk, I just want to have the softwar...
User search in Site Updates
Well, not so much a search as a list of everyone currently signed up on Prosebox. I figure that's sufficient while we have a small amount of people (currently 76 people on Prosebox!) Look for i...
Bookmark users, not books in Site Updates
This is a pretty big change. This is one of those changes where I cross my fingers and say a little prayer before pulling the trigger, since it involves moving data around and some other funky s...

I just had an epiphany in Site Updates
Epiphany is a great word, isn't it? OK, so I've been struggling with the idea of bookmarking. As I see people breaking out their writing into several different books, it becomes more obvious th...
