I was tinkering around with Markdown a bit, adding a few extensions that looked useful. Hopefully they are all good additions. There will be a few Tips and Tricks entries to show off the new fu...

The "autosave" still has its flaws and is not a guarantee. Specifically if: You lose your session (not sure why this happens - doesn't seem to happen to many people) The site goes down before ...

---

(in case you are curious: no, I wouldn't normally be working on the site on Christmas Eve - but I'm stuck in the office for a few hours due to lack of vacation time, and there's really not much f...

Some of the common criticism I hear from Prosebox detractors is, "Oh, it's too drab. It's too white. It's too clinical." Muahahaha, welcome to my anti-bacterial laboratory!! Well, I decided i...

---

So many of you have already dropped by to mention the bookmarks update, which lets you see what you've read and what you haven't. It was a much requested feature and I'm happy to have that avail...

---

Been getting this question a lot (at least five people have asked), so I'll probably fix this to make it more intuitive. But if you click the "Preview" button on the editor toolbar, you go into ...

---

OK, I must admit that I'm pretty excited about this one... Prosebox entry and book forms now have autosave! YES! I removed the little warning box that pops up if you accidentally leave the pag...

---

I just discovered and fixed a bug where the book title wasn't updating on the entry page if you moved it from one book to another, or changed the name of the book. Everything should be back in s...

---

Hey, these milestones need to be pointed out. :)

---

It's not at the top of the page, nor at the bottom. It's simply there, everywhere. I won't go into detail, hopefully it's intuitive enough to figure out without a lengthy explanation. :) Edit...

---

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 ...

---

OK, so before you mention them, a few things: Ad sizing and placement is non-negotiable. These are for my own benefit and compensation. However, there is work going on behind the scenes to ge...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

"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...

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...

---

I don't think I explained this very well to someone, so I'm writing here to clarify. Say you want a list of stuff with multiple paragraphs. You might try this: 1. Here's a list item. Here's ...

---

OK, this is going to be one of the more advanced tips and tricks entry, since HTML is involved. Don't say I didn't warn you. :) Because I'm now loading the Font Awesome icons, it's possible to...

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 ...

---

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...

---
