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.

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 in Site Updates

I've added the option to the entry editor to only accept private comments. Let's make sure this works.

Formatting fix in Site Updates

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...


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 in Site Updates

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!


I kind of like the monthly suggestion box thing... keeps a single entry from getting MILES LONG. OK, so before you suggest these things, here's what's already on the radar: Prosebox News, on t...

Locked down and secure in Site Updates

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 in Site Updates

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...


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 in Site Updates

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. :-)


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 in Site Updates

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 "...


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 ...


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! in Site Updates

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.


Greetings and good evening! I've added a Latest Entries page which allows you to page back through the latest entries on the site. As with the listing on the front page, it will only show a use...

Bookmarks by user in Site Updates

It's been requested many, many times. And now you have it: bookmarks showing only the latest entries of each user you have bookmarked. Just look for "Bookmarks by user" in the menu. Enjoy. :)...


In a few minutes I'm taking down Prosebox to quickly run a database script. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. Will update this when complete. UPDATE: Done! Thank you and carry on....


First of all, a welcome to all the recent newcomers! I thought that What's-his-name was coming back to fix that other site, but the recent entries on here seem to suggest otherwise. There seems...


Yay, we have over 2,000 users! How cool is that? Also, I'm still tweaking the Dark theme. I've tried to soften the colors a bit more for people with sensitive eyes. Plus it's less eye strain ...


The new Dark theme is now available to everyone! Just visit your Settings page (you know, that screen that allows you to change your icon and display name), and you'll notice some fun new stuff....


I'm looking for a few beta testers to join me on the Dark Side. I've created a new "Dark" theme for Prosebox and need some adventurous souls to help me try it out. Just a few people to start, p...

Images 101 in Tips and Tricks

One of the most common questions I see is "How do I put pictures in my entries?" Currently, there's no super-easy way to do this. It requires a little bit of knowledge about how images are sto...

Comment DELETION! in Site Updates

This one's been a monkey on my back for a while now. I'm very pleased to say that if you are the entry owner, you now have the power to delete comments on the entry! And if you act now, I'll th...


I've noticed some recent concern about Google indexing public site content. (I, for one, welcome our not-so-new search overlords) To address this concern, I've created a robots.txt file. My un...
