State of the Beta in Site Updates

People keep asking, so instead of trying to address individual comments, I’ll just write a quick update. As it stands, the following things are missing from the beta site: (prosebox.com)

• Notifications when I write something in this book (Site Updates). Which means if you’re on prosebox.com and you aren’t following me, there’s a very good chance you’ll miss this. Oops.

• Proper formatting (e.g. Preview) and the toolbar on the Write Entry screen. Going to add that toolbar to the right side bar.

• Ability to ignore personalization settings of others (there’s a setting already, it’s just not wired up yet). This could actually be a nice thing to have; the rapid switch from black to white can be a little jarring on your eyes as you browse.

• Search bar. Doesn’t do anything yet. I’ll start out by moving over the user search/browse stuff, but I want to expand the search bar to do cooler and better things.

Seems like there’s something else I’ve forgotten. Hmmm. Anyway, it’s still a work in progress. I’m leaving the .net site up as an alternative until I have all these things worked out. Personal life is falling a bit behind so it might be a bit before everything is addressed.

Prose Minister out.
