One very cool new feature is the 'Directory' of articles, which lets you browse past articles by date. It's in the top menu, or you can go to it directly using:<br />

An hour of downtime! I need my fix more often than that :)

Good stuff!

No idea what all this means, but the "reply" box under the Campbell story doesn't work. It only brings back the main page. This one seems to work and I haven't tried any other.

You don't post from blogger, exactly; when logging in, you are presented with a dropdown of "Services", currently "Vive le Canada", "Blogger", and "LiveJournal". To post using your blogger account, just pick 'blogger' as the service and use your blogger username/password.<br />
<br />
Behind the scenes, everything is handled using OpenID (<a href="http://openid.net/">http://openid.net/</a>), which is similar to Microsoft's Passport, but not owned by a corporation. <p>---<br>"Beer Garden'? You mean, a real garden of beer? I thought they only had those in Canada!" --Largo

Ed, that button was initially broken, but should be working now. Please try again and let me know if it works.

The "Reply" button right under the article works OK, but if I click the "reply" under the last comment, it doesn't. All the others seem to work, only this one isn't.

Cheers, Ed.

There is a little quirk in the code - when the character "$" is translated into '&amp;#' in the story title or the comment subject, for some reason you can't hit 'reply' under that comment.

I started a thread in that article where the subject contains a '$' instead. If you hit the 'Reply' button and delete the '&amp;#', then others can reply to your comments.

Oops, lost that particular customisation as well. I'll add it to the list.

I agree the directory is a great feature. You are doing a good job Jesse.
