As you can see, we've snazzified ourselves around here. Gargantuan thanks must be extended to Deb from "Sometimes I..." She made this redesign happen. I simply played Gilligan to her Skipper.
Henceforth, all 2003 Fanatical Apathy entries shall be Searchable. They shall be Instantly Archived. The Permalinks to various entries shall be truly Permanent. So it is written; so let it be... uh, written.
Also, I think there's an RSS feed thingie around here somewhere. Probably on the wall or something, I prob'ly just gotta move a few doohickeys around and adjust the thingamabob a little... Let me know if it's "on."
Worry not, though: All your old, brilliant comments, along with the old archives (in the old format), can be accessed through that link over there on the right (the one that's cleverly disguised with the words "Old Archives").
More changes are to come, no doubt. But for now just come on in and make yourselves comfortable; after all, we've got a constantly-approaching war to watch, a new session of Congress to provide us with heartstopping thrills and chills, and a bank heist to plan... Truly, our cups runneth under.
Posted by Adam Felber at February 3, 2003 01:08 AMYay!
A new look, and with spiffy RSS we can now pounce upon the morsels of wit like rabid budgies on crack! Wait, no, drugs are bad. I learned that from some politician,(or maybe it was a dealer. I'm not sure which.)
Still, YAY!!
neato mosquito!
Posted by: karlo on February 3, 2003 05:22 AMWow. It's so clean, so organized -- it's like having your closet redone!!
Now if I just knew what an "RSS" was I could let you know if indeed it is "on."
Posted by: dee on February 3, 2003 08:36 AMDon't it feel good to move on up?
Posted by: George Jefferson on February 3, 2003 10:14 AMoooo, pretty
Posted by: Richard on February 3, 2003 11:17 AMIt's backwards. Now I'm going to have to move my chair to the other side of the monitor. Thanks a bunch-- seat shifter.
Posted by: Farberwear on February 3, 2003 11:27 AMFinally: out of the closet and into the streets.
FFO.
Now that you are using movable type, I hear it's really easy to ping weblogs.com when you update. that way, people who use blogrolls and other tools will be able to hear about new stuff right away.
Thanks!
Posted by: Anita Rowland on February 3, 2003 12:45 PMHey! This loads so much more quickly! And I can finally write comments!
However... does anyone else find that the links bar overloads on top of the text? If so, how did you manage to fix it?
Thanks!
Posted by: Rachel on February 3, 2003 01:49 PMwell done, my dear lad
Posted by: craig on February 3, 2003 03:34 PMUmm...one little problem. It says there are 10 comments as of right now on "Our Grand Reopening" but I can only read the first three (ending with mine). Perhaps once I hit the "post" button for THIS one, all the previous ones will appear.
Which is an interesting strategy...respond to how you THINK other people responded to you.
Paranoia strikes deep.
Posted by: dee on February 3, 2003 04:06 PMEverything is bright and beautiful from over here!
Posted by: Mommie on February 3, 2003 04:20 PMLoookin Guuuuud!
Wow! Looks really great. The switch from left side to right side menu ought to help correct my repetitive "look left" syndrome.
Adam, you're the greatest!
Spiffy, dude. So an RSS is...
Posted by: small child on February 3, 2003 09:13 PMUh, the photoons don't fit anymore...
But I guess not everyone runs at 1280x1024?
One request: could you make the link to the Forum bigger? It's a little hard to find in all the links on the right now.
Oh, and maybe a little padding around the comments boxes and the bottom of the posts, the link underlines blend in with the borders.
Posted by: Landis on February 3, 2003 10:56 PMLooks Great!!! Neat, organized, simple and effective!!
So, how about an all expenses paid trip to beautiful Minnesota to make my house look like this? (now that you've got the hang of it)
:)
Posted by: Katie Wise on February 4, 2003 11:32 AMA Quick Guide to RSS: (for those that don't live in their parent's basement).
RSS is a new technology that allows folks like Good Mr. Felber publish new junk. It uses XML (magic pixies) to create snippets which are then picked up by clients (electronic sweatshop laborers) and formatted into HTML pages (doo-whickies).
The best part is that when your trying to find new ways to waste valuable corporate time, you can run a program that collects up the magic pixies for you and lets you know when new stuff is available.
If you too would enjoy being a geek (or maybe just looking like one) you can peruse a wide selection of nifty tools over at http://blogspace.com/rss/readers. I recommend both Beaver and FeedReader (although far too many jokes could be made about staring for hours at the first one).
They're all very simple to use and darn addicting. Good luck! Have fun! And remember to change the tape on your glasses once every six months or so.
Posted by: jr on February 4, 2003 11:44 AMAdam, congratulations on the new place. It looks lovely!
Posted by: Tiffany on February 4, 2003 12:22 PMThe RSS works wonderfully. And it's now syndicated on LiveJournal, so that all LJ users can add it to their friends lists. It can be seen at http://www.livejournal.com/users/fanaticalapathy/ .
Posted by: Dana on February 4, 2003 02:15 PMMmmmmmmm, the goodness of MT. It's both schweet and swellegant. And the LJ syndication feed is already done, now that's productivity, baby!
Posted by: Jeannette on February 5, 2003 03:45 AMAnd now that you've moved into the MT zone - how bout a notification list for those who want to know when you post? Hmmm?
