News's Journal from 06/2004

06/03/04 00:11- ID#29852New Spell Check Feature
I have added some spell check functions, which will check your journal entry for spelling errors.

You can use the spell checking functions on the site, pre and post journal publication. In order to use the spell check function on an unpublished journal, click on the spell check button in your journal entry box. This will bring what you have typed, up to that point, into a pop-up window for spelling correction.

0604/02230459.jpg

The other way is to spell check a journal entry after it has been posted. In order to do this, click on the pen icon at the bottom of any of your journals. This will bring you to an updated update screen. It is updated to display your journal entry with media and links at the bottom, so you can see what it looks like while editing, without having to switch screen back to your journal! From here, simply click on the spell check button to spell check that journal entry.

Once you click on the spell check button using either method, a window will pop up with a spell checked version of your journal sans media and links. If you click on the yellow highlighted errors, it will pop up a window which first looks up the misspelled word on google. If no suggestion is found on google, the system searches locally for a similar word in the local dictionary.

You also have the option of adding your word to the custom dictionary. Please only add words that you feel really need to be in the dictionary, as they will show up in the dictionary for everyone else.

You can also access the spell checking functions of the site by clicking on the new spell check link on your control panel.

06/05/04 22:40- ID#29856Dyke March Takes Elmwood by Storm
The Dyke March was a huge success. It ended in a party down at Bidwell park with music and a beer tent.

Here is the first video on elmwoodstrip.comlink . We do not have any streaming video server so I had to link it to my UB space. The video is MP4 using the quicktime plugin. Tell me if there is any problem.

This is the first puppet I have seen in a Buffalo Parade, it gives you the feeling of a big city protest or a Holiday in mexico.

There were really a lot of people in this one.

::download sound::



and a link to the matching videolink . The video quality is not so great. We will have more and at a higher quality soon to come.

06/09/04 00:35- ID#29860RSS Newsfeed Capability
I programmed an RSS newsfeed for your journals. This allows you to read the journal entries.

Here is thelink to the RSS feed.

This will take you to the raw XML info. If you want to see it in a more stylized newsfeeder format (which you do) you will need something called an aggregator. It picks up RSS newsfeeds and displays them for you, in a human readable format. Once you download an aggregator, you can get to the rss feed for this site by clicking on thislink and subscribe.

Herelink is an RSS newsfeed aggregator for the Mac called Shrook

0604/08233128.gif

and herelink is one for PC called SharpReader

0604/08233112.gif

RSS newsfeeds also work on many mobile devices. Check your out if you have one.

RSS newsfeeds are like the web without all the extra crap.

06/09/04 13:32- ID#29861Our readership is increasing so much
Yesterday we crossed the 200MB per day line. That means that 200MB worth of information was leaving our site destined for the readers.

We had 338 unique visitors who viewed a total of 7105 pages. Apparently 9 o'clock at night is t he time to look. Over double the infromation of any other hour is viewed at 9 in the eveing. So if you want to make sur eyou info is read by other, 9 is the time to publish it by.
