Caramel Apple Fall Theme

I was really bored in the library today and decided to make a new theme. I am pretty sure its done, although I make make some slight alterations. Caramel Apple is now the default theme. If you have the site set to another theme and want to switch, simply click on the caramel candy icon in the themes bar at the top right of the home page.

On another note, will someone write to Buffalo.com and see if they can get the site listed. It is not like we need the link to generate traffic but it kills me that we are not part of something called Buffalo.com considering we have been around for years, are all about Buffalo and now have over 11,000 journal entries. At one point they told me the site was too personal. We only had about 5,000 entries back then, haha. Maybe someone wants to take over PR altogther. That would be fantastic. I just want to be a programmer/designer not a business man/PR advocate.

Radio Relocation

I moved the radio link to a user's only feature. It is now a prominently displayed radio icon in the icon bar at the top left of the site. If you roll over the little radio pic it tells you what is playing (give or take 60 seconds of caching) and how many people are listening. (e:uncutsaniflush) should be happy now -haha

Moved the login/control panel

The login and control panel have been moved up to the top left of the page in order to bring the chat up and make more room for it seeing as it is getting used so much. Also don't forget that you can post to the chat from your wap enabled cell phone at elmwoodstrip.org/wap

Official Greeter/ Helpers

I need a someone or couple estrip savy veteran peeps who want to be official greeters/helpers. It's not very demanding. You would ber interacting with people about question on how to use the site and possibly answering some emails. When you are online it will show some sort of status symbol like "official helper" so that people can ask you for help.

new icon maybe?

Typical interaction: People sign up but have trouble confirming their email. You would have a control panel to manually confirm them. They aren't sure how to add a picture to their journal or listen to sound, etc. A lot of times the questions are even simpler than that, such as, "What is estrip about?", "Does it cost anything?", etc

While the help files would be the most obvious place to get the answers, some people just like a little coaching. So help might have a link to helper peeps online if they still have a question about something and that helper would be you.

Two Questions

1. Does anyone want to be a sports writer? You don't have to already be a member of the site but I would like someone to cover local sports and sport issues.

2. When I get some time, I am going to totally redo the calendar interface as it apparently is not very useful. More work for (e:uncutsaniflush).

I am thinking about moving the calendar right off the page and making a calendar utility that other people can post to without even having a journal entry to associate with it. You will still be able to associate a journal entry with an entry on the calendar. I am also thinking about making calendar comments. After 2 years it has seen very little use other than upon its release. Does anyone have suggestion? Just leave them as comments.

Latest Entries Update

I have updated the latest entries box to display the number of media (images, sound, video) included with each entry. If you roll over the mini icons, it will tell you how many of that type of media are included in the entry. Unfortunately, some people with big names like (e:southernyankee), haha, make the icons pop over the edge if they add multiple media formats to one entry!! I might redesign a little bit but I am really busy with my day job work right now.
