Blogtoberfest At The Terminal

Well, it looks like Buffalo is having its second annual Blogtoberfest. Maybe, we should all go and meet the other Buffalo bloggers outside of estrip. I just wish it wasn't at the central terminal.

zobar writes at 06:22:51 09/20/07 - Comment #24892: Ya me and (e:dragonlady7) will be there, and I really can't tell how serious she is about getting naked. There's only one way to find out! Go...

dragonlady7 writes at 01:18:02 09/20/07 - Comment #24881: Yo people, I am serious
We have to go dressed as (e:strip)pers.
Strippers! Geddit?
HAH!
I am brilliant.

...
I may have to do it. Please don't make me do this alone, people. Someone else do this with me.

orchidiamond writes at 12:26:36 09/20/07 - Comment #24876: I'm going to be in Syracuse for a bachlorette party this weekend...

fellyconnelly writes at 07:12:37 09/16/07 - Comment #24579: sounds interesting. i'd love to go, but it is my dear ol granny's 80'th birthday bash and i've been selected to make the meatloaf. no seriously.

paul writes at 06:24:56 09/16/07 - Comment #24570: Thats a great idea. I still have the orange banner from (e:enknot)'s birtdhay bash. So who is going to go?

zobar writes at 04:38:37 09/16/07 - Comment #24568: (e:james) said it, not me. I think we need to go as a large dense group with a sign sticking up that says '(e:strip)' - sort of like each states' mob at a national convention. I think this would be the most succinct way of assuring (e:strip) is not overlooked as perhaps the largest local blogging community.

james writes at 11:56:18 09/16/07 - Comment #24561: Like, what sort of costume could they be looking for? Like, should we dress up as Buffalo Rising? You know, the costume would be a staff writer in rags being crushed by the dead weight of a bunch of BR magazines.

metalpeter writes at 10:42:34 09/16/07 - Comment #24547: I admit I'm a little cynical so I do have to wonder If you wear a costume do you get free beer or is only admission free. I also wonder why they are encouraging costumes about a month before Halloween. That could be very interesting. The central Terminal is one of those places that I have seen from a distance but don't really know where it is. I do think that it is a good idea, and could be a great time.

An Buffalo Update

I updated the journals so that the word count is stamped with " Buffalo, NY" if your zip code matches 14***. If lied on your signup or if you didn't fill out your zip code when signing up, then this will not show up. Send Paul an email if you want to give your real zip code and get the stamp.

Bug Fix

Sorry (e:zobar), it wasn't the RSS feed but I will get to that this week. It is the search box. If you searched for something an done of the journals that came up had a sound in the journal it was fucking up the script, and that is why sometimes, the search results would open in the search popup but it is all good now.

More estrip.org statistics

I posted some statistic data for the site about the peeps who have written the most, posted and received the most comments. And blogs by temperature and age statistics.

For the most prolific estrip.org authors list you can see them listed by rank with a link to their latest title. Some peeps on the list haven't even written since 2005 which means that some of the new peeps can have an edge on stealing their spots.

Everyone can feel more special

I updated the mini userpics that show when you are online to reflect the number of journals you have to the nearest 50 always rounding down.

So, say you have 57 journals it will say 50+

The other two increments are "<10 blogs" for new users with less than ten journals and 25+ for those who haven't quite reached 50 yet but want to feel special too.

Get your own (e:strip) regal title!
If you also want to have a custom title show across the top of your minipic, you can buy one by donating to the estrip paypal account by clicking on Donate above the minipics to the right of the latest entries list. Money goes toward site maintenance and thinks like hardware, domain names renewals, software updates, and general upkeep.

You can also earn titles
Like (e:jim) who is currently the 3rd most popular journal on the site this month (via view count), hence "bronze metal."

Another change

I updated it further so that the meta description of each journal page is the first 100 characters of the the text of the journal stripped of text bling and that the author is your username and a link to your journal. This should raise individual author ranking on google.

You journal title is now your page title

Whenever you visit a specific journal on the site, the journal's title is now the title of the page. This should make for better search engine optimization and just make it look cooler.

e:name and punctuation play nice

So I finally had a good half hour to fix some stuff that has been bothering me. Yesterday it was the comments popping out the bottom pf the journal text area and today I finally fixed the stupid punctuation with e name link problem.

Now I can say things like, "Damn I am so jealous of (e:paul,40879)'s lobster dinner last night." and not have to worry about the apostrophe.

Same with listing off peeps such as in the sentence "I wish I could be as gay as (e:matthew), (e:paul) and (e:terry)!"

Simple Bug Fix

I meant to fix this bug for months but I always forget. It took like 4 seconds once I looked into it. the comments no longer pop out the bottom of the journal entry area when they are really long. You may have never even noticed this but it was stressing me out.
