You can now upload image files up to 1024k (1MB). They will be resized automatically making it easier if you do not have image editing software. I may make it higher in the future.

After we move the server to the artvoice network, I will most likely increase the size of files that can be stored.

Remember back in he day there was that draggable blue box where you could see the userpics of the peeps logged in. I ressurected part of that code but rewrote it all as javascript. After about 3 seconds of being on the page it should load the userpics right in of the users online. They should also refresh every so often alerting you who has logged in and out. If you click on them, you get taken to that users journal.

Thanks to surebert you can now load extra title sinto the latest entries box. To do so, just click on the (+) under the top twelve list. To the twelve lastest just click (reload 12).

I added the snow back to the site. To make it go away click on the red one. It won't come back until you restart the brwoser. You can remove white ones by clicking on them too.

If you really hate them use low bandwidth mode by clciking on slow version at the top of this page. They only show up when snow is in the forecast and/or it is snowing.

I redid a lot more site internals in order to speed stuff up.

Afterwards, I finished the mobile XHTML site beta today. It isn't just for mobile users. It may help those of you on slow dialup connections too, although low bandwidth mode should be good enough.

If you have a WAP or XHTML enable mobile phone you can get there by going to elmwoodstrip.org and selecting XHTML from the list of choices. If you only have WAP it will take you directly to the WAP site - so there is no more need to type elmwoodstrip.org/go.

The new XHTML mobile version of the site is in addition to the already existing WAP site site for older mobile phones. Both sites allow the user to publish entries, read journals, see the weather and chat. The WAP version has some additional features that will all be migrated over to the XHTML version soon.

With the new XHTML version of the site you can upload files right from your mobile into the publication interface. So far I have only tested that feature on Nokia phones - it probably works on all symbian phones but I cannot guarantee. If you want to publish entries on the go you could always use the old email interface as well. Just search the help for mobile publication.

Here is a screenshot of the publication interface. You can also use this XHTML version of the site on slow dialup connections using your web browser. If you want to visit it directly, go to elmwoodstrip.org/xhtml
