We now have e-mail subscriptions to both posts and follow-up comments!\u00a0\u00a0 That\u2019s one of your requests that we were able to make happen.\u00a0 We\u2019re still trying to figure out comment numbering.\u00a0 But we\u2019re making progress.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve also got the hang of the new format, with the first part of the post appearing on the home page and then your having to click \u201cread more\u201d to read the rest of it.\u00a0 What we worked out is that instead of just having six lines of\u00a0 text in a box of six lines before an automatic jump,\u00a0 I can now be flexible in how\u00a0 much of the post\u00a0 shows up on the home page, inserting\u00a0 my own jumps.\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019m still breaking most of my posts into two parts, in accord with the Patheos template, but the beauty of the format is that I can put more material into my\u00a0 posts, adding pictures and other discussion with great abandon, without having a post take over the entire page.\u00a0 So it\u2019s a change, but I think a good change.<\/p>\n
\n
Also, Patheos got rid of that \u201cesoteric\u201d ad that kept popping up to the annoyance of us all.<\/p>\n
There looks to be some more tweaks that will be possible, including putting some of the old icons back into\u00a0 the sidebar.<\/p>\n
I appreciate too that the regular readers seem to have come on over to the new site, and we\u2019re getting new viewers! So thanks for that.<\/p>\n
