who to whom
Cher public, in response to a request from Nerva Nelli, La Cieca has added a new feature to the parterre.com main page; or rather she’s improved upon an old feature. You may remember the excerpts from your comments used to appear above the logo at the top of the page.
The new format will display the most recent comments directly below the top posting; that is, the second post on the main page will always be a list of the most recent comments. You will find a list of excerpts from the most recent comments (with links to the complete comment) in the left menu bar. That way you dear people can easily catch up with (and continue) your ongoing conversation, colloquies and catfights. (The comments block right under the top story was very clunky-looking, La Cieca decided. It is possible to display more comment excerpts in the sidebar or to include more of each comment. Those of you who follow comments avidly may want to subscribe to the comments rss feed for parterre.com.
I usually read parterre on the way to work on my MotoQ and the new format works great from my tiny screen. Gracias, Cieca!
Mdme. Ciece, is there any way to set it up where the comments work something like a forum page (cookie-ing you to the last comment you read on that particular posting so that when you visit later and click on the thread, it takes you to the first unread post in that topic instead of scrolling through all the previous posts)? Or perhaps it is already that way and I’m just doing it wrong. I’m not overly familiar with blogging software.
Ooh, schweig, that’s a great idea!
For what it’s worth, I do prefer this new format. Random comments on different subjects under the heading were completely out of context and looked weird and uncomfortable. I, too, miss the email notification. Some sort of version of schweig’s suggestion would be good as long as it keeps the ‘spirit’ of a blog and retains the La Cieca brand.
