Coming not quite so soon

Some weeks ago I announced that a site update was coming probably by “mid July.” Well, due to various factors it looks now like late August. In the mean time, enjoy a few improvements here and there to the current site.



This morning, rolled out a few changes to the comment toolbar. (Several of the toolbar buttons do not function if you have javascript disabled).

• There is now an underline button that—surprise—underlines
• The link and image buttons now pop up a small dialog so you can key in the web address (aka URL) and the text you want to appear instead of the address. But, as before, you can always paste/key a full web address in the comment text and it will be turned into a link automatically.
• Numbered and unnumbered lists buttons now allow you select several lines of text and convert them to bullet or numbered points in one click.
• Indent. There is now an indent button “>” that will cause selected text to indent.

As before, the buttons insert code tags. You can see what things will look like by clicking “toggle preview.”
