I've put the Page option on the Guest Poster page. It defaults to Page 1, but if the article you're posting isn't WoT related, please put it on Page 2.
Before Boris appeared and distracted me, I was working on splitting Rantburg into three pages: The front page (Page 0), with links to all articles and the text of the latest half dozen. Page 1 will hold the WoT articles, Page 2 will hold the Politix, diplomacy, SAST, and stuff like Bob's new house in Cape Town, crime, honor killings, rampaging gorillas, giant squids, love nests, and bear or kangaroo attacks. It'll be like two Rantburgs, each smaller than this one, unless you page through the articles using the buttons on the browse page.
If you've noticed, there's a "Squish" button on the Guest Poster page that removes carriage returns from selected text. This is good for dealing with sources like IRNA that put a hard return at the end of each line. It also handles KUNA, which not only uses hard returns, but puts another character there (I don't know the code for it to reproduce it here). I think SANA does the same thing. And if you want to collapse a lot of short paragraphs into one, I won't mind that, either. Saves me some work.
I may move some of the sidebar stuff from Page 1 and Page 2 to make room for links to the latest commented articles for that page. |
