Some changes are underway

By Carlos Miller -...

The Real Edwin has it all under control even if it does look like his hair is on fire

In an attempt to maximize this site for the readers, we’ve been undergoing certain construction projects that may cause confusion or problems.

But those problems should only be temporary. And in the end, this site should be much more efficient and informative.

I’ve hired friend, technogeek and fellow Miami blogger, The Real Edwin, to handle all the back-end improvements. When he’s not pounding drinks with me at Fox’s, he gets into the job.

But sometimes it’s a matter of trial and error to see what works best, so please have a little patience as we improve this site.

And feel free to comment on any of the features as well as suggest new features that might be good for this site.

Also, we’ve installed a new feed so those of you who read this site through their feed may have to switch to the new one.

I am getting that also with Chrome Browser on Vista. The left column starts out in the right place and then jumps half way into the middle column. Keep up the good work and look into this column issue.

Are you running Vista x64 or x32? I'm on Windows 7 x64 and don't have that issue with Chrome. Also what version of Chrome?

There is also a problem on Safari 4.0.4 on OS X 10.6.2 on with individual article pages. The page starts loading, then the page goes blank. I have to interrupt page loading to see the page. I'm posting this with a different browser. There is a Javascript error in Safari:

SyntaxError: Parse error

The new site looks really good! I like the twitter followme along the right of the page. Love the widget to repost to all those different sites. I like the way it sits there barely visible until you scroll over it. The WP Greet Box rss thing is a little big and obtrusive at the top of the story though.

I also like the Facebook Connect to post comments. I tried to use my Gmail/OpenId but apparently G-mail doesn't implement OpenID in the way that your site looks for it to be used…

Oops I take that back… as I tried to do the Facebook Connect it came up with an error… http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/6977/miller.jp...

Move the "Comments (…)" link below the text, it would help the usability. Currently i read an entry and when i want to see the comments i have to scroll back. Maybe swap the position with that popularity-contest-thing.

And that wp-login-bar seems to be a useless waste of space. And i find that wp_followme.swf a bit annoying…

everything else looks fine, no display errors with iceweasel 3.5.5 (a slightly modified firefox) under linux.

The site is still unusable in Safari. Again, individual article pages start to load and then go blank because of the javascript errors described above. Please fix this!

See that blurry squiggle at the center-bottom of the Bart and Homer image? If you blow it up and enhance it, it says, "By order of the Queen, don't rip off this crappy-ass image and slap it all over your blog."
