Discussion Messages Marked As Weblog Entries Now Show Permalink

Share

I've added the weblog entry permalink to discussion messages that have been marked as weblog entries.

This will save you a trip to the weblog entry itself to grab the permalink for use in other places.

Additional Weblog Navigation Links

Share

I have added Older Entries and Newer Entries links to the bottom of your website weblog webpages. This makes it easier for your users to sequentially navigate your weblog. These links are not shown if you have set up your weblog to show only one recent date.

Message Navigation

Share

Your websites now have a more complete set of message navigation links. Previously you had previous and next message links. You now have:

  • previous topic ( << )
  • previous ( < )
  • up ( ^ )
  • top of topic ( ^^ )
  • next ( > )
  • next topic ( >> )

Arrows are used to remind you of what the links do. Similar to what you might find on a media player.

It is not unusual to find that your previous topic and previous message links point to the same message. The same if also true for the other directions of navigation.

Markdown Update

Share

If you use Markdown as your markup language, it has been updated. If you had problems with getting the syntax to work the way the documentation suggested, try it again.

As an example, in the prior version the following just wouldn't produce strong output no matter what I tried. No amount of escaping seemed to work. I ended up using an (X)HTML b tag as a work around.

**find . -name \*.pyc -ok rm {} \;**

With the updated version it now works OK!

Website Search Results

Share

The result links on the search webpage for your website are more specific. Previously they returned links that pointed to the discussion messages for the content. The result links now point to the weblog archive, relative url, or discussion message; depending on message settings.

Your websites now have a sub-title for the title of your weblog. The sub-title is the topic of your latest weblog entry.
