Also, for those wondering, the theme on noise grid is so hacked apart and put back together that I fear upgrading past WP 2.6. So it'll probably be like that forever until a better solution comes out for posting in this style.
Holy fucking shit, so Wordpress is coming out with a totally awesome almost-next gen version of twitter for groups as a theme in like a week. Next week might be rough guys! Hahaha!

I guess since I'll be updating and retheme-ing next week, I should take suggestions on what to add. The tags/text and meta stuff is the most important for functionality, but maybe there's something else! Maybe a list of authors! Discuss!

So should we ask for posting rights here, or through the contact link on noisegrid?

Logging in gives me the site header and a post box filled with HTML. Zere is feeling of...not work. Am I doing this wrong, or have the midgets finally won?

I have absolutely no idea why it's doing that. It really doesn't make sense.
Can someone else with IE8 and/or Opera confirm this, I'm not installing browser after browser to check up on this stuff.
Edit: also, I really don't want to dick with it since I have to reskin next week.

Does the wp have some reasonable model for submitting posts without involving the browser? Mostly it'd be avoiding the login/cookie/sid step and being able to just do an HTTP post with content/tags/username/password. At that point wiring up various stuff to spew onto the 'grid becomes trivial.

Also, I really like the assorted banners. How many are there total? Seems like a goodly number.

The problem with the formatting on this particular brand of wordpress blog is there's no great way for plugins to work as it essentially autofills the topic and body in a way that WP doesn't. Also, it uses proper tags instead of WP's half-assed categories and that's why RSS works so well. It would need its own Firefox plugin. I'd love to make one that's just like the ctrl+f find bar that just has 2 blank boxes and a submit button. Like:  Edit: There are 34 Banners, but I'm going to need to remake all of them when P2 comes out, so this week during breaks from Edgar, I'll be doing banners. |

Forget tinyurl! Bit.ly is where this shit is motherfuckin at! http://www.bit.ly/Seriously. Install that firefox plugin. God it's fucking great. Edit: This shit is like web 2.0. Or even web 3.0. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Edit 2: What is an archived URL? bit.ly retains a mirrored copy of the source URL as it appeared when it was shortened. This is useful if the site you are trying to visit has experienced a failure do to heavy traffic or for examining historical data. FUCK TINYURL |

Also, blame MrHat, this was inspired by his following of Demon's Souls tweets.
You have some hefty demands that aren't particularly worth investigating.
 Is it possible to get email notifications for people replying to your nogs? (That's what I'm calling it, nog, deal with it). Needs something to remind people that you can comment/discuss each post. Maybe we get a "nog this" button in f13 to cross post? :) I guess what I'm really trying to get is some sort of cross awareness of what's going on in NG.com while in F13. While I love the layout, I don't like scrolling very much. Would it be possible to maybe drop the font size a bit? fmylife is a good example I think. It's clean but there's still lots of posts right there in front without too much hassle. Can you get rid of the "RSS" text in the RSS buttons on the side? The icon should be sufficient imo. I'm lazy. I don't like to open windows. I don't like to copy and paste. I don't like to scroll. Cater to me! Edit: The banner up top, I think it'd be cool if the "noise grid" text up top spilt over the blue posting box below it. So basically, the image banner is lined up (same width) as the blue posting box, but the noisegrid text is all on it's own over the side. Like this: Also, the pages reload every time you post something? Comments too? Makes it a bit slow :( |

Really looking forward to seeing what comes out! |

NG should provide its own url expander. If I drop a url in a post it should just convert to a http://noisegrid.com/goto/abcdef or whatever thing. That way you don't have to deal with a third party *and* you can gather useless metrics on link clickage or whathaveyou ^^ |

I think the idea behind using tinyurl or w/e wierd one schild dug up is to keep the links short. What you're suggesting seems counterproductive.

Well, I want to be able to paste a url into my microblogentry (ubent?) and not have to visit another web site before I do that. I'm not entirely sure how short you need links to be? I mean I just click on 'em usually. The only other reason I want 'em to be short is to not spam the hell out of irc or whatnot if I paste something in. < 40 characters is fine for that... |

You can get firefox addons that let you just rightclick a link to generate a tiny one. |
