Struggling Writers Club

For the Struggling forum.

I like the navigation on this system.  It feels intuitive to me! 

EDIT:  I don't know why this text (or at least the text above) appears to be italicized.  Hmmm. 

on the italics thing. It's a wee HTML glitchie that'll get fixed up soon. Promise!

Dee

Weeeee....! I Made it!

*busys around setting up the buffet and filling up the champagne fountain* 

Hmmm... look at all the loverly photos! I can "see" you all.

Glad you made it in here, Mary Beth and wooooo-hooo on the NY submission.

Hey, so far I like the new layout. I've got me some 'splorin to do. And I need to hunt up a new picture!

trish

all you had to do was follow my big mouth!

Can you believe I have no pictures of me anywhere!  I'm always the one behind the camera. But I'm having professional pics made this spring.  (Need to lose some weight by then!) 

Hi guys!!! I'm just cruising around trying to find everything and everyone. I see a lot of people still missing from the loops. Hopefully they'll follow the bread crumbs.

Better restock the buffet at this rate. Heh.

Seems like everytime I pop in here, we've gotten a new toy or two.

Can you tell that I'm playing with the color option? *snicker*

Hey Dee, when I come to the board, I'm automatically at the top and have to scroll all the way down to find the new posts.  Have I missed a setting that will take me directly to new posts?  Since I'm sure you don't have much to do with the change-over and all....

Good morning everyone.  This all looks very cool though I do agree, I wish we could see everyone else's posts when we post.  It's going to take a lot of composing posts in WordPad, to keep up with everyone's news.

 My photo is of me describing the dimensions of one of my heroes at a workshop.   

Shaz is going to be upset... there doesn't seem to be any numbers on the posts!! I think there will be one big unhappy yellow face :-)

 Oh and Tina you don't have to be an author already to be in here!

waves to all the new faces

 Biddy 

I'm here!!! Though I had to email Dee to find it. I couldn't get buttons to work lastnight to get in here.

I was thinking the same thing about Shaz not being happy. with no counter. On the bright side, no more yanking knitting needles out of our hair.

Yay MB mailing your ms!

Like Trish? I don't have a good pic of myself due to always being the photog. I still have my horses though. I forgot my reading glasses so I don't know how many typos I'll have. I can't see them.

Also, I too would like a common comment box so I can reply in general and not just to specific posts. And my font color button isn't working. And I don't even know why the font changed colors in the middle of typing this!

'K. I found you all without too much trouble, but when  I edit my profile and hit submit, I just go to  a blank page???

No idea if my changes are saved or not.

Guess I'm about to find out... 

Long time no talk!

And it is sooo NOT my fault you're in hot water, you contest junkie! 

 Well, I do have a bio, but I remain sig-lin-less, faceless (and friendless:). Guess I'll have to wait  for my kid to rescue me again. *sigh*

Holy Crap

 LOL Lainey....just read your profile ( I know I'm supposed to be writing) and wow....you're pretty much a carbon copy of me!  well, minus one dog! K....outta here

Jules

I finally managed to get a picture in. Not the one I prefer, but I do love looking at dgd! so it'll do for now. I still can't use the color palette though.

Laney, just type your sig in the signature box. I haven't figured out how to link my blog and email yet. Maybe someone else can help us with that.

I found the place! That took some getting used to. Wow, look at all of the goodies. Here's some of my famous fudge to add to the spread. Cyberchocolate-no calories!

I knew you'd have the answers, Dee. Hope this new change-over hasn't been too stressful, but it really looks great!

 trish

Well, I do try. I bugged the tech. He's the guy with the answers.

This has been one of our better relaunches, that's for sure. But there's wee buggies everywhere. Stampin' em, though. :)

Dee

YES Shaz... we see your big angry face loud and clear!

Tina- I just typed in what I wanted in my profile. For color and bold I used the html <font color=> style format like in the old site. Just be sure to 'turn it off' though. Like </b>.

Did it work Dee?

How strange. I can use font palette home pc, but not from my laptop?

<font color=darkred> Let's see if I can get colour Lisa's way. In my first post I highlighted the entire post and clicked on the text colour but it didn't work.

Shaz, I didn't change my post color... I had my tag line in my profile green and it made everyone and everything green. Now I had to take it off and everything's this lovely dove gray.

Oh- Dee I clicked on the #new and it still took me to the beginning post. Just thought I'd let you know.

... and when you post a comment it takes you back to the beginning of the thread and not what you've just posted?

The weather has changed today.  It is no longer 75 degrees outside.  It is 45.  And my head hurts.  It hurt all night last night, and has hurt all day today.  I've taken sinus meds, they helped some. I've also taken migraine meds, they helped a lot, but not for long enough.  The headache keeps coming back.  So I've laid around the house like a slug and slept an awful lot today.  I wish I could say it helped, but I just feel tired and achey (how do you spell that?). So tell me, how do you manage to write through feeling like crap?  'cause it hasn't worked for me today.

Oh, and can someone point me to the 1 new or 1 link button thingy.  I can't find it. :pout:

It is odd that you have to scroll back to the top of the page to add a comment, rather than have the comment box show at the bottom of the page, as Julie said.  And, I'm still feeling whiney about not seeing the comment thread at all when composing my own post. Like the icons though.
