The Dvorak Uncensored Blog has been upgraded to the newest version of WordPress. This means there will be some glitches that I hope can be rectified since I’m using an older template. The basic template/theme will be changed a few times over the next few weeks. Have patience.

If you are doing an upgrade to the template, I’d like to make a suggestion.
Can you remove the need to click on the title of a post in order to view it? I use Google Reader to keep up with your posts and it’s just an extra click that seems unnecessary.
My RSI software tells me I’m averaging 3000-4000 mouse clicks per day as it is!
Keep up the the good work
I just updated myself. Yes, a few glitches.
But perhaps now you can delete the unnecessary archive on the right navigation.
I intend to get rid of a lot of old-fashioned characteristics. That archive thing has got to go. It’s a joke. AS for the RSS feed, I may retry a full feed. But the last time I did that it was blowing up a lot of readers.
I don’t know about clicking on the title of the post, but I have to click on the header graphic to see the list of articles with pictures and all. I sent John an email about that, oh, maybe 6 months ago, and he didn’t believe me. Man that’s annoying.
Not sure if this is must me. However, when this blog is launched through Internet Explorer (6), your missing the left and right columns, just the middle column appears.
I run Portable Mozilla Firefox (1.5.0.1) and the right column appears to be in the middle column, actually it’s over the middle column, weird.
I notice that the right side navigation goodies are showing up down the middle of the page, obscuring the first three articles.
XP SP2 – Firefox 1.5.0.3
“I notice that the right side navigation goodies are showing up down the middle of the page, obscuring the first three articles.”
Same here. Don’t you guys like us FF users anymore !?? 🙁
Firefox 1.5.0.3 is broken. What no cross platform testing? Non-standards compliant platform. tsk tsk, shock, horror!
– everything uder the calendar is appearing in the middle of the page and overlaying the articles – a bit messy 🙁
“Don’t you guys like us FF users anymore !?? ”
I am using Firefox and have never seen anything but thre distinclty different columns on dvorak/blog.
I’m having the same problem and am using FF 1.0.y – the right column is over spaciong the middle column
RE: “Can you remove the need to click on the title of a post in order to view it?”
A bit of clarification… It’s not a problem of sending a full feed or not. The problem is, if you click a link from the feed (I notice this when using the Google personal homepage) it brings you to a webpage where you do not see the comment or article text, just the headline etc. My best guess is that one of the comment spam prevention measures (blocking referers from outside of the blog) is getting in the way of legitimate users. If you refresh the page (the same address) all the text suddenly shows up which leads me to this belief. If John or somebody wants to email me and work this out, I think I can give instructions for replicating the problem.
Hmmm…it would be better if I was seeing these problems and could trace them. I expect to have a modified template running tonight.
It looks as though the problem is fixed for my version of Portable Firefox (1.5.0.1). Whatever you did, don’t change that setting…
Just out of curiosity – does anyone ever use the daily horoscope? John would have monitoring software that could tell him.
Hey, folks!
I’m on Firefox too — everything looks fine, always has.
However, I’ve done something you may not have: I entirely deleted the FF and Mozilla subdirs a few months ago and did a total re-install. Added my favorite extensions again, all worked well.
I run a pretty clean system. I took out junk with hijackthis.exe and, but only tend to run Symantec AV, and MS anti-spyware. I have a hardware firewall, and don’t install junk, so I don’t worry much about unexpected traffic.
Hey John, even though I’ve ragged on ya from time to time, both here and on PCMag, I still dig ya! 🙂 At least you’re one of the voices of reason, and part of the solution.
Sincerely,
An occasionally cranky old friend…
