The latest enhancement to LGF Linkage is a biggie — you can now edit any links you’ve posted, using a super-fast Ajax popup form, and see the changes instantly appear without reloading the whole page.

Here’s how this feat of prestidigitation works. When you’re viewing the LGF Linkage pages, any links you’ve posted will have a little editing icon in the upper right next to the other control icons; the editing button looks like a stubby little pencil: … and it lights up in green when your mouse hovers over it. You won’t see the editing button on anyone’s links but your own, because those other ones aren’t your links, and you can’t edit them, sorry.

Click that bad pencil-lookin’ mutha and the editing form appears, looking very similar to the form that let you post the link in the first place. You can edit any of the link’s data: category, URL, title, and description. If you decide not to save the edit, click the Cancel button and the form will disappear without saving anything. But if you click Save Changes, your changes will indeed be saved in the LGF Linkage database, and the link on the page will magically mutate into your shiny new edited version.

With the ability to see all the posts by any lizardoid author (just click their name at the bottom left of the link), this takes LGF Linkage another step closer to being a complete blogging system. And now you can fix your own typos, correct errors, and even update posts with a state of the art Ajax editing system.

(These Ajax features are actually a subset of my main LGF Blog tools, the stuff I post and edit front-page articles with. So you’re getting a glimpse of the custom-programmed system I use.)
