Tech Note: LGF Pages Rebooted

LGF • Views: 2,706

In case you haven’t noticed yet, LGF Pages underwent an extreme makeover last weekend, ending up with a new, cleaner look and some new features.

I’ve been on a consistency kick, so the design of the main LGF Pages index looks a lot like the other pages at LGF, with matching fonts and text styles. And each individual Page (where the comments live) now looks much more like the “standard” LGF template.

In addition to the redesign, there are two new features:

* The category of each Page (first thing in the second line of the byline) is now an active link; if you hover the mouse over it, a list of the 5 previous Pages with that category will pop up. If you click on the category name itself, you’ll go to the LGF Pages index showing all the posts in that category.

* The Twitter button (the little blue T logo) now includes a count of the number of times the shortened URL for that page has been clicked, via Twitter or elsewhere. When you post a Page to Twitter, its URL is automatically shortened using j.mp, and they kindly provide a statistics tracking service; you’ll see the spinning busy icon as our code contacts the j.mp server and retrieves the number of clicks on each link.

(And thanks to everyone for the excellent links you’ve been posting. There’s been some really great stuff.)

Create a PageThis is the LGF Pages posting bookmarklet. To use it, drag this button to your browser's bookmark bar, and title it 'LGF Pages' (or whatever you like). Then browse to a site you want to post, select some text on the page to use for a quote, click the bookmarklet, and the Pages posting window will appear with the title, text, and any embedded video or audio files already filled in, ready to go.
Or... you can just click this button to open the Pages posting window right away.
