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 ...

Today’s new feature for LGF Pages: I’ve added support for the AddThis sharing widget to all Pages. I was actually going to write my own version, because there are some things I’ve never liked about the AddThis widget (even though it’s been in use at LGF for years). But I checked ...

LGF Pages continues to evolve: the new feature of the day is the ability to embed videos in your Pages from any video website (instead of being limited to YouTube, Vimeo, Liveleak, and Google). To make this work, there's a new button in the LGF Pages bookmarklet that looks something like ...

LGF Pages has quietly transmogrified into a full-featured blogging tool, with embedded videos and images, text formatting, “shadowbox” image popups, auto-linking, and more! If you have an LGF account, you now have your own blog with its own LGF URL. The address of your LGF Page is: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/pag es/username (Replace “username” with your ...

Did I mention that LGF Pages is turning into a full-featured blogging tool for any registered LGF user? I did? Well, it took another step in the mutational process today, with the addition of a free-form tagging system. “Tags” are words or phrases associated with an LGF Page; there are very few ...

Yeesh. When you’re moving text around among browsers and Javascript and PHP and MySQL, and when that text is coming from outside sources (copied and pasted from web pages by LGF users), sometimes the character encoding and translation issues can become … intense. Yes, I’m coding away at LGF Linkage ...

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 ...

We have another improvement to announce in our new LGF Linkage bookmarking tool: now you can use the same HTML formatting you use when posting comments at LGF.

LGF Linkage now supports posting to Twitter, with a little blue button in the upper right corner of each link (next to the Favorite and Report buttons) with Twitter’s lower-case ‘t’ logo. The button looks something like this (in fact, it looks exactly like this): When you click this sweet ...

Our new LGF Linkage page has been enhanced yet again, with the easiest possible embedded video — just post a link to a video’s page at YouTube or Vimeo, and it will automatically be displayed as an embedded, playable video in your Linkage post. Couldn’t be easier. Another enhancement: the Filter ...

Today I’m unveiling the new Little Green Footballs Linkage page, redesigned and enhanced, with new features that make it very simple to post links from any site.

We’re trying out a new tool that lets you easily share LGF articles at a whole passel of social networking sites; Digg, Yahoo Buzz, Reddit, Propeller, Newsvine, Facebook, MySpace, etc. etc. The tool is AddThis. I removed ShareThis for testing purposes; we were having occasional connection problems with ShareThis that slowed ...
Tech Note, LGF Blog Engine, Social Bookmarking, Social Networking, Sharing
You may have noticed the sudden appearance of links beneath each post, labeled “digg this” and “del.icio.us”. These are quick links to let users of “social bookmarking” sites Digg.com or del.icio.us submit an LGF post for publication. Both of these sites tilt pretty heavily toward the moonbat side of the ...
