Hearing Funk # 49 -- The James Gang
R9 in Beta -- Hammer Away
New changes are afoot, my Journals
friends. The R9 release is coming up soon, and
we've already pushed it to Beta so everyone can
play around with it, get used to it, and most importantly, find
bugs BEFORE we release it.
As always, Product
Manager Stephanie
BamBam! has a fuller
update.
The most obvious changes are visual, but we've
changed the way error messages are handled and the Blog This! function a bit,
too.
Here's a sample look at Journals R9 -- the arrow points out the buttons' new look:
To join the fun, just place the word "beta" after the http:// in your URL.
For example: my URL is currently
http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke
My URL in Beta would be simply
http://beta.journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke.
I bolded the "beta" for sake of emphasis only ... please don't drive
yourselves nuts trying to do that.
Have fun, hammer
around, and please mail me about any bugs you find, or leave 'em in the
comments.

Hmmm, as far as I can see, you're making the journals look much more like the message boards. You know, the ones that don't work. Not an association I would have chosen to make were I responsible for it.

My question is ... after adding beta to my address by going into my editing controls, will my readers need to reset their alerts?

I think it's more like "new paper" instead of a new pen. If you don't agree, then perhaps we should settle this outside like gentlemen. You bring your shiny new pen, and I'll wave my hypnotizing new Ninja paper around. You don't stand a chance.
Seriously, it looks nice, and as I told Stephanie, I like the centering, but I used to fill that big blue void with a DVD window while I was writing. I'm looking forward to the release. But, what's the latest with the embedded polls?

Jeff, I don't see any change on my blog with BETA. Perhaps I will catch on here soon, I hope. I am still trying to learn how to set the fonts also, as I write at 14,yet it comes out very small..something is amiss there. But I had earlier wrote to the Journal for tech help, sent by one of the live online techs, as they couldn't fix it..My problem seems to be with the wrap, I have always had my picuures centered at the top of the page, and now it is over on the left hand side, and I cannot change it, even with all the check, and recheck, to eliminate the wrap issue. And of course, I cannot get my width cut back..It is wide, even as I had taken your advice to drop the Capitals each time. My blog looks better also, but need to get these issues taken care of..Thanx Jeff..

is it only going to change my - edit entry - button and make it smarter??
What's the fun?
AOL can play but I don't want to loose anything
I would even like to save my blogs somewhere, on a CD perhaps but don't even know if this is possible.
Anyway, I will try to hear more about those changes before trying anything and will watch the reactions :D
Be safe
