attack of the & quot ! (should be ")

& quot ; not showing up as " on the suggestion. This is what I saw:

Making meat appetizing to a & quot;vegetarian& quot; child.

(that's & quot ; if getsatisfaction fixes it)

Minor bug to knock off and feel productive. :)

Don't be sad! this means that skribit is getting richer and better!

Alison marked one of Calvin's replies in Skribit as useful. Calvin replied to the problem "skribit needs a "report" button.".

Alison replied on March 06, 2009 23:00 to the praise "The skribit website revamp" in Skribit:

I like that- I think it works well, after all, every blog in that group wants that suggestion showing up in their own "inbox" saying "hey, write about this".

However, the display on the public areas of the site could perhaps be compressed into a friendlier one line "Paul suggested this to the group" rather than 5 (or more, how big are the groups!) same suggestions on different blogs in your "timeline"/"feed" on your profile.

I guess that as a browser of skribit, I'm interested in suggestions, not blogs, and as a blogger on skribit, I'm interested in a blog specific view.

Skribit makes me excited about blogging. :)

Umm, your profile, Paul, shows an issue- when you suggest a topic to a group, it shows up as you suggesting the same thing on multiple blogs- unless of course you did suggest that same Q on multiple blogs... then I retract this. :)

Alison replied on March 01, 2009 11:43 to the problem "skribit needs a "report" button." in Skribit:

Another thing is that a skribit suggestion should be perma linked- is there a way to check that people aren't just linking to the www.whatever.com instead of www.whatever.com/thearticle ? This should be clearly communicated to skribit users.

Alison replied on February 27, 2009 23:12 to the praise "The skribit website revamp" in Skribit:

oh, and "my groups" is a bit un-noticeable at first.

The skribit website revamp

I like it- mostly. :)

My bio (creativehedgehog) runs over the blue box set for it.

I don't like the heart for adding a suggestion to my blog- it just doesn't fit with what I perceive to be the theme of the website.

I like how the popular suggestions on my blog are very "HEY! blog about ME!"

The widget install page is very clean and clear.

I like the button "Nuke [blog] from skribit" :)

I like how the blog bio and person/blogger bio are separated. (makes good sense if you had multiple blogs.)

the tag cloud of the groups is a bit unclear.

Grr @stammy and @cyu I'm supposed to be doing a massive room clean but I'm so excited about Skribit! Well done guys.

Alison replied on February 25, 2009 00:08 to the problem "skribit needs a "report" button." in Skribit:

I was more thinking of reporting to the all powerful skribit staff- particularly in the case of malicious stuff. I left a comment on the skribit suggestion in question, which would let the blog owner know- a report button would be to alert you guys about stuff.

What do you think?

Alison reported a problem in Skribit on February 24, 2009 12:10:

skribit needs a "report" button.

I get annoyed at suggestions that aren't blogged about in a satisfactory way, but have been marked as "blogged" this could be a spam manuevor, as it just links to the site url.

http://skribit.com/suggestions/12444 is one example.

Alison replied on February 17, 2009 23:00 to the idea "Craeting Forums of like minded people" in Skribit:

So, now there are groups on skribit- there seems to be a need of a merge/weed of repeat/useless groups.

Alison replied on February 09, 2009 02:08 to the idea "search on skribit" in Skribit:

and languages. Search with filters would be cool.

Alison replied on February 06, 2009 05:04 to the problem "my customised widget isn't the same as the one is on my website." in Skribit:

Ah, Brilliant Calvin- that did the trick, kind of odd how the plain #skribitWidget .skribitSuggestionOdd{
just affects the border of that element, though I get how the other is affecting the background of just the text.

Cheers guys, it looks good now. :)

I love this level of service!

On the other hand, the original issue of my customised widget (from the skribit website) not being replicated, even elsewhere on the skribit website (a caching issue?) is still a problem- even though it has been customised by my own css. (which is way better because I can edit the buttons. I like it.)

Alison replied on February 05, 2009 07:46 to the problem "my customised widget isn't the same as the one is on my website." in Skribit:

this is what it looks like, with red for emphasis

Alison replied on February 05, 2009 04:12 to the problem "my customised widget isn't the same as the one is on my website." in Skribit:

the skribit-odd is weird- it's gray, and then if I give it a colour, it just gives it a border of that colour, and keeps the gray.

Alison replied on February 05, 2009 01:54 to the problem "my customised widget isn't the same as the one is on my website." in Skribit:

Thanks Paul, but the colour information doesn't even get transported across to the CSS info page. it's back to the grey one.

I will try to style the widget my side though. thanks.

Alison reported a problem in Skribit on February 05, 2009 00:17:

my customised widget isn't the same as the one is on my website.

So, I updated my widget to the new groovy looking one (without the clunky header) and also installed the skribit wordpress plugin.

but as the image shows, I don't see it on my website (http://www.creativehedgehog.com)
