Cosmo's dashboard

Cosmo replied on October 06, 2009 22:16 to the question "Following people on the dashboard" in Six Apart:

I saw your lovely addition of the "Dashboard" in the new version of Typepad. I love it, but there is one missing piece that would complete it. A messaging system between Typepad users. Kind of like a mini-Twitter where we can talk to the people we are "following" or friends with via PMB, an inbox of sorts, or a public forum. This would be awesome! Tell me what you think of this.

Following people on the dashboard

I know the addition of the ability to "follow" people on the dashboard is new, but is there going to be the ability to follow people through a link on there blog?

Also, right now, the people under "People you should know" are currently people I don't know and random people Typepad chose, right? I think this would be great if it suggested people based on the posts you write and what your blog is about. Maybe there could even be featured profiles that you should follow just like you feature blogs. What do you think?

I really like this idea and hope it gets implemented, this goes back to my idea for Typelists in posts, footers, and headers.

Hah, I like this idea. But Apple, unlike other companies on Get Sat does not listen to peoples ideas here

I agree, but can't you add that manually with HTML?

Cosmo reported a problem in Apple on March 19, 2009 22:13:

Airport Express not working!!

OK: my airport Express is really messed up. All of sudden, since a couple days ago or maybe a week, my airport starts to get really slow. Then the next day my Macbook can't find the network. Sometimes it'll see the network for a second but when I try to join it, it loads for a bit and says connection timeout.

The airport express is directly under my moms desk (we use it for her computer also) which is only a couple yards away from my room. My room is literally next to where the airport is. When I bring my laptop out of my room into my living room the internet is fine again. When it's in my room it doesn't work.

This is completely out of the blue. I called customer service yesterday and he said something about interference which is likely. But the thing is, is that nothing changed. No new metal things surrounding the Airport, it was just random. I need help on how to fix this! I can't keep coming out into the living room for internet, this is ridiculous.

I'm not sure, but you'll probably need leopard first. I'm not even sure if they'll let you upgrade from Tiger to Snow.

How do you make a rollover?

Hi. Could anyone point me towards a good tutorial, or explain below how to make a rollover image that works in Typepad? And please show me how to implement it into Typepad. If you guys know how to do it, it might be a good idea for the Everything Typepad blog so everyone can know how to do it.

Rating posts with stars

Hi- I would love for people to be able to rate my posts just like you do on the Everything Typepad blog. In fact, it should be commonplace on all Typepad blogs and I think it would be a great feature. Anyway, how could I make my own?

Publisher Spotlight?

Hi-Lijit. I've been using your search engine for a while and I love it. Anyway, what does it take to get in the publisher spotlight on your blog? Is there an application or do you select yourselves? I would love to be in it and my blog is http://www.blosmo.com

-Thanks,
Cosmo

Multi-Link images

I know there is no way to do this directly in Typepad but I would like to have an image that can link to two places. Like if I put my mouse on the left of the image I would land somewhere different then if I clicked on the right. Understand? This would make it so I could kind of have two separate images (although it's really one) side by side instead of on top of each other (which Typepad doesn't allow-employees, do you like that idea)?

I know this is totally possible via HTML and whatnot, I just have no idea how to do it. Do you know how? Tell me please. Thanks.

Ooh! That's a good idea! I've thought about that also but I have no idea how to use it. Maybe Typepad knows, if not they should pick up on it. Facebook Connect allows more commenters if they don't want to sign up through Typepad they could have another option.
