Ranking polls were removed because of a bug in the feature.
News Aggregator removed - not used and unlikely to be useful.
Features to add images (photos) to posts and comments introduced for registered supporters on a trial basis. Supporters are reminded to respect privacy of individuals if posting photos of others.
A few extra buttons added to the 'word processor' feature for posting content.
New site theme introduced. This has led to much clearer layout of the site and easier on the eyes. Still needs some tweaking but we'll get there.

A news aggregator is being set up. A the moment this links the latest news from the Trinidad Express. For a limited time unregistered supporters may use it.
What this does is pull all the latest news from various other sites. So we don't have to go clicking around the T&T Express site to pick out the main headlines - you get it right here.
Accessing the news aggregator is easy. Look for the 'News Aggregator' link in the left column. Click on it. That's it really. How easy is that? Very.

A 'subscription' module was installed. This means that our registered supporters can 'subscribe' to a topic line or group of comments and receive email updates to their registered email addresses about new content. Subscribing does not mean you have to pay money. Everything at this site is free.

A new word processor style input module was installed. This will allow contributors to format their text in bold, underlined or coloured text etc using icons or keyboard shortcuts.
For example to bold press CTRL and tap 'B' on keyboard: see what happens. To underline: CTRL and 'U': see what happens. There are many more features to be discovered.
There is even a Spell Checker for those who install a free spell checker at www.iespell.com (selecting text and hitting CTRL + K allows for entry of hyperlinks).

2007-02-21 19:08 Plans for further development of the site.
The layout of the site is very fluid and may change several times over the next few months. The most important thing about this website is that it is fully interactive.

Unlike some websites where you click on but you have no say in what's up there, this one you can have a say. You can actually change the content. Hold on. And you don't need to be a website builder to do so.
We actually need feedback from our supporters on what they want at the site in terms of features. With that knowledge we can be more certain how to best shape the site.

So, the site is therefore not a static thing. It becomes 'plastic' - moving in a direction that suits supporters. Feedback can be given my registering with us and clicking on a 'Contact Admin' button visible to registered supporters.
