Is this a "diary?"

by powderbluesfor08 on Mar 29, 2008 1:09 AM EDT

I'm not real computer savy as it is, but at midnight, and with a good buzz.....this is confusing stuff....

Sorry about the rambling but, I wanted to see if I'm doing this right...

Thought it also might be fun to claim....FIRST!

Good meaningless game today by the way.....anticipation growing for the real deal....Hopefully not going to be another bad April.

Weirdness

I'm still trying to get a handle on this new version of the site.

I probably disagree with you.

Adversity builds character

Although change can kill a man my age.

That used up all of my desktop publishing acumen

I probably disagree with you.

Let me be the first to reveal...

...that I really like this new layout. It will take some getting used to, but rosters? Schedules? A live game update?

Sweet, my friend.

Sweet.

I know all of the new formats and functionalities are new to you too, but I read through the "how to create a fanpost" thing and it mentions using tables, but doesn't say how to create one. Do you know how to do it, or know where I can go to find out? Thanks

I probably disagree with you.

honestly, i really don't know

Tables have always been too advanced for me.

hrm...

I just tried doing the HTML coding for a table, but it didn't show up. Boo. Maybe it's not available in comments and requires a ~~diary~~ fanpost.

Could be

They do mention tables in the instructions for creating fanposts, so it seems like you can do it somehow. Now I guess I have to learn how to do simple tables in HTML. Considering how big stats are to baseball fans, you'd think they'd have a simple table function. Oh well

I probably disagree with you.

I was just messing around and you can

import/copy paste a table from word. It takes a little fiddling around with to get the size right but it is pretty easy to do. The HTML didn't work for me either.

Nevermind Just did change

It's cool

Of course it has the same problem that all of them have, which is that they are so small it is hard to make out what it says or shows.

I probably disagree with you.

yeah -- these things are tiny

one other thing about the new site

if you post a fanpost (diary) try to use the tags, especially if it it is about a specific player... then when people click on that player on the roster plage, your diary will show up on the side

by Freneau on Mar 29, 2008 2:38 AM EDT reply actions

oh ok

thats preety neat. didnt even notice that

Seems like site traffic has slowed to a crawl

Is everyone scared off by the new format and having to re-register? It's two days before opening day; this place should be rocking!

I probably disagree with you.

change is scary

I'm really surprised...

...by how easy the transition has been. While some things are different, they are easy to figure out and pretty much all of the changes are improvements.

I probably disagree with you.
