“I like this round up. Please make more of them.”
I put it like that becasue that what you told us to do at the top of the round up.
Feedback would be handy too
You’re right, sorry.
The icons are great, they really help set the heading. But the section headings could be bigger. They are smaller than the individual title headings, which draws the eye away from the sections.
The content is conise and easy to read, that’s a big plus.
Two weeks seems a little long to wait for the next one. But I know how long even soemthing as short as this can take to put together.
I think you have done a great job. I could see something like this becoming a really useful post. ALmost worth a simple site on its own.
BTW, what plugin are you using for this nifty reply section?
I’ll work on the formatting, so that each item fills equal space
It’s not a plugin, it’s default Wordpress with a compatible skin. You turn it on in the ‘Discussion’ settings, called “Threaded (nested) comments”.
It starts to get a bit naff when you get this many replies though and it turns into a tiny box
It must be soemthing related to your theme. I have been suing threaded comments for a long time but on most themes it relaods the page, rather than opening the comment reply immediately. I’ll check your theme to see what’s going on.
I still feel the section headings are lost be the individual titles. For example “Half-lfie 2″ is smaller and less prominant than “Age of Chivalry update”.
