11:44 shrysr diana_coman: http://younghands.club/2019/08/26/week-6-review/#comment-17 I have a single updates section right at the beginning with dates referring to the updates in sections below. I'm not terribly happy with it, but it seemed more efficient to begin with, and still does... after which more and more topics started pouring in as I studied... the idea was to make a 'living document' ....
11:54 diana_coman shrysr: living document is fine but note that 1. that "Updates" section doesn't even *link* to where in the text the update is 2. you seem focused on writer efficiency even at the expense of reader efficiency; do you expect the reader to *memorize* or come back to that section each time or what?
11:55 shrysr some better solutions I see for you to easily find what has been done has been https://tiddlywiki.com/ --- each subheading can be made separate and linked to a global topic and can be self hosted. blog posts on WP could be used for actual articles rather than transient notes. The issue there is that there is no commenting system. However - you can link to specific notes and comment here.
11:55 diana_coman as smallest change, just add the date/time at the top of each new bit, as you put it in.
11:56 diana_coman shrysr: don't start adding/branching/searching for something else again.
11:57 diana_coman if you prefer, just make the "Updates" links too, similar to the table of contents
11:58 diana_coman if each update is a section anyway, you can even make without i.e. just add the date in the table of contents and be done with it
11:58 shrysr if updates are both sections, and added content in existing sections ?
11:59 shrysr I will check if the internal links translate when I export to html.
11:59 diana_coman eh, so if that happens, you have to keep the Updates section but make each line in there a link to the new stuff; the selection thing can work well for that I suppose
11:59 diana_coman do note you need the server-side one to make sure it's consistent across browsers though.
12:00 diana_coman "less is more" - you need to practice minimalism some more.
12:01 shrysr :( quickie tried the selection thing few days ago... it is not working yet. Atleast earlier it was working for others accessing the site , but not for me... now with current 'theme' - get an error.
12:02 diana_coman well, you can use html then since you add the content anyway so add it with hooks (i.e. it's fixed anyway).

12:21 shrysr okay. I will figure out how to make updates more reader friendly using internal links. So to summarise : I will have a primary updates section at the very top - containing chronological update summaries (latest on top) + links to updated sections (and eventually exact content).
12:30 diana_coman sounds ok.
12:30 shrysr HA : they do... https://s.ragavan.co/2019/08/v/#orgd154a2e . Thats good.
12:32 shrysr havent forgottena abt removing https. shd do today i think.
