http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2020-03-20#1022535 - good for you.

http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2020-03-20#1022495 - BingoBoingo, looks ok-ish to me (the 2 pics at the top don't seem the right size/fit really) but dunno, is the plan that you'll stick in there ads? and if yes, shouldn't it be clear already where, at least?

Logged on 2020-03-20 12:10:46 BingoBoingo: And the new thing's online http://mvdstandard.net/ I'll be running some errands today, taking Spanish class, and hammering out a blog post introducing it where I take a bit from the plans I'd been drafting adapted to the rather uncertain landscape on the other side of present herd stampede.

04:01

BingoBoingo: also, what's your plan with the qntra archives?

04:03

http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2020-03-20#1022614 - lol, take the mind to the cr mechanics and they'll apply the "use a hammer" methodology!

diana_coman: Thank you. I'll be revisiting the ad question in three months. As the setup stands now the sidebar can accomodate one, individual posts can accomodate one rotating between the end of the article and the comments, and if interest bears to do ads in volume a classified ads page can be done though the prospects for that seem to have popped earlier this week. I'll head out later with the camera to grow the picture stock some

11:29

more and weigh where I may want to put some placeholders.

11:29

diana_coman: The three months figure comes from not seeing much happening in the city worth advertising until the viral-fad winds down. That's time to start building the reporting history, start getting traffic, and having some readership to show once business starts winding up again.

11:30

diana_coman: As far as the Qntra archives go, I plan to keep Qntra stood up as it is indefinitely. If I'm hosting one site another doesn't come with substantial added cost. Once the new thing has started to grow its own history, I may import them, but I'm not ready to cross that bridge yet.

~ 3 hours 25 minutes ~

14:55

BingoBoingo: do you mean you don't want qntra's archives to overshadow the new content simply by size/number?

15:00

cruciform: mind leaving the connection on?

15:00

diana_coman, I don't have a bouncer; wouldn't that risk join/part spam?

15:00

it's pretty much how it's meant to work really, no need to leave and re-join, just let it be on somewhere, whether you are at the keyboard or not

15:01

depends on how stable (or not) your connection is really; on a reasonable setup & connection, it shouldn't flicker normally but you know what connection you are on.

15:01

ok, I'll give that a go

15:08

diana_coman: At least for a few months.

15:09

BingoBoingo: no problem that I can see there anyway/either way; more of my curiosity on this only, since I admit that I also don't quite see all those problems re qntra /former alignment/etc but from what I gather, it's probably a very different perception altogether. Anyways, no issue there either way.

15:10

diana_coman, I've spoken to alf and BB regarding hosting an mp-wp blog; they've given me the setup documentation, so plan for tomorrow is 1) read through that, try to make sense of it; if I can’t, setup a temporary heathen blog until I can. 2) Read #o logs to grok what YH is. 3) Write an article regarding 2) & what I want; and whether the two intersect.

15:11

diana_coman: I don't see any real disalignment between Qntra and the new thing. While the new thing's new, I'd just like to keep the aesthetic new.

cruciform: as I said earlier, if you prefer/find it easier, I can just give you an account on the younghands.club blog so you are not stuck on "no blog" or "don't know how to setup mp-wp" or some other silly stuff like that; entirely up to you though, I don't mind it either way so you'll have to speak up/ask for it if/when you want that.

Logged on 2020-03-20 17:22:42 diana_coman: cruciform: do you plan to get yourself one? or do you want to inaugurate the new YH category of ...hm, maybe hopefuls, I guess

15:17
