We put that link there because our feed is inappropriately used on hundreds of different sites, so that link is a sign to people reading the article on other sites that we are the ones who are producing the content.

Ah, fair play then, it’s always annoying when someone else steals your content and I guess when that’s your day’s work it gets even more irritating.

Another thing - in your RSS feed there’s always a link at the bottom of an article with “Read more and comment” then a link to the article. Thing is, the format of an RSS feed defines the article link in the top, and this is picked up by the feed reader. So having that there is just a bit of unecessary clutter. Especially as there’s another ‘Add a comment’ link at the bottom under the related posts.

We had a feeling that there would be some people who didn’t like it, but if we make it prominent it will be a reminder to our visitors to make use of the features.

Not to harp on, but for readability purposes you could change the icons into longer icons (with a fixed width this wouldn’t be a problem) that fill the bar from left to right but aren’t as tall. They would still be highly noticeable, but also wouldn’t extend the article more than necessary.

@Jack:
3) Those buttons confused people more than they helped them. We wanted to keep things a little simple so we removed those buttons. You can still hyperlink words by wrapping an HTML hyperlink tag around it manually, but the easiest way is to just paste the URL in the comment. Our system will automatically hyperlink URL’s that you paste in.
4) I’m not quite sure what you mean by the multilingual support being gone. We’ve got the different language buttons in the footer of the page now if that’s what you’re looking for.

3) the buttons confused ppl, and using HTML tags did not? now thats funny
4) if u look at the trackback text (below the comments) that appears for the link i posted, you could see that only the letters in English appears correctly (at least for me). you see “the glass is half” and from both sides of it there is Gibrrish. it wasn’t the case before, where you could see the title i gave to my post, in Hebrew.
hopes that clarify this.

Hey guys!

GREAT job on the site! The layout, the colors, the features, they’re all great. Of course, you won’t be able to please everyone… and if you do, let us all in on the secret!!

Only question I have is regarding Live Titles. When the site changed, my Live Title bookmark changed to display “e9 = new Object();” and some more JavaScript. I deleted the bookmark and remade it, only to realize that the Live Title is gone. You guys stop supporting this feature?

Otherwise, great!! Keep up the great work!

We had forgotten to put those back in, but they’ll be up by the end of next week. Thanks for the reminder
