I’ve spent the past few weeks working a redesign for captured sparks and this weekend, as you can see, I have put it live.
I have also taken the opportunity to implement some functionality that has been missing. As you might know, captured sparks is published on my own system coded in Rails and even though I have had the basics running for a few months, there were some key things that I needed but never found the time to implement.
During the course of the redesign, I’ve added the following functionality:
Post Status
I can now classify a post as either a draft or published.
Comment Administration
Up until now, I have had to manage any comments by logging into the server and directly editing the database through the Rails console. I’ve now added the ability to approve or reject comments in the admin area.
I’ve also made the decision to effectively ignore IE6. The site uses PNGs for titles and I’ve not taken any steps to address IE6’s failure in this regard. Nor have I checked to see how the site looks in IE6 generally. I’m using IE conditional comments to present a friendly warning to those users with IE6 that the site may not look great and suggesting an upgrade.
