Neatorama Update: A Lil' Upgrade

Posted by Alex in Blog & Internet on March 18, 2008 at 5:19 am


Does Neatorama look different? That’s because we’ve just completed an upgrade to Neatorama’s look and feel (it went pretty smoothly, thanks Wordpress!)

Hopefully you guys will like these two new features:

  • Single post pages now have "next post" and "previous post" links, to make it easier to navigate
  • User comments now have PG-rated gravatar enabled (don’t have one yet? Get it here)

Well, that’s it for now. We’re still moving little things around, but if you guys catch any mistake, please let me know (and thanks in advance!)

    I've been seeing my gravatar in comments for a long time. Was it invisible to others?

    The previous and next buttons will make things easier for a lot of people. But for fun, I can't wait to see what gravatars the regulars select!

    I don't see a whole lot of difference, but since I usually read on RSS these days I might have just missed it.

    It's a minor upgrade :) Just a lot of subtle color since I like Neatorama to remain with mostly white background.

    Looks good. Nice to see you didnt tamper with how simple it is. I hate it when sites are complex. And your next post and past post made it more simple to navigate. Also, Thanks for the gravatar! It makes comments more remember-able of people who say it.

    I loved playing Gravitar when I was younger - wasted many a quarter on that game.

    //oh gravAtar - never mind.

    The font used on the header is the same - just a little bit bigger. The font on the sidebar is new (there anyways, it's always been on the bottom).

    @Selvo: it's a gentle hint for commenters to be nice. Maybe it'll work subconsciously ....

    Just did another round of optimization, this time trying to increase page load. I think we've managed to serve the content up much faster now, with much less "lag" from the ad server.

    Funny thing: I can't get my gravatar to work. Must find that bug later ...

    So what is the pixel dimensions on the gravatar? It seems to be a wee bit smaller here then on the test display on the main gravatar site.

    It's 32x32 pixel - the one at gravatar is 80x80. I like your gravatar, VonSkippy - now if only I can get mine to work!

    Ah, my gravatar is fixed! Turns out I had to clear out some caches.

    Yeah! Love the update Alex! And the features are awesome! I've been visiting my sister and my brother-in-law in Philly for her College graduation and just got back two days ago with a pounding headache! ;)

    I might just make neatorama my home page

    I wish i could get mine to work.... <.< i don't think the instructions on here or the gravatar site themselves are very userfriendly (although i am one of few who seem to have issues :D )
