I am wondering if it loads ok for people? It loaded fine on my XP at work, but only partly loads on this small laptop. I am wondering if maybe it is too noisy for the front page?
~~~ i notinced it is amazingly large ... 280KB or so. i see that they suggest keeping stuff <100KB when possible ... this cuts down on load times when folks first visit and don't have the page cached yet. i have resaved it as a jpg ... 27KB!!! will upload that version. ~~~ > Interesting that we are managing to use Curlchat as a personal IM communication channel > > > Yes. I logged in there this morning for a while and noticed Yosy logged in. After a while i checked and his name no longer appeared in the list of active users. Did we get rid of the login and logout feedback messages that appear when a person enters or leaves curlchat? I would like to still know that. ~~~ if you have the "alert" box checked it will sound when folks come and go ... and anyone there is listed in the box. ~~~ > I am wondering about the vestibule to our Peace Wiki - my own preference is for a minimalistic sort of Zen entry way - quiet, spare, still, to set the stage for inner calming. ~~~ yes. agreed. i have noticed that we have some orphaned pages now ... which happens when the link to them gets eliminated. but i am looking at them and reviving the ones that seem important ... ie the Peace Poets page. ~~~ > We have very enthusiastic energy on the wiki and i LOVE it. > > I have a little bit of anxiousness left over from our earlier wikis on other hosts... and i wonder if we should start out with a short couple of sentences that say what our Peace wiki and Retreat are all about, so that first time visitors can see in the first paragraph what we are all about? I am worried that the wiki police will once again decide we are using the space for purposes not in line with their policies. ~~~ yeah ... but these "cops" seem pretty hands off. i hope that some of the stuff we are doing will be of help to all their wiki city pages ... i'm thinking now of the help page ... as it comes along we can offer it to angela for use at their main page ... which last i looked ... has very little info/help. ;) ~~~ > > Right now we are talking about Chinese New Years which is not until February before our upcoming Peace Retreat is mentioned at all. > > I think that the small yogi anim is a perfect emblem at the top of the wiki, and so I moved the beautiful heron drawing down to a different section, near the gorgeous jumping dolphin.

"Year of the Rooster" and intended to use the pic to see if i can sus out those characters and what they mean. i wouldn't have any problem with waiting until feb to have it up. that will give me a chance to collect some data on the chinese new year and we could then lead into a chinese new years page ... with info on how that works and what it means to people .. during the tme when it is being celebrated. same with the chinese ... it looks pretty good as it is now ... gives a nice oriental touch ... but i don't want it to displace/overwelm our page. i just found it facinating that these wiki's support all these other languages ... just when i am beginning to renew my chinese studies. ;) i agree ... Peace should be the focus ... we can spread out a little once established. what you tink, lob? how about the rest of you lurkers here? ;) come lend a hand/suggestings. http://peace.wikicities.com/index.php/Main_Page also ... the user:talk pages there are a great place to do just this type of exchange of ideas/concerns ... when we do so ... we are literally all on the same page. ;) exp: ... go to: http://peace.wikicities.com/index.php/User_talk:Lobster and/or User_talk:KnowMystery and User_talk:-ts- mark them as watched pages. you can then access it instantly any time you are there. we can even leave examples/snippets of code for consideration. it's like an admin page for the site. saves having to come here and go back and forth to address things that concern only the Peace page. works for me. -ts- ------------------------ Yahoo!
