Like Craig, I barely notice British spelling and idiom because I read so much of it. I wouldn't want to see the articles edited to one usage or the other, just consistent within the article.
-
GP: I think you originally said you didn't want to edit. I've made you an editor. You should be able to see and edit Craig's article.

Right, because poor sales couldn't be due to the economy being in the toilet, poor product quality, lack-luster promotion, or any of the other causes that normally affect business.

Yes. You sometimes have to tape them to a junk LP to play them.

Since everyone seems to like Night Transition, I contacted the developer to ask how much he'd want for us to use the theme without the ad links in the footer. I don't have a problem with the links if the cost is unreasonable. I'd just prefer to only…

I added an image to The Hillbilly Continuo. It's Creative Commons Attribution license.

@ScissorMan: I added a file browser plugin (for admins) It allows to maintain all of the files and folders. It's under Tools. I modified Night Transition to look for images i…

@Nereffid: I don't like the "is" there. There's no need to force every Bio to start with "Billy JoeBob is ...". I took "is" out and started the bio on a new line.

Back in the early '60s albums weighed about 160 grams. I don't have any older ones handy to weigh but I wouldn't be surprised if they were heavier. By the time we got out of the '70s the weight was down to 120 grams, possibly less. So the 180 gram r…

I guessed correctly about Night Transition. The blurb it shows is "Biographical Info" in the profile. I stuck some Lorem Ipsum in Nereffid's to show what it looks like. Email link is gone from the author blurb courtesy of the delete key.

Rut-ro! Night Transition has an email author link on the single post page. I'll see if I can kill it. <---edit: Done.
I'm getting mail from the blog that Night Transition is looking for an image it can't find. On investigation, I foun… -
So far I like Crema the best. I also like Peava, but it's more complicated than 1-2 ranking. I like the look of Pevea the best, but I'm not sure we want to feature the posting date so prominently. It would call attention to the length of time betwee…

Here's a couple more themes to peruse:
Blue Lollipop Innocuous links in the footer. I didn't see any statement that the author would accept… -
I suppose we could use the third column for tags. We'll have enough of them.
@ScissorMan: I think the tags in the header can be turned off. They certainly can be fo… -
I looked for more themes based on the feedback on the others. These are all MagPress themes. Some of these are 3 column themes. I think 3 column themes are too busy. I've changed 3 column themes to two columns before. Sometimes the theme has a switc…

I also thought of wrapping the post list and sidebar with some of those spindly creations (i.e. they would be the side borders).
edit: also 7 -
GP: That's a question for cafreema. My take: Using an image of an album cover in the context of a review is fair use if it is an accurate representation. From a business perspective a record company would have to be insane to harass a review of an a…

The idea is to select the presentation we like best visually. Details like where the author and tags display are straightforward to change in most themes. Solid color is usually easy to change. Elements that are images require creating a new image. …

I forgot to mention that I added Connections Reloaded and Rindo to the preview links above.
-
@GP:
The way the text splits can be fixed (most often by using two pieces of text). It's a bit more work than I care to do for the rough selection. When we are down to a couple … -
@cafreema: You can set the date you want to publish. Editors can publish and the article will go live on the date set.
-
I had an access setting wrong. The links should work now.
-
I've set up a few themes for folks to preview. Clicking the link will take you to MiG with the selected theme. The theme will stay active for 10 minutes, then go back to the standard theme, which is currently Contempt. Unless noted, none of these th…

@Brighternow: No, it's not you. The author is hidden in the data below the post. On the article's page is isn't there at all. We may change to a better theme (a set of files …

O.k. Ladies and Gentlemen: I've installed a theme-switcher plugin. If people want to propose a few themes I will add them and provide links here that will allow you to view MiG in each of the themes.

@ScissorMan: The free MagPress themes include sponsored text links in the footer. Based on what I've see…

A few ideas for an icon:
Heart with one or more musical notes superimposed, or passing through
Hearts and musical notes swirling around
Musical notes with a thumbs up
Stylized letters MiG or MG -
Sorry to monopolize the thread but I have more good news. I just installed WPtouch to support mobiles including iPhone, iPod touch, Android, Palm Pre, Samsung touch and BlackB…
