Comment System Enhancement – Images!
The Slope of Hope has the best comments system on the Internet. That's a claim I make with not only a straight face, but a bit of shock, because I can't believe how lame the other comment systems are. I tried to distribute Slope's comments to other sites, but they weren't interested. Oh, well. It's all for us, I guess.
So our little corner of the Internet has an improvement to make it even better than it was – – the ability to post images along with your comments.
I've always cringed when people had to go through all kinds of gymnastics to share ideas, typically making use of a system like Screencast. They would have to upload their picture to an external site, and then they'd post the URL to that site……….and then another poor Sloper would click on the URL to fly off to that external site and see the image.
Sheesh.
Anyway, those days are over. Upload an image – or multiple images – directly. The thumbnails are displayed instantly, and clicking on an image brings it up in its own tab, full size.
Using it is a cinch. Use comments as you normally do, but if you want to add an image, click the button.
Next, choose the image from your hard disk you'd like to upload.
It'll upload. At that point, you can Add Another Image, or just go ahead and Post Comment.
Voila!
There's another major feature coming – – – a gargantuan one – – but I'll tell you about it when it's ready. Until then……….enjoy your new and improved comments system!
Twitter and Gold
Howdy, folks. Just a couple of comments from me.
First off, I am tantalizing close to crossing the 6,000 mark for Twitter followers. If you use Twitter, be sure to click the Twitter icon on the upper-right corner of the blog so you can follow me. And if you're one of the twelve people on the planet not yet on Twitter, sign up!
As for GLD, I have been avoiding precious metals recently, but today the price got so tantalizing close to the apex I've highlighted that I've created a medium-sized short position. I'll supplement the position if it moves in my direction.
