Re: [Tiki-devel] Proposal for a Blog and News pages redesign

Hi Gary,

Thanks for this - i've actually been using a Tiki blog a bit for the first time in quite a while and it's certainly a lot better than last time i tried it (no thanks to me i'm afraid, so thanks to all who have worked on it)

One thing i'm missing from social media platforms is to be able to upload an image and post about it in the same form, so that's on my wishlist! (ideally from my phone)

Thanks!

jonny

If you compare other popular blogs and news presentation pages these days, Tiki's may not be very impressive. What do you all think about this, do you have any ideas or criticisms about these pages (things to fix or implement or remove, etc.)?

So in this sense it's the author or editor who provides the visuals, not the CSS theme, which tends to be kind of neutral. But we should enable easy placing of images in such a way, and other bells and whistles so that Tiki's blogs and news pages aren't substandard in any way.
