Title / Link page render problems

In order to use the Title and Link capabilties with my current Theme I was forced to change the settings of the input boxes from default size of 85 to 65 in order to keep all the right sideabar elements from being shifted beyond the right side of the screen.  I'll need to keep this change in mind when doing future upgrades.

If you're having similar troubles, the settings can be found in the Radio.root database under system.verbs.builtins.radio.macros.weblogPostForm.

Expand the section marked "bundle //add title and link" and you'll see the exposed  html code which renders the edit box and Title/Link input fields.

Yahoo Opt-in

>>> Scripting News : Like everyone else I heard about Yahoo's change in policy about opting-out for marketing messages, but until now I didn't know where I had to go to turn them off. Thanks to Eugene Leitl for posting the pointer. Very clear. I'm turning them all off. And thanks to Yahoo, no sarcasm, for letting me do that. They're in a tough spot, for sure -- with a big burn rate, low sales, and no place to turn to get more free money. Those of us who use Yahoo's mail list service for community and standards work really don't have a choice but to continue to use it. We're all in a tough spot. <<<

Decided that a change in font was required to make the sight easier to read.

>>> New Feature: News Alerts!. A new feature on NewsIsFree. You can now register to receive notifications when a news feed changes (for registered users only!). So if you don't want to add a feed to one of your pages but just be notified when it changes, just click on the little light buld next to the feed name in the lists of sources and on the source information page. You'll be taken to a page with your current list of news watchers. Those which have changed are shown in bold. The "changed" status is cleared when you visit the feed through that link. You can choose to have changed feeds displayed in the site's side navigation area for easy access. You also choose to get the new content of the feeds you are watching emailed to you, so you don't have to come to the site to see it. There's more: the list of changed feeds is also available in RSS so you can subscribe to it in your news reader and just get change notifications rather than all the content. Planned extensions: watch weblogs on weblogs.com and be notified when they change; receive change notifications by IM (ICQ, Jabber, MSN, ...). Please note that this is beta and that, while it is currently available to all, it will be part of a "premium service" package in the near future. Please post comments to the forums... <<< [Mike Krus: NewsIsFree]

Mike raises the level of service at News Is Free once again.  My emphasis outlines the new features.  Too cool!
