Site Administrivia

A few things worth mentioning are:

• There is now a weather station in Estelí. It has been added to the weather link on the Links page. In addition, it is displayed when you go to the Estelí city page. That part is an experiment. If all works well, I will be adding similar links to the other city pages.
• If you are looking for "Casa de Carlos", the map on the Estelí weather page does a pretty good job of showing where it is. In other words, the weather station is here at Casa de Carlos".
• I hate to say this again but this is not a place for commercial advertising. If you are new here, read the Member Guide. It might help.
• Copyright and posts about books, articles, ... Don't include the full text of an article unless you have permission of the copyright holder and state so. If you want to discuss a point, put in a link to the source, include the section you want to discuss (preferably in a blockquote block) and then talk about it.
• This is sorta the opposite of the last item. Don't just put up something like "interesting link" and a URL. Tell us what it is about.
• Photos can be put into categories. Please select one. Note that the default is "Indifferent to Category". By default, photos do not appear on the front page. If you don't take the time to pick a category, don't expect me to take the time to promote them to the front page.
• Create Forum Topics permission. New users, by default, don't have it. The steps to get it are:
  1. Make sure your profile makes sense. The most common error is a birth year of the current year.
  2. Be a good citizen. That is, don't post an ad for your business in your blog, swear at long-term members, ...
  3. Send me a Private Message (click on My inbox to access that facility) asking for it.
• Two people have now reported that they cannot change their photo. I know it worked before a semi-recent upgrade. It is on my list of things to check out.
