    what is a twitter?

    Jen, Twitter.com probably explains it better than I can but I’ll try … it’s meant for publishing quick short updates on what you’re up to, viewable by anybody who signs up to “follow” you on Twitter, and also so you can sign up to “follow” anyone whose frequent short updates (there’s even a character limit) you’d want to see. In this case, I’ve taken one of their free widgets and put it in the sidebar so that anything we publish to Twitter (maybe some quick update like “just posted a lost pet to the pets page” or “road closure reported, we’re checking it out”) will display there.

    Can you move the Twitter box up to the top of your page, or make a link to it at the top of the page? I happened on it this morning by accident, and I think it would be fun to glance at, but I’d never bother to scroll down that far on a regular basis.

    The link’s a good idea. Also we’ll see if there might be a home for it higher-up without displacing the advertisers who are helping keep WSB sustainable :}

Sorry, comment time is over.
