luckymom30ParticipantSent afew request for news to be added to the WS Blog frontpage, is the page down?
March 18, 2011 at 1:29 am #720573
PatrickKeymasterThis Mac and one of the pc’s shows the front page to be there.
March 18, 2011 at 2:13 am #720574
luckymom30ParticipantI and other people I know have contacted WS Blog to post information to your front page of your website and it still has not been posted. We are just anxious to share the news.

JustSarahParticipantI know I sent a message that yesterday my bus was two minutes late, and today I stayed home sick. Why haven’t those news items posted to the front page, WSB??
March 18, 2011 at 2:18 am #720576
JanSParticipantI think it might be up to the discretion of the editor whether it actually gets on the front page or not, not that you’ve requested it.

DPMemberSarah: Is it true that you were captured as an infant and raised by a tribe of Jivaro Indians, who schooled you in the fiendish art of the blow gun and the poisoned barb?
March 18, 2011 at 2:50 am #720578
JustSarahParticipantShoot, how’d you find that out, DP? I didn’t send that to WSB.
I prefer to keep my private life private! I’m sure you wouldn’t like me to blab about your side job as an Etsy seller. You must make a killing selling this stuff!

luckymom30ParticipantWe are requesting WSB to post about my daughters school winning the Semi-Finals today in the Global Reading Challenge. And yes it does deserve front page coverage as did the other schools.
March 18, 2011 at 3:25 am #720580
sam-cParticipantwhich school ? saw Sanislo and Concord on the main page
March 18, 2011 at 3:41 am #720581
luckymom30ParticipantRoxhill. I sent a picture of the team.
March 18, 2011 at 3:46 am #720582
WSBKeymasterYou know, once in a while I take a nap. Just once in a while. Happened tonight. Sorry. Got about six non-breaking stories in queue including that one.
(added) I should also note for anyone concerned by that confession, that the site is watched for breaking news on those occasions and any such would not have gone unreported. In addition, we have some much-needed editing help signing on beginning later this week for regular assistance with some of the non-news sections of the site. – TR

luckymom30ParticipantThanks for posting the information, but you spelled my daughters name wrong, please correct, thanks!

GenHillOneParticipant*speechless*
March 18, 2011 at 4:34 am #720585
luckymom30ParticipantHuh?
March 18, 2011 at 4:35 am #720586
WSBKeymasterWhich name? This information came from Christopher Robert, the head teacher. Including the photo ID information after the direct quote. It is a cut-and-paste. I apologize if something is incorrect but it came directly from the school.
March 18, 2011 at 4:36 am #720587
luckymom30ParticipantKelli.
March 18, 2011 at 4:38 am #720588
luckymom30ParticipantAlso the whole team that was pictured was not mentioned, the student coaches should also be given credit they are: Miarra, Mulualem and Crystal. Thanks for making the correction! They are all in 5th grade.
March 18, 2011 at 4:55 am #720589
inactiveMemberHope your nap was good TR.
And Luckymom30? This is just my personal opinion, but I am guessing you have no clue as to how many people just like you give such grief and, from my point of view, egregious ingratitude to WSB’s publishers.
What do you pay to demand thusly?
What do you pay for this remarkable, nationally recognized and respected news service.?
Think about that for a good long minute.

WSBKeymasterWSD, thanks, we do need to be able to deliver on our promise. And while we don’t ask any financial compensation from “readers,” they do honor us with their trust, their “here’s a cool pic from the Reading Challenge” (or a bird, or a seascape, etc.) contributions, their recommendations to friends/family/colleagues/whomever …
But in terms of reasonable expectations, and trust me, this also goes for the hundreds-of-employees Seattle Times, there are occasions (with no naps involved) in which publication does take a few hours. For various reasons. So we appreciate everyone’s understanding.
We also incidentally are continuing to slay technical dragons – a new one has popped up tonight and even once I was back at my battle station, that took some troubleshooting. (It’s not affecting reading as far as I can tell but if you look at the lower part of your browser and are seeing a “transferring data” that isn’t resolving, we’re trying to figure that one out. Never a dull moment.)

luckymom30ParticipantMarch 18, 2011 at 5:09 am #720592
inactiveMemberYou did not sound ever so appreciative Luckymom30. You sound like you are entitled more than the other 60,000-100,000 people this news service covers.
You chose to bring this matter out into the public forum rather than sending an email. Therefore, I’m going to tell you exactly what I and others are thinking about your public kvetching. It sucks.
And that’s all I’m going to say lest I further dignify your whining.
[Edit: except to note that luckymom30 deleted her response. telling.]

S5Member@westseattledood: Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you.
March 18, 2011 at 5:32 am #720594
luckymom30ParticipantOK children meaning: westseattledood and S5: I tried to post that we are very appreciative to WSB for correcting the mistake.
March 18, 2011 at 5:37 am #720595
inactiveMemberThis never should have been posted on the Forum and you know it.
You owe WSB an apology via email as well as here for your bad form and less than classy decision to post here.
IMHO.
I’ve made my point.
March 18, 2011 at 5:37 am #720596
luckymom30ParticipantGo away westeattledude, or dood whomever you are.
