    What’s the deal with politically-related stories? Say the Ambrose decision comes down on Friday afternoon, can the papers print stories about it in their Saturday editions?

    Interesting question! But it'll be coming down tomorrow.

    Aha! It seems it doesn’t like capitalised extensions. (Ian, you’re welcome). I changed the extension to lower case and, voilà.

    Applause.

    Hmm. I assume it is a jpeg? Silly question, but not sure this will support other formats. Also, does the post take a while to load? If so, you need to wait before doing anything else. I’m sorry it isn’t behaving.

    I've had .png files fail before, so yeah, jpegs. But I think the trick is to write something in the box before you click to upload the file. The image comes in above what you've written.

    Attachment

    I make no claim to any technical or aesthetic merit here, but I thought people might like to see the view from the edge of the Mt Eden crater this afternoon.

    Nice work all; this is a great new feature.

    There are a couple more new blogs coming, but not till the new year. I'll hold a competition to name one of them before Christmas.

    Also: I've retired Graham Reid and Fiona Rae's blogs from the masthead, although all their posts will still be available. Fiona signed off a little while ago, and Graham readily agreed that no posts since February 22 (yes, that February 22) was a sign to hang up the blogging pen.

  • Hard News: Criminalising Journalism, in reply to hamishm,

    Exactly, Hebe. Why the hell would anyone want Henry on a serious election analysis…oh, right.

    The @CampbellLive tweet last night making it clear the debate was a news and current affairs gig and that Campbell Live had no input into the selection of panelists was interesting.

  • Hard News: Grokking things by being places, in reply to Paul Campbell,

    Someone who can't handle that wants to be in parliament? surely a bad sign that the candidate isn't up to the job ...

    It's certainly not a good thing to happen, but meeting angry people is part of campaigning. It happens to everyone.

    p.s. advertising for other sites which may have (even old) election-related stuff is also a no-no.

    Good point. I'll make sure Scoop Media take house ads out of the rotate.

    I’m really happy to be part of the PA whanau along with Jonathan and Jackson.

    It's nice to make it official :-)
