[Web] Features, Editorial interface

[John Slade]

Sean, et al -

I 'combed the lists' for the wrong posts and losers, and promoted one 
and added one feature.

I know the opp prop should have gone out earlier; I don't think it hurts 
turnout to have it day of (which it is today) because any notice is 
better than none. In this case, my vaca and technical problems are to 
blame...

Still needing new features; throw some up!

To move posts between local and not - edit the post, and check or 
uncheck the box that says 'local'.

I've been wanting to put much more effort into the editorial aspect of the site, because I think we could do a lot better. (I know we're all short time, but I have some to give now w/a new job) I'm also happy to weed out shit posts. I'd be willing to try to move some of the out of place stories, because there are a lot. I don't, however, know how to do that. I haven't spent much time logged in, because I didn't have my password for a long time and now it's been down.

I have quite a few to do and just found out this would qualify towards my hours. I have plenty left to do (60) and would like to get them done before the election. I'd like to be able to vote if I can.

Fascism is: A fuzzy totalitarianism characterized by selective populism, contempt for the weak, fear of difference, obsession with plots, and a cult of tradition.

        Umberto Eco 

Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a 
merger of state and corporate power.

        Benito Mussolini
