SOMEBODY PUT A CHAT FEATURE ON

THIS BLOG!

Stuff happens way too fast around the world now. We need either a live ticker or a chat feature where we can talk to other blog members. If other blogs can do this, I believe we can too. Sadly I have no idea how or I would offer some tips.

We need something that would be effective but wouldn’t slow the loading of the page way too much. So something light and fast. Any ideas?

(Of course, we would need to ask Midnight Rider and Pastorius about this.)

I hope someone has some ideas. A Chat feature would be great.

Thanks Will.

I have used this feature at Alex's blog. I didn't know you could just add it.

Pastorius, what do you think?

Pastorius said...

Sounds good. I'll send it to our Admin guy (yes, believe it or not, we have an Admin guy).

;-)

Lol! Cool, well, let's see what the "Admin guy" does.

We also might wanna make this chat feature clearly visible so people don't have to scroll like crazy just to say, "hey!". Know what I mean?

AOW,
No results for #IBApasto in English on Twitter !
#IBApasto is free ! Lets use it !

Put the Twitter widget on IBA right above "Patton"!

See example on my Blog.

Warren can do it in no time ...

I have a feeling this would work smoothest since this site (Blogger) is really a google site. I also have to say oddities of display seem minimized when using Google Chrome on blogger

Why not open a forum????

Pastorius said...

Thanks,Epa.

Pastorius said...

ACE,
You mean an open forum as in anyone can post anything they want on the front page?

I think that would be open to major attack by idiots all the time.

What do you think?

No open forum POR FAVOR!

Just like Pastorius said, it will be open to attacks and spam by Muslim/Leftist idiots. I am not proposing censorship but my idea about a chat feature was for the members of this blog (and regular contributors through comments) so that we can share stuff AS IT HAPPENS.

Also, it will enable us to discuss things with each other, share plans and ideas without having to write up a whole article.

So, IBLOGA Admin Guy! Where is my chat feature?!!

He has been taking care of his wife, who is ill.

He wrote to me yesterday and said he would try to get to it this weekend.

Oh, sorry. I didn't know. Well, the chat thing can wait. Hope his wife recovers soon.
