New feature: “Sandbox” page, for editors to test out code.

July 21, 2007

At the suggestion of Killgore Trout, I have now created a new “page” on the site:

Sandbox.

It serves one function only: as a place for editors to test out their code and experiment with how things will look before they’re actually pasted into the dictionary.

To edit the Sandbox page, click on “Edit page” at the top of it, or click this link:

Sandbox edit page.

As I say on the Sandbox page itself:

This page merely exists for people to test out code in. Feel free to delete this sentence if you want to and paste any code in here. And remember that other people will also step in here to experiment, so that EVERYTHING ON THIS PAGE IS TEMPORARY, since they’ll erase your code to try out theirs.

Now: start experimenting!

Do be aware however, that WordPress has some mysterious features, and I changed the dictionary page to be a bigger font, but no such change has been done to the Sandbox page, so your “experiments” may look smaller when you’re testing them out, but normal when pasted into the dictionary itself. Maybe.

Anyway, enough of my blabbing: everyone is now free to goof around in the “Sandbox” as much as they want. And don’t hesitate to erase the previous user’s experiment.

    Thanks Zombie!
    I think I’ll go try it out now.

    Good thing I tried it out first. My links stink and my html is rusty.Back to the drawing board.

    Mandy Manners mentioned that this is technically a bit over her head. Can anyone help her out?

    KT, you got too many quotation marks in most of your links. That seems to be part of your problem.

    Use the templates in previous posts, exactly as described, and it should work.

    Hey, folks; busy working on painting my hallway. I’m hoping to write up my first draft of DinnerJacket and get it posted tomorrow, but we’ll see. I’ve still got all the research done….
