Trackbacks on site must be editor approved
Wednesday, August 1, 2007 One feature of many blogs is the ability for visitors to post a "trackback." This website accepts trackbacks. It's when someone from another website mentions something neat on this website and posts a note about it on their own site - then we can get a "trackback" here - a reference, kind of like a link. Confusing? Yup. Anyway for those of you who already know this lingo and capability and have given us a trackback.... I have a low tolerance for baloney online, feel very protective of my readership and just today have gotten a couple of trackbacks that I didn't care for - so fyi, automatic acceptance has now been turned off. This site will still accept good trackbacks but all must now be editor approved. Slows things down sometimes, but it makes the site less attractive to the goofies out there.
Photo Download of Veterans picture is up
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 This is new! Over in the navigation column on the right, in the Current News section, there's a new link called "Photo Downloads." Click there to go to a place where you may download the photo of veterans taken last Saturday on the steps of the Christian Church.
This is the first time I've used this capability on the site and right now there's only this one picture to download. We'll see how it goes and if I've got everything working correctly, more photo downloads can be added in the future.
Blogging about Pearl Harbor victim, Alfred Livingston, and WWII
Wednesday, July 18, 2007 Greetings to regular Times readers and new visitors! My name is Anna and I'm the person behind this website. Since the number of visitors to this site is soaring as of late, I'm thinking a bit of background is in order.
The Worthington Times was started in 1853 and has served this community for over 150 years. I am the current publisher, but things change and just recently, I ceased publishing the paper on newsprint. The reason is because I have a family to support and the paper wasn't cutting the mustard. Now I'm trying to keep the Times going online while working a regular job. The past couple of weeks, I've been adjusting to a new schedule so posts have been few.
Whether I can keep up with the news and a job too remains to be seen. But I do intend to keep on telling stories. Eventually those stories will probably be in a separate blog, but for now, since there are so many people checking this current news journal, I'm just going to tell my old stories right here.
If you're here for news, I hope you're not too disappointed if you have to wade through a bit of history.
Since Alfred Livingston is coming home this weekend, I'll be blogging about Alfred and about World War II in Worthington. These stories are on the way but with no deadline!!! I just have to write my way around a work schedule.
