Hello to all you #frothers
Thought I'd take the liberty of starting us a nice new thread as the other is getting rather full. :)

Morning, do the tabs look odd on anyone elses browser? Mine has eaten the text off of both tabs except the home page one.

It is so, so good to work on a collective project like this. Love everything that everyone has done, I think Garlic was working in the blog last night too, possibly responsible for the contact your MP box. Which I agree is a great idea! Also great job updating the petitions page. I feel all warm and fuzzy. Bloody marvelous!!

I agree that targetting celebs with the frothers blog and # is a good idea.

Hopefully DD won'tbe quite so clingy tonight and I will start to put together an email to use to contact bloggers with.

It looks fine to me - I'm on firefox.

MmeLindor. · 06/12/2011 11:18

Looks fine here, on Chrome.

Zac Goldsmith in the news for likening newspapers to Auchwitz

Morning all

I'm still bloody ill and wrestling with work and crap - argh. In much better news though, the blog looks amazing! Wow, sterling and top notch work there. I'm tweeting away when I can and bloody well will get round to writing something at some point - I have loads of ideas from friends thanks to going on about frothers on my facebook, and also stuff from twitter. It's still an idea soup at the moment though that needs organisation and a non cotton wool brain.

Hullygully · 06/12/2011 12:24

Right, I found the emails (hiding) and now they say they will help me make a google email. How and where?

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 06/12/2011 12:36

Hully, are you asing how to make a google email ?

Open a new tab on your browser, enter "google" into the search engine. When you get to the home page of google (where you type what you want to google for) there is a "gmail" option on that page

go to that and the option "create an account" comes up

ta-daaa

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 06/12/2011 12:36

Hullygully · 06/12/2011 12:38

thank you lovely.

I am starting to feel that I should just take up embroidery instead...

MmeLindor. · 06/12/2011 12:39

I have a nice chisel and block of stone that I could send you, Hully. You could write on there and take a photo send to the blog. None of this newfangled compoooter stuff.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 06/12/2011 12:41

For some reason, for some applications, you need a gmail account

I didn't know wtf that was until I had it explained simply, that it is email generated from the google website

I apparently have 3 email accounts now. An old AOL one from the dark ages, my personal Sky one, and a gmail one I use for other online stuff (no, not that kinda stuff before you start... Xmas Smile )

Hullygully · 06/12/2011 12:42

I thought smoke signals might work.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 06/12/2011 12:42

Hullygully · 06/12/2011 12:43

I've got hundreds. I can't bear to look at them, there's too many.

KateMiddIeton · 06/12/2011 12:47

Morning all. Sorry I ducked out last night. Had a toddler to wrestle. Literally it turned out Hmm

Glad you found those naughty emails Hully Grin there should be a link to click to make your gmail account. If not if you go to www.google.com/accounts you can make one there and then follow the link from your email.

Alternatively, PM me once you've created your gmail account and I'll get another invitation sent out to you.

Love, love, love the blog changes. Especially the tabs. The petition bit is perfect. Can I suggest renaming it to Petitions and Action? And moving the contact MP box there because it's quite far down on the main page? I love the idea that someone reads something on the blog or the Facebook page or Twitter and thinks "I really want to do something about that. What can I do?" and they just go to the Petitions and Action page and do something. I haven't looked at whether this is already happening but if we can link the actions on the blog to the actions in the P&A page that could be good.

Can everyone see the tabs ok? I'm using Chrome and I'm struggling to see them a bit. I wonder if we should make them orange to match the logo?

I have done a bit of work on the mission statement and a rough strategy. I will have a look through to check I've got all the suggestions and ideas incorporated but I suspect I will miss things. This won't be because they are not great ideas but will be because I am still poorly and have another two deadline I'm supposed to be working on.

Re the Zac Goldsmith stuff, I've read what was actually said and tbh I think as an MP he should know not to make comparisons with Nazis (unless it's directly genocide related) but what he says looks clumsy rather than dangerous if that makes sense?? Next to much of what's going on it seems rather trivial and detracting from the main event. And goodness knows I'm no great fan of Zac!

Hullygully · 06/12/2011 12:54

ok.

I've done it all wrong. How do I change my user name on stupid fucking arse bastard fucker google email?

KateMiddIeton · 06/12/2011 12:57

Just your user name or the name or your gmail?

Can you pick one off the list of examples that want to change?

First name: Hully
Surname: Gully

UserID HullyGully

[email protected]

MmeLindor. · 06/12/2011 12:58

((hugs Hully))

:o

Hullygully · 06/12/2011 12:59

I put my real first and last name because it didn't say don't. I don't want those appearing, but i can't see a place to change them.

I told you I should just frigging embroider

KateMiddIeton · 06/12/2011 13:00

Sorry stupid Luddite questions: Can we have share buttons at the top of the individual blog posts? So when I click into one post to share it on Facebook/Twitter (as no doubt soon thousands will be doing) it will have the share boxes at the top for easy sharing?

I feel I am the crash-test dummy of the blog. I have a reasonable idea of the process and know what questions to ask but ultimately I am at the mercy of whoever's programming the thing Grin

KateMiddIeton · 06/12/2011 13:04

Yes please post me your sampler's Hully and I will photograph them and add them to the blog

Mine has my real name on my account so when I send emails it will say Kate Middleton as the sender's name but my email address is less obvious and when I post or leave a comment on the blog it doesn't show there. It shows my username of KateM or whatever it is (it isn't KateM as you all well know).

I'll have a look now if you can change your name on gmail. Or you could delete and start again?

KateMiddIeton · 06/12/2011 13:05

sampler's?! Shock I will be SHOT by the pedants. And I will deserve it!

samplers

MmeLindor. · 06/12/2011 13:30

Right. Almost finished my post on Empty Houses and the housing strategy. Do you want it for the blog? Feel I am hogging it a bit.

Does someone have something to froth about?
