Onward

The WordPress version of Hollywood Elsewhere is up and running.  Disqus is also installed.  And yet, I’m told, commenting on previous posts (i.e., those composed before this very instant in the presently constituted space-time continuum, or the currently morphing version of same) are a no-go.  They can only be posted via “the old commenting system,” I’m told, except that’s not accessible any more so what the eff?

The new commenting universe begins this morning.  Hollywood Elsewhere’s ten-thousand-mile journey begins right now.  As William S. Burroughs once said in a Felt Forum event that I attended in the early ’80s, “We are here to go.”

  • HarryWarden

    Strange that commenting on previous posts doesn’t work indeed.

    Wells, did you decide not to cut down the posts on the main page?

  • just_a_fella

    Been reading for 5+ years. Nice to finally post.

    Disqus is kind of weak. But I was a sucker for that old layout.

    Did you shut off comments on the Chavez post below this one? Can’t really blame you for that one. Could’ve gotten ugly. The truth often is.

    Welcome to the 21st century!

    I miss being able to click to the next/previous post from within the post.

    • http://www.stlcardinalbaseball.com/ Ray DeRousse

      There is a “previous/next” link at the top of the page, just above the post.

      • Sonny Hooper

        Oops, totally missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.

  • Carl LaFong

    My Disqus moniker is the same as my old one here, but are HE regulars having to re-register with new Disqus names?

    Happy fifteenth anniversary to The Big Lebowski. Opening night, Avco Cinemas in Westwood. I remember it as if it were yesterday… except for the girl I saw it with. Dark hair, big boobs, boyfriend who wasn’t me. Still wouldn’t trade that night for anything.

    Best of luck with the new format. I was happy enough with the old, but the inability to edit your comments was a serious nuisance.

    Testing, 1, 2. Testing. The final 20 minutes of Flight were contrived. Test.

    Congrats — commenting is better already

  • Floyd Thursby

    For those of us a thousand years old, the gray typeface is not as easy to read as the old one.

  • I’m Cooperatin’ Here

    Don’t see the advantage yet. Oh well, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.

    Apologize for misplacing icon. But, hey, I’m a thousand years old.

    So the old comments wouldn’t import into Disqus? That’s the first time I’ve ever heard that.
