Welcome to OfficeTally 2.0!
Saturday, October 25th, 2008 | 135 commentsAfter more than two and a half years, I decided that OfficeTally was due for a little makeover.
A few things to note:
- No matter what page you’re on, you can click “OfficeTally” in the banner to go back to the home page, same as before.
- See those icons next to some people’s comments? — if you’d like your own, create an account at gravatar.com. Whatever email address you sign up with there, make sure you use that same address when posting a comment here. (If gravatars wreak too much havoc server-wise, I’ll turn them off. But for now, have fun!)
- The “Comments” link is now at the top of the post instead of at the bottom — for easier reach.
- You can now find the “About,” “Chat,” “Links,” “Spoilers,” and “Calendar” links at the top right corner of the banner.
- The “Links” page now includes many more websites!
- You can now chat directly on the “Chat” page.
OfficeTally 2.0 — it’s the same as before, but fresher. Hope you like it!
P.S. OfficeTally 2.0 looks fine in most browsers, but it looks best in Firefox.






tanster,
i just noticed the quote-a-day. nice touch! (especially for those of us without the calendar :)
Tanster! When did you do this!?!?! I was away for about two and a half weeks; I checked once and it was the same and then BOOM! it changed. I do like it; very snazzy and rejuvenated. But just WOW! Many thanks again for all that you do; it really is incredible!! I have a lot of catching up to do… I think I’ve only watched up to ‘Business Ethics.’ I’m looking forward to ‘Office’ overload for awhile now haha!
Hi Tanster – sorry it has taken me a while to add my kudos on the new site. Finding it easy to get around (and I hope on some level these changes will make things easier for you too!) I have no idea how you keep up with all the work this site requires, but I’m so grateful that you do!
This is awesome. I now want to try to comment more because of the gravatar thing.
What a silly reason to start commenting, huh? Haha.
[from tanster: not at all! it's an excellent reason. :) ]
Argh. The lines seem to randomly appear and disappear. I’ll keep working on it!
They sure do, nice job :)
Love the new look, Tanster. I really appreciate all the work you do on this site!
Mike, the lines separating comments should now appear in IE. Do a browser refresh and check it out! :)
There are no lines separating the comments when I use IE. If I scroll down far enough so that the 2nd and 3rd columns are off the screen, it gets a little disorienting… it’s a lot of text just floating in all that white. Anyone else have this problem?
Firefox was fine, it had the lines, but I’d prefer to stick with IE.
[from tanster: are you a CSS whiz? i need help figuring out how to fix this problem. when i turn gravatars OFF, the lines separating comments appear in IE, but when I turn gravatars ON, the lines disappear. very frustrating.]
Great job, Tanster! I’d say this is 100x better than when facebook did their revamp. :) Keep up the good work!
Got me a Gravatar!!!
Now that I figured out where the comments are, I can finally say “Well done, Fancy New Tanster!” :)
I love it! It’s so fresh… so full of life.
Love the new site!
Love it, Tanster! Clean, and easy to use. Keep up the good work! You’re the best!
Hi Tanster – Thanks for the great site redesign. I visit OfficeTally every day (multiple times!) and really appreciate all of the hard work you put into it. I can imagine that running this site is a huge suck on your free time, and I hope everyone who visits realizes what a great service you’ve done for all Office fans.
The site looks great! I love this place.
I love it…takes some getting used to. But, still. Tanster…you do everything right. I am so thankful you put all this work into this awesome sight. We’re lucky to have you!
The new site looks great! It will take some time to get used to, but I do like it. Thanks for all you do, Tanster! ;o)
Fyi Tanster, not sure if others who use internet explorer have mentioned, but I cannot see the links that show at the right top banner in any of my internet explorer pages! Is anyone else having this problem? I only realized this issue after I saw it in firefox, but I mainly used internet explorer for everthing, so that sucks.
