"I want that one"
I had a brilliant meeting today with a UK national newspaper company who are using Lotus Notes Release 5. This has been out for about 6 years so is beginning to show it's age and Lotus have done loads of work to it in later releases. So I was demonstrating the new features in the current Notes 6.5 release, Domino Web Access and Sametime integration. Every time I showed a new feature, the senior managers were looking over to the Domino Admin guy saying "I want that now". I started to feel a little sorry for the guy as I was creating him more and more work as I went on. Still, it was nice to see the look of relief on his face as I showed them what was coming in Notes/Domino 7 and when the managers predictably asked to have it now I told them that they would have to wait because it won't be released until summer.
(By the way - if you don't get the joke from the picture then check http://www.littlebritain.tv/characters_andy_lou.htm for a rather literal explanation of Andy and Lou)

Ports. How do you get the trucated 'Posts' list? Is it part of the template or have you done some magic coding?
@2 Tony - it isn't a truncated list. I just haven't written very much yet :-)
Must be the template...I seem to get half the first sentence, whilst you get a neat headline. :o|
@4 Tony - I have looked into this and am totally baffled by your truncation problem. I tried applying your .sidebar-title CSS stuff to my Web Log and it changed the look but didn't change do the truncating (as you would expect). However, the list of items is just being retrieved using $BlogPreviousItemTitle$ (I presume) so I cannot see where the truncation is taking place. Odd.
