1. open https://blog.torproject.org/blog/feed , a feed URL provided by the page https://blog.torproject.org/ in any web browser (Tested: Firefox with different modifications, Epiphany)
What happens:
Loading the page fails with too many redirections.
The server sends a "301 Moved Permanently" status to the same URL (https://blog.torproject.org/blog/feed) until the browser aborts loading the page because of too many redirects.
What should happen:
Do not redirect recursively. You might want to redirect to https://blog.torproject.org/rss.xml.HiroHirohttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/22625New blog events default to today2020-06-27T14:30:05ZRoger DingledineNew blog events default to todayWhen you make a new event on the blog, you can set the Start Time and the End Time.

But when you have made the event, suddenly it's the top event on the frontpage. It turns out there's another, optional, time you can set, called "Calendar date", and if you don't set it, it fills in today.
We should make it fill in the same date as Start Time instead. Or make it leave the optional thing empty, and use the Start Time if Calendar date isn't filled in.
Long term goal should be having drupal copy the start date into the calendar date.HiroHirohttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/22624"See all upcoming events" shows you events in 20082020-06-27T14:30:05ZRoger Dingledine"See all upcoming events" shows you events in 2008Go to the frontpage of the blog, and then click on "see all upcoming events" on the right column.

I mean these links at the bottom:

Possible options:
* using tor colors (light theme with tor-purple and tor-green accents, dark theme with tor-purple and tor-green accents, predominantly tor-purple theme, or predominantly tor-green theme)
* adding more graphics (onions, tor logo, etc.)
* making it look like our other sites (but torproject.org is not so great that we want it to necessarily look like it, looking at metrics.torproject.org can give ideas)

There are now two intermediate roles, "authenticated user" and "blogger". I guess that was true on the old blog too, but I don't think we had anybody in the "has an account but doesn't have the blogger role" there. Somehow some of the users lost that role in the transition. Or maybe we did have that distinction, but the people without the blogger role could still blog, edit comments, etc on the old blog. I'm not sure.
I just went through and added the blogger role to most people, so it isn't an urgent issue now.
Is there a downside to merging the two roles, that is, simplifying by making everybody who has an account into a blogger?
I guess we could go the other way too, which is letting ordinary people make accounts on our blog, so they can be the same human each time they comment, and maybe even so they can bypass captchas and stuff. Is there a downside to that? :)HiroHirohttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/22426Missing `#comments` anchor on article pages2020-06-27T14:30:06ZDavid Fifielddcf@torproject.orgMissing `#comments` anchor on article pagesClicking an "_X_ comments" link from the index takes you to a URL with a `#comments` anchor at the end, for example:

https://blog.torproject.org/blog/did-fbi-pay-university-attack-tor-users#comments
then scroll down and try to figure out which comment is replying to which comment.
The hierarchy is still basically flat, and you have to count the number of vertical lines to the left of the comment to try to figure out what's going on.
I think it could be improved by indenting comments as a function of where they are in the nested hierarchy.
But that's not the only possible way.
