The engineers among us have been staring at the left of the three columns on the blog, and wondering if that is the best amount of whitespace to use, while smushing all the content into the middle column.
See e.g.
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-0306-released-new-series-stable
and scroll down a bit. Notice how you're now reading a narrow column of text, with plentiful whitespace on either side of it.
Maybe whoever designed this layout had a big screen resolution, and it worked better there.
I have no clue how this looks on mobile, but ... ok, actually I went to go check, and on ios safari it just shows me the middle column, and it pretends those left and right columns aren't there. Lucky mobile users. :)
I am adding the ux-team keyword in hopes that they can help us move forward. I know that "hey user experience people, can you help with layout, that's the same thing right" must drive you crazy, and I apologize in advance, but you're still our best hope here. :)Antonelaantonela@torproject.orgAntonelaantonela@torproject.orghttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/22390I can't edit an existing blog post unless I'm its author2020-06-27T14:30:07ZRoger DingledineI can't edit an existing blog post unless I'm its authorI've logged in, and I'm at

How do I edit this blog post?
There is a button on the top right that says "Edit", but when I click it, nothing happens (maybe it works in Chrome but not in Firefox? Or maybe it just doesn't work?). In any case, that same button is there when I'm on the front page (https://blog.torproject.org/) so I'm guessing it is not actually the way to edit a blog post.HiroHirohttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/22389No way to save a draft blog post without publishing it?2020-06-27T14:30:07ZRoger DingledineNo way to save a draft blog post without publishing it?https://blog.torproject.org/node/add/article

That seems like a useful feature to resurrect.HiroHirohttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/22388Put a favicon in place2020-06-30T09:19:37ZRoger DingledinePut a favicon in placeThe blog tab in my browser now has the little angry blue drupal guy as its icon.

In particular, by this script:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/jenkins/tools.git/tree/slaves/linux/website-build-blog-snippets/make-recent-posts
which looks like it loads this page from the blog:
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/feed
and that page seems to return 404 currently.
So we should either find out where that blog feed page is now, and change the link, or make one and make it available.HiroHirohttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/blog/-/issues/22385Migrate new blog posts from old blog to new blog2020-06-27T14:30:08ZRoger DingledineMigrate new blog posts from old blog to new bloghttps://blog.torproject.org/blog/state-internet-censorship-indonesia

There is a comment title field, but in the old blog there were no comment titles, so now there's just a confusing repetition of the first couple words of the comment, in caps, at the beginning of each comment.
