Customization questions for Dipity
I'm a journalism student and am quite interested in Dipity. Quite neat so far. I am currently creating a timeline that is the history of one company (a car making plant: http://www.dipity.com/kweise/NUMMI) and have a few questions:
1) My events fall into a few categories (products, labor, plant improvement, production), etc. Is there any way to give those different categories different colors? Or put them on overlapping timelines?
2) Have you added bars that span time to show a duration for events?
3) What is the best way to prioritize events to make the most important events the most prominent?
Many thanks,
Karen

Inappropriate?Hi Karen,
Thanks for the feedback and we're glad you like Dipity!
Now, on to your questions:
1) Right now we don't offer 'labels' or 'colors' for different feed types. This is something we hope to add in the future. What you can do is set each category up as it's own timeline. Once you've done that you can create a new timeline and then use the 'Add Sources' button to link in the individual timelines you created in to the larger 'uber' timeline. This will also allow you to toggle on / off these different views within the master timeline so you can more easily sort through all the data.
2) We currently support duration for events but haven't get figured out teh best way to display it in the interface. Look for this in the coming months.
3) Right now the best way is to use the 'thumbs up' and 'thumbs down' to vote up or down events you want to have more / less prominence.
- Thanks, Derek
