Hi Pete!

Well we are interested in working with Semagic authors!

I think that would indeed be a great value-add to Semagic if its authors would want Zemanta included.

A comment on the discussion "August release: Crunchbase integration, LiveWriter support and improved performance" in Zemanta:

Too bad the "on-web" update plug-in for LJ isn't behaving--but I used to use Semagic all the time, anyway. I'll see if I can make the switch to Live Writer.

I know that Semagic is extensible, and I think it still has a pretty large userbase...perhaps writing a Zemanta "pane" for Semagic users is possible. [If WLW is any good, though, I may switch from Semagic]. – Pete Thomas, on September 22, 2008 13:15

john: there are no changes in PHP code of WordPress plugin. You'll get all the new stuff without needing to do anything.

mwoodwar: we are not changing behavior of WLW in any way. Images that you insert via other methods are not touched by Zemanta. And left/right setting only affects Zemanta images. You can also include multiple images by other methods, but only one via Zemanta right now.

I'm enclosing a screenshot of the different plugins I'm using Jure. Maintaining the ability to 'float' images is a deal breaker for me, especially until you can allow for multiple images. Thanks for all your work.

Will there be a new version of the WordPress plugin or were all the changes server-side?

We'll check out the alignment issues, to see if we can reproduce them here and to figure out if it's our plugin doing that. Do you have any other plugins installed? (we're also trying to figure the javascript error)

One photo per-post is limitation of this version of plugin. We're still working on a general multiple-image insertion capabilities. Expect that for our next version.

Overall I'm getting the hang of it, but there are a couple of things I'm wondering about? It seems like the usual wlw behavior of 'floating' an image is now being replaced by 'align' left or right...not the same thing. This is not in Zemata, but in wlw after the plugin was installed. If I try to post a regular wlw post, the insert/float image code is now align instead of float?

Also, I don't seem to be able to add more than one photo per post, it just replaces the first photo entered.

Well, haven't got very far, but wanted to share this error message..It looks as if it is loading ok, but I wonder about the error?

A comment on the question "Notification of comments?" in PBwiki:

They can go to their PBwiki Account and recheck the "Enable notifications" checkbox. – Rachel Pennig, on July 17, 2008 16:31

A comment on the question "Notification of comments?" in PBwiki:

I'm using 2.0. If they need to sign up again...is that sign up again to receive notifications? If so, where can I direct them to do that? Thanks!! – Stolzie, on July 17, 2008 16:22

A comment on the question "Notification of comments?" in PBwiki:

Yes- this removes the person from getting notifications. They will need to sign up again. Are you using a 1.0 or 2.0 wiki? – Rachel Pennig, on July 17, 2008 16:15

Stolzie replied on July 17, 2008 16:13 to the question "Notification of comments?" in PBwiki:

I was playing with this and went to "Settings" and clicked on "Notifications" then I said to delete a name.

Aaaah. How do I get the name back on the list? Will that person now get zero notifications???

Marc Schelske replied on July 17, 2008 04:11 to the question "Notification of comments?" in PBwiki:

Thanks for your quick reply. Neither of the work-arounds are a good fit for us. The first is a bit to techy for most of our users, and violates our keep-the-user-experience-simple rule. The second is what we used in our 1.0 Pbwiki. It was servicable, but we had quite a few technical difficulties and down-times. Se we were excited to switch over to the integrated in-line comments in 2.0.

We're very happy with it. Only two things would perfect our experience. A permission level that allows comments but no editing, and comment-only email notifications. We're looking forward to both of those things!

Thanks for the hard work.

I'm sorry to hear that the additional emails are aggravating some commenters. I will pass on your suggestion here formally in our reporting system.

Suggestions / Work-Arounds:

1. (geeky fix) Have them set to receive notifies as they are made, then have them create email filters the only allow them to see the comment notifies.

2. (better fix) Add your own inline comment system from Haloscan.com or a similar provider. That kills two birds with one stone. People using Haloscan do not need to be a member of the wiki, and receiving email notifies is an option given by a checkbox on each comment that they make. See my help page.

Thanks again for mentioning this problem.

Marc Schelske replied on July 16, 2008 17:28 to the question "Notification of comments?" in PBwiki:

I have an additional request in this area. Because people have to become members in order to comment, they are not only getting notifications for new comments, but for every page edit as well. Our admins and contributor team appreciate those notifications, but the people who are registered just so they can comment are getting overwhelmed with the emails. Even if they select to receive only one email a day, they are still getting a long email with lots of changes that they have to dig through in order to find the comments.

The new notification emails are miles better than the 1.0 version, but I think it would be very helpful to separate the notification systems. One email for edits and changes, a second email for comments. People could select which one they want - and then when you solve the problem of having to making people "writers" in order to comment (still a huge problem for us), then people who comment could get the comment email, while all regular contributors could get both.

Or some other solution you think of... bottom line, some people ONLY want to be notified for comments.

Thanks.
