Interferon Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) My users almost never add blog or blog entry images when they write articles. Without background images, the default theming for these is really ugly, to the point where I am considering removing this functionality from our site. It's very obvious looking at the official IPS blog, they put a lot of time into selecting blog entry photos from a common source of stock photos with a certain consistency in the theme. That's cool, but the current design of the blog system creates a big burden to select good images that look consistent. It's more suited to an official company blog than to a site with user-generated content where people sloppily post whatever comes to mind. Any time you allow users to customize the appearance of anything, they will f*ck it up. Think about those awful custom profiles from MySpace.

Ocean West Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I agree most of the blogs are fed in by RSS feeds so there is no way to feature an image.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
