Welcome Back, Encounter

Ok, here’s the story straight from Nancy Castles, PR Director for LAWA:

“The observation deck will re-open AFTER the stucco has been replaced, which won’t be completed until next year. Right now, one sees the steel skeletal structure of the Theme Building design. No work is expected to be done on the Observation Deck so the tall acrylic fences/walls will remain. No holes will be drilled into the fence/wall for photography. The acrylic wall was installed about 15 years ago in order to prevent people from climbing and possibly falling from the Observation Deck.”

So, it’s a bummer that there won’t be any camera holes, but it’s still better than nothing.

All excellent feedback, QRC. I was actually going to put a post up about the change so I could get everyone’s feedback. The whole reason for doing this is I absolutely love the comments I get. If there’s anything else I can do to encourage more commenting, I’m going to do it. So I thought I’d see how this would work.

1) Yes, it is confusing. This is how they set it up, but you’re allowed to change it. I’m going to hope my limited CSS skills can help me make some changes so it’s more clear.

2) Yeah, I was a bit concerned about the email thing as well. Unfortunately, I am a blog of one, and I don’t have the ability to make changes like that unless someone else has it nicely packaged. I will keep looking for other solutions, and if you see one, feel free to forward it on.

3) Again, it’s that same issue of prepackaging. This is how SezWho puts it all together. I actually like being able to thumbs down a comment, because I much prefer not to moderate very much. If someone posts a really dumb comment (which has happened from time to time), then people can vote it down.

Like I said, I will have a thread about this later today or tomorrow, so let’s pick up the conversation again over there. Thanks again for the feedback.
