CSBlogs : Expanded Panel Post Display. No longer a compromise.

Please ignore this previous post and please forget it if you happened to have already read it.  In it I mentioned that the abbreviated post display I put online using the CS ExpandedPanel control was a compromise and not what I was going for nor what I liked in the end, but it was an attempt to gain a bit of UI efficiency so I went with it.  After an honest email from a buddy confirming my less-than-enthusiastic opinion of the changes, I tried again at making the Andy Smith MetaBuilder ExpandingPanel work with Firefox.  Success!!!  Laa-laa-laa-laa!  It now works JUST the way we like it...or at least the way I like it.  Clicking on the post summary not only displays the full post, but the summary is hidden when the full post is displayed.

Wow, Dave, good work. After having read all your posts about customizing CSBlogs the last couple of weeks, I think I really have to update my site too.

Tim, I'm honored, as always.  Thanks!  Thomas, great hearing from you.  I've been checking your feed and eager for news on what you've been up to.  Yes, the spirit of dotText is still in CS and the more I work with it the more I'm convinced that I made the right decision.  There's a lot of new technology behind the CS scenes that's quite interesting.
