FYI I’ve noticed a bug in the Prologue Theme that we use here at Talk Islam: normally, when you create a post, the title for the post is auto-generated by taking the first few words of the post text. The post title is not shown, however, except on the Recent Comment sidebar widget. The bug occurs when your first few words are also a link, in which case the title gets left blank, and then on the Comments widget you see something like:
14 comment(s) on … - most recent by Willow
instead of
14 comment(s) on Late-nite funny story: a couple of Sunda … - most recent by Willow
I’ve been going in and adding titles manually to posts where this happens. My recommendation is to try and avoid having your post start with a link for now, I am filing the bug report and hopefully we will get a patch soon. Anyone with a flair for PHP is welcome to download the source and see if you can figure out a fix.

salaam all - some minor notes of interest:
- the rotating books widget has been changed to reflect bestsellers in Islamic theology from Amazon, not just bestsellers in Islam, the latter being overly polluted by jafis. Islamophobia seems to sell.
- if you scroll down, you will see a new section for latest user diaries (ie, sub-blogs of the form name.talkislam.info). As yet we don’t have many diaries on the site, so I would like to request that anyone who is willing to give this feature a try please let me know. We need more user diaries for testing some of the site features.
- What are your thoughts on retiring the Carnival of Brass entirely? It seems that Talk Islam has made the Carnival redundant - both the blogs and media variants. Your thoughts much appreciated.

by popular demand, we now have a cool search box up at the top. It should give you the search results in a nifty dynamic scrolling section rather than taking you to a new page, but for some reason this doesn’t always happen. As always, leave comments/suggestions/problems that need addressing in comments.

We need a simple, clean logo for the site. Any ideas?

Just a reminder - any user, registered and non-registered alike, can “tag” a post. Please do use that feature and tag as actively as you can. Thanks!
Open thread for site suggestions/complaints etc…

TalkIslam is now a true Folksonomy - I have added the WP_Folksonomy plugin which lets any user add tags to posts. This is a good thing.

admin note: I’ve added identicon support so anyone who hasn’t signed up for a gravatar will get an auto-generated geometric avatar instead.

inshallah this next iteration of Talk Islam will have a little more longevity. It certainly has more ambition!
