We've just added some 'tips' which appear just below each entry. These explain what the 'permalink' and 'Discussion' links are for. We'll be adding more helpful tips and how-tos over the next week. We're also working on making the actions for replying etc more streamlined.

We've been testing knotes in production sites for some time now, but only recently started having public blogs available to large numbers of tech-naive end users. The feedback has been extremely valuable, though much of their frustration comes from the absence of features we've long planned, but don't get time for because of site admin :o)

One of the problems users encountered was that they could not see how to reply to a blog post. We've just added some 'tips' which appear just below each entry. These explain what the 'permalink' and 'Discussion' links are for. We'll be adding more helpful tips and how-tos over the next week. We're also working on making the actions for replying etc more streamlined.

Changes are being made very rapidly at the moment - big changes to the categories and permissions system over the past two days which I must blog about sometime :o)

We hope to be in a position to confidently let strangers try to install, maintain and make good use of knotes by the end of January!
