Service announcement: Minor Facebook / Twitter-related tweaks to Slugger

At the top of this post, there’s a lovely new ‘Facebook Like’ button and a ‘Tweetmeme’ link on the left. These are designed to help you flag up anything you read and like to your followers as well as giving our contributors a bit of feedback. These things only work, of course, if you’re on Facebook / Twitter.

Looking at the poor quality of spelling and punctuation in the comments thread, we know that you are all crying out for a reinstatement of the ‘preview’ option for commenters 😉

Apologies for the delay – we’ve got a great one in mind, but it conflicts with our theme at the moment and we’ll need to get that all sorted before we can activate it.

Let us know (in the comments, below) if either of these new buttons mess with your browser in any way. They shouldn’t – I’ve used them on lots of other sites without a hitch.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
