Make better and easier to read announcements (Score:2)
I didn't see this entry in the pending stories. There was an entry for the announcement where half the text was a quote from a book that had apparently no connection to anything other than being clever. That's a stupid thing to do in an announcement, especially when many readers only show the first bits of a post. Always lead with the important bits.
The other half was a plain text bullet list of items. It's a job and a half to reformat that mess for HTML.
There are things that are more important to me then fixing the parrot announcement messes and I've given up on it. Make it easy for me to approve the announcement by taking the time to make a reasonable announcement that is already formatted for HTML.
