Thanks, that's a *lot* more legible (I do feel strongly
about it). What other ways are people asking for?

Yeah, that's pretty slick. It occurs to me that the same
layout should be used for the How-To's page.

Perhaps a 'short_description' property could be added to the
Product, and it would default to 'first line' only if that
property was blank.

You're welcome.

Ok, well, I've given that a try.  Some people think I should do it some
other way.  If you feel strongly about it, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It also shows the most recently edited products first, and sorting by
anything or requesting more Member products hides all Digital Creations
stuff.

More Products work is on the way in the medium-term future.

I would still really appreciate it if people would change their products
page so that the first line is a plain text summary of their product.  I
have HTML quoted everything, which makes the formatting better, but some
descriptions are still less than usefull.

Thanks for your help,

Who gets to decide which products are odd? I'm fairly sure one of mine
is odd ...

Please change the page so both the title and the description
have the same background color, but that the color is
alternated between grey and white for odd and even Products.

Thank you,

Whitespace between entries, please, and an indent of the description would
be nice.  It's still really hard to visually parse where one item begins
and the previous one ends.  Bolding and/or increasing font size of the
product titles might be helpful too.

Ok, lighter grey & less blue bars.  Also simply asking for more products will
hide the DC products, as opposed to having to sort (which still works)

I would also remove the numerous blue bars and just put them at the top
and bottom of each section... but that's just me.

Zopatistas!

I have recently changed the product page at http://www.zope.org/Products .
If you would be so kind as to change your product description so that the first
line contains a meaningful description of your product in plain text, I would
appreciate it.

Thanks,
