    • Good morning
      I agree with you on this one, but on the other hand LT wants to ensure that people like us put something into writing!! It is not always an easy task to describe how one feels in writing. We prefer signs!! But that is a very minor issue. LT this is good move. Cheers

    • Ok Ba Jam@co, tizayamba kulemba ma feelings in words. Nipang’ono apo.Ndicosabvuta yayi.

      Good day to you and stay well including blessed.
      *****Lomba nkhani ya aba ba ‘gravator’ ati bwanji? banibvutako pango’ono I have to be honest. Why hide behind ignorance??’ we are all not Computer ‘geeks’ ka!

      Help!!!!!!!! Jam@aco….

    • I am busy writing a tutorial !! Just wait!! I will find means to post it!!

      Maybe LT can help me publish it to help the bloggers!! Please LT let me know if you can publish my tutorial. Maybe you can open a new thread just explaining on how to go about the gravator!

      I can then use the space to post mine too. it does not cost a Ngwee!!

    • Its now only 18:30hrs for me Jam@co.
      so will go to sleep sooner than later.

      On #1:2, Bravo Jam@co, you rock, go my bro!!!

    • adamBATTAGLIA Posted on whit, your pictures are ubveliebanle. sure, i’m really jealous but also REALLY JEALOUS. congrats on what seems to be a successful trip so far. can’t wait to see the show.

  1. FEEDBACK:The site is good, perfect, professional, International standard, fast and theonly problem is, it will take time for some of us to familiarise with the ‘gravator’

    I will ‘graciously’ ask Jam@co to kindly extend his lectures on how to get this right, and I mean ‘kindly’ in here.

  2. I actually like the new look. It gives the site a more professional look than the typical wordpress template that was used before.

    I especially like the new reply and character available features.

    Just one little thing I have noticed is the stories are not as easy to find as they where on the old template. But otherwise…feeling good and impressed so far.

  3. Free-Market-Capitalist ,

    Just click on the search button and the stories will be easy to find. See, easy!!!!

    How are you my friend?

  4. LT: You look nice, mwee. The only thing is that you response rate to our submissions is slow. Also, i miss the smileys. Twenze che tuja. Stories are a bit tricky to find. It was easier before. Otherwise, well done. Uleke na ma setting!! Cheerio!!

    • When L.T announced about update, I told myself that maybe they have closed the website. you know I was telling myself ati ‘Vamahala vinatha’..

      ata Mwenye sa vala shop pochita stocktake … lol

  5. is there a way of checking on the font,quite tricky fo the visually compromised,white bakground with light font iliko bad ba LT,otherwise good job done.

  6. Good morning one and all
    LT nice looking site. Takes a bit of getting used to but am sure we will get there sooner rather than later.
    Jam@aco, I see you at the top. You must be happy that the site is back. Congrats for being nambala 2

  7. hm, updates are usually good and I kinda like this one too. are you looking forward to introduce registration? i think that would great too coz you can more of deal with reckless bloggers should they disobey the rules rather than just scripting some filters which are not that effective since we all know what bad words are even if abbreviated!!
    thanx LT for you free media!!!

  8. The site has improved with the 60% of the work done so far,I hope the 40% will make the site fabulous with all the blurred vision gone.Keep up the good work!!

  9. Bloggers this Site is perfect!! Especially that one does not need to create a long list of entries and full of references to other entries!! I like the fact that you can directly REPLY to the individual you want by clicking on that person’s Entry!! This is great !!
    It is also important for people reading through the Comments to make a clean and clear follow up. That is what LT has improved!! Please keep up the good work LT and I am sure that if bloggers seriously take some time to capture the idea being this, they will enjoy it just as I am. There is more to it. Above all there is SIMPLICITY in it! Some Wonder how I keep changing Pics! Even that is very simple!!

  10. I couldn’t access the site over the weekend but when i did this morning i was impressed with the new changes however,LT needs to improve on that ”YOU ARE POSTING TOO FAST” feature,i had that message on my frist comment.

  11. Having blogged the whole day, i now have a different view of this new look LT. Its confusing, you are unable to pick out the latest comments and you are forced to keep going back just to check if someone replied to your comments. Also, its slow…very slow and messages are not lined in the first in format. The previous LT was simpler. Its not about looks. For me its about simplicity. This one just doesnt cut it for me. Actually, its even tiring!!

  12. Your new page looks better, we appreciate you mostly because you put our suggestions into consideration. Thank you for that. LT, I would love you guys to increase your layout font. Also please consider having a daily picture gallery. Its unfortunate to observe that all newspapers in Zambia are short on pictures. For instance I have been living out of Zambia for 10 yrs and yesterdays news that a Zambian players scored a hat-trick in Ivory Coast., guess what? Not one newspaper showed his image!

  13. Am a little worried about the size taken up by the Ads. I appreciate that you need Ad dollars but i think the amount of space given to Ads is an over kill…
