We’re live, finally!
So I finally got this into a somewhat acceptable state. From now on, all Spoiler Warning-related content will be posted here, as well as on Patreon and Youtube and so on. RSS feeds should be working, although I haven’t personally tested them because I don’t know how RSS feeds actually work and have never used them. So feedback on those would be appreciated.
Comments should also be fully functional although I haven’t messed around with the spam filter yet. Please don’t be a dick.
I’m also not completely happy with the way the theme looks, so you may see me tweaking it a bit. That said, I’d love feedback on it as is, and on anything else that’s bothering you guys.
Welcome to the site!

The RSS feed seems to be working fine.
One small nitpick about the site design– the that you type in the comment box appears to be in italics by default, which is moderately distracting. I don’t know if it displays that way once the comment is posted, since this will be the very first comment on this site.
Yep, RSS feed looks good (and I agree about the italics!).
Just curious – how have you managed to set up a custom avatar? I see there is an option to ‘Log in’ over on the right, but couldn’t see how to set up an account specifically for Spoiler Warning Dot Net. If that’s even what one needs to do. Is it an overall WordPress thingie?
I see we’re not big on carriage returns here on Spoiler Warning Dot Net… Just testing out
to see if it’ll leave a blank line in if you hit return twice. (There should be a break after ‘out’ if so.)
D’oh! I wonder about shift+return?
Assuming this didn’t work, that would be some feedback from me – if it’s possible to tweak the WordPress settings to allow for line spaces between paragraphs, that’d be great.
It should be using https://en.gravatar.com/ same as Twenty Sided uses.
Oh cool, I see. Thanks! On an entirely different subject, I don’t see a link to the Patreon anywhere! No need to be bashful in such regard…
Oops.
Actually, one minor nitpick about the RSS feed.
The “top level” link (I don’t know the actual term for this) normally links to the website itself– IE the top level link for, say, a blog would take you to the home page. For this site, it links to the page for the RSS feed.
It’s not really all that big a deal, since I rarely need to visit the homepage, but if it’s something that’s easy to figure and fix, then…
Hm, I’m noticing one more nitpick: the comments seem to strip out any extra line breaks, which means that you can’t separate paragraphs with an extra blank line for readability.
For instance, I put an extra line break in between this paragraph and the previous one when I was writing it, but it isn’t displaying that way.
I’ll see what I can do about this. Since this isn’t a custom theme, I’m not sure how much control I have over things like the italic comment box, but we’ll see.
RSS looks mostly alright in Thunderbird, certainly functional enough for all my purposes.
Weee, WordPress configuration!
Are you planning on adding Spodcast 1&2 to this site? I didn’t know where to find audio files for those two so while I looked at the first on YouTube, I didn’t bother with the second.
If there’s interest, yeah I’ll post them here.
Please do – it would help with my mobile podcast feed.
Yet Another RSS Related Wish:
A spodcast-only feed, to keep non-spodcast entries out of my PA-list.
Huh, kinda amazing this domain name was even available on reflection.
Congratulations! So glad to see the site existing and stuff.
Is there going to be an index page of the older Spoiler Warning seasons?
