See the 2009-10-28 changelog. Site name went to 50 characters and site title and tagline to 200 characters.

Cool :-)
Yeah, so this bug… is it hard to fix?
I wrote that because I wasn't sure if anybody had noticed this report… not because I was being a "fix my problem now" brat.

This wish appears to have been implemented as I have just managed to change the site name to Lord Lieutenant of Ross and Cromarty which is 36 characters. Thanks to all the team for this. I'm not sure what the new limit is but personally I am very grateful for the increase as Google, Bing etc will index the site properly before too long. I'll have to finish the development now!

You might find some insight into why I don't think Google Wave is going to be so widely used here. It's interesting as a technical demo but fails to expose patterns that help people organize properly. That is my opinion today, in any case.

It's been fixed and is in testing, I assume it'll get pushed this weekend.

Well, all web browsers have inbuilt security which prevents a webpage from controlling a different webpage in your browser.
If you create code on Wikidot.com, then you can use it to control Wikidot.com. However, if you create code on Google.com, you will not be able to control Wikidot.com with it. Google code can only control the Google website. Wikidot code can only control the Wikidot website.
So the HTML module will put your code on a different website so that it can't control Wikidot.com. Does this make more sense now?

I looked into this but I don't know how easy this'll be on wikidot.
Thanks for changing the link… As you could probably tell: I was annoyed :)
Update: I only briefly read that article you mentioned but I think one needs to be able to edit the actual html because I tried the if statements: http://www.havemycv.com/test:me and now both FF and IE cannot open the menus.

OH, and do you use Firefox when you're setting up Adsense via wikidot, david?
Whenever I got to the adsense control panel using firefox, it continues loading forever. If I open it up on Chrome, it loads in an instant and I can change my settings, etc.

Well, I've put a skyscraper-size text banner on the sidebar of my site: http://cyclods.wikidot.com
I've got it set to only appear for anonymous users. To be honest, I'd prefer to show it for everyone except site members, but can't seem to do that :/

Yes, I watched the whole video a few months ago :) Very, very long… seemed exciting at the time.
Having had a developer's preview ever since then, it's worn off a bit. It's exciting at first, but I can't honestly see it being as ground-breaking as I originally thought it would be.

I opted to go with a 250x250 image only ad in my sidebar, and it was a decent performer. But at the end of the day you kind of just have to experiment and see what works best on your site. I went a Looooooong time and a lot of impressions before I got my first click. As I tweaked it more and more trying different things, I improved.
As to text ads, there are multiple theories about what gets the most clicks. One theory is blend — use a color scheme that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, but meshes with your site design. Another theory is contrast — make them stick out and catch the eye. Inbetween is to make the ads complement the site — where it stands out from the rest of your content but doesn't really slap the user with contrast. Finally, people who deal with a lot of ad blindness like to regularly alter ad layout and format.
I blended on WiiHD, but I never really gave complement a fair shot. Most of my experimenting early on was moving the ads around to get the best placement — something intended to strike a balance between earnings and maintaining a pleasant appearance.
So pick something that works with your site, track it's progress for a few weeks, then tweak it and see if the tweak helps or hurts. Good luck.

What do you mean? How is that so?

Not if it is iframed on a different domain. That is what the planned HTML block will do.

Yes, because of the bug I reported yesterday. Using the /local--code/pagename/# syntax is foolproof (unaffected by the bug).

Wouldn't allowing HTML be a security risk?

Cool, thanks for the explanation. And you generally find the /local—code/admin:themes/# syntax to be more reliable, right?

Have you heard about this or perhaps are already participating?
It's currently in limited preview. I watched the "loooooooong video" (1:20) last night and it is quite impressive! My son-in-law got an invite from a friend of a friend of his brother's and has been playing with it for a little while. I have a feeling Google has another huge hit on their hands with this one.
Once this goes live, it'll be interesting to see how we might use this with Wikidot. If you can make the time, I highly recommend watching the video.

So now I have to have it activate by simply hovering http://www.havemycv.com/ :(
Bummer. I just peeked at your site (after fixing your link - you had www/havemycv instead of www.havemycv) and have to say I think the expanding and collapsing by hovering is annoying.
Maybe you can punish just the IE users by using some browser-specific coding tricks and putting your old code back for the rest of us. I haven't done much of this, but this site has a good article about one of the techniques:

Two different syntaxes, two identical results:
- /local--code/admin:themes/#
- /admin:themes/code/#
The # represents the number of the code block that your referring to (i.e. multiple code blocks on the same page).
On the /local--code/ version, if you neglect /#, then it is assumed to be code block 1, and the CSS file's title becomes the page name.
