I posted the code in, but it stripped out the HTML style tags and just left the style code as text at the top. So I don’t know why that happened. We’re still doing the contest, right?
@ Berselius:
I wonder if that’s because I only have author privileges or something. Like how admins can post in the real Twitter box and the rest of us get the quote box.
<style type=”text/css”>
#reminder {
background: #BECDC6;
padding: 6px;
font-size: 12px;
margin: 0px 12px 8px 12px;
}
</style>

@ josh:
I think I can make the necessary changes tonight. I’m pretty sure you just have to add the tags you want people to be able to add to a certain file.
I’m kind of limited in what I can do at the moment so I was hoping someone could tell me what html tags are being stripped from the twitter embeds in the comment?
Cubs lose 3-2 today. Travis Wood pitched well enough to win, but it was not good enough as he takes the loss giving up 3 runs in 7 innings— WorldSeriesDreaming (@Anno_Catuli_WSD) August 22, 2012

@ josh:
Yeah, the script is one of the tags we definitely don’t want to enable for all users and there’s not a way to enable certain tags for specific user levels. I see no reason we can’t enable the style tag though.
Turns out the Cubs have been pretty average in that department over the whole season, but Brett and Josh were only called up recently. That changes everything.
Hey mb, is it possible to post all the submissions (anonymously of course), or at least the top 20 so we can get a look at the various attempts? There might be a diamond in the rough or two.

The deadline was over the weekend, so it’s over now. In the future you need to paste raw html code in the html tab in the editor

Speaking of which we’ve selected the finalists, and should be revealing the results soon.

But he’s just a little guy! I don’t think he can stand to lose a quart.

Were you able to do it before? We are done with it right now, but I’m still curious if the author level can add such code.

Keith just said the Cubs have 36Ks for the series. Wow. Does it seem like they’re just getting worse, or is that my imagination?

Will the Cubs lose 105 games?

Just write the text of the tags without including the carrots. Like div tag or blockquote tag.

Took out the script and the class. The script is probably a call to the css or something that makes it look all twittery.

too lazy to look it up, but does anybody know how many times they’ve been swept this year?

As far as I can remember, they’ve been swept in every series.
This team really could break the record. They’re not good. They’re really not good.

@ Suburban kid:
good thing WSD just posted, because I wasn’t even really paying attention to the tweet; I just grabbed the first one.

Cubs struck out 12 times yesterday and 13 times today. Cubs hitters suck at the level of just putting the bat on the baseball.

At what point do central division pitchers’ stats become unreliable due to facing the Iowa Cubs so often?
