Hey gang,
When you're using the packaging (aka article groups) function in django, remember that any piece of media you link to that package will show up on every article.
For instance, with the Taste of Missouri event that was part of the centennial, the photos were linked to the package. That meant those Taste of Missouri photos ran on every story.
IN some cases, like with the 100 years of the Missourian video, that's a good thing. In the case of the Taste of Missouri event and several other photos, it's not a good thing. Please keep that in mind when deciding whether to link a piece of media to a package.
Thanks,
jake

And this one:
Eds,
A little clarification about how sections and packages work in relation to election stories:
First, for sections:
All election stories, be them wire or Missourian-generated, should be filed under the Election section.
If it's a story about a local election, you can also file it under Local.
If it's a state race, you can also file it under State News.
If it's an opinion piece, you should only file it under the Opinion section (OP/ED, Letters, Local Columnists, etc. etc.). Filing it under elections puts it on the News page.
For packages:
We have two packages for the election: President 2008 and gubernatorial election 2008. You can link any story here that has to do with those topics, including Letters to the Editor (please make sure LETTER appears at the start of the headline so readers know what they're getting when they click on it).
If you need any further explanation, I'm always happy to talk django. Come see me.
