We can now print from django!

First, let me tell you how awesome Noah is. Be sure to tell him you think so too next time you see him.

Why? Because he has created two new buttons on article pages that you're going to love.

Need to print a story with the notes for your portfolio? Simply look for the "print" button at the top of the article page. It will take you to another screen that shows all the changes you've made to the story file. Just send that page to the printer.

Need to pull a story from django back to Falcon for print? Try the button that says "print (no notes)" at the top of the article file. This will give you a full preview of your story, including the author field and the infobox. This also works for stories with publishing dates in the future -- now we don't have to do a fast publish and unpublish to grab copy for print. This will be especially helpful for features and opinion copy.

The "print (no notes)" button still has a little tweaking before it's complete, but for now this should be easier than pulling from the live Web site.

All of this, thanks to Noah. Let me be the first to say "Thanks Noah."

And if this message seems Greek to you, grab me Monday when I'm back in the newsroom and I'll gladly give a demonstration.
