Welcome to the Final Edition of the Visual Guide to DK4.
You can read previous editions here:
You can read PART I here
You can read PART II here
You can read PART III here
You can read PART IV here
You can read PART V here
Lessons learned in PARTs I to V: A lot! For me it was that there is a great diverse community here, and some of us are more willing than other to accept change - but most of us are still willing to try something new and possibly scary.
Onward, Kossacks, for a review and thoughts on the future...
Pysch!
We really covered most of what you'll need to navigate your way through the new version of our favorite online Clubhouse in a day or so in the five diaries that proceed this one.
UPDATE Joan McCarter has another Visual Guide to DK4 up right now. If you would like another take on First Steps on the new Daily Kos starting this weekend... click here to see Getting Started at Daily Kos 4.0
Q: What are the differences between DK3 and DK4?
A: There are new features that will enhance community and action for those who want to use them. Those who don't can continue on almost exactly as they do on DK3 - but the Recent Diaries List (unfiltered) is now ONE CLICK away, instead of a scroll down the Front Page.
Q: How hard is it to write diaries on the new version?
A: Can you login? Can you see your UID in the pretty box on the Front Page, on the right side? See that "new diary" link in the box? Click it. It is that easy.
Q: Will the new GROUPs thing turn Daily Kos into a more fragmented, popularity contest?
A: No. GROUPs just make co-authoring diaries, and running LIVE BLOGs and organizing to branch out into real world activism all easier. Most of the GROUPS action will be invisible to those who eschew using GROUPS.
Q: What about privacy, I have a lot of concern about my personal information being given away or worse, sold, to someone?
A: The information which is more easily identifable on the new version is, in most cases already available on the current platform. If you have privacy concerns - you should peruse your PROFILE information and delete anything which you feel may put your privacy at risk. Otherwise, user data is being treated by the site in the same manner as it has.
This means only what YOU input into your profile, what YOU input into diaries and comments which YOU write offer up any information about you.
The new version allows you to give the site personal data (your real name, location, etc.), but you are not required to give any of this in order to participate on Daily Kos --- and even if you do allow the Site Admins access to this data, you can choose to make it HIDDEN from any public view and accessible ONLY to the Site Admins.
Q: If there are no more pictures and instructions on DK4, what is this diary for?
A: It's my very last Daily Kos 3.0 diary. I wanted it to be special. I also like practical jokes and puns, in general. So my last diary on this platform is a form of a practical joke...
Because the balance of the diary is also my last Daily Kos 3.0 Sig Line Diary.
This data has been collected over the past year. You may or may not find your own UID and SigLine here. I used no particular criteria when choosing the examples you'll find here.
Some will find themselves listed twice, in each case, the SigLine changed.
One person is listed three times. I thought the value of the SigLines for this one person warranted inclusion.
I hope the Visual Guides to DK4 will help users in their experiences on the new format, starting Saturday or Sunday (whenever they get the site back up after the conversion).
I've had a great time writing these guides and interacting with a portion of the community whilst doing so.
I look forward to seeing all of you on the other side of the Looking Glass.
And I'll offer up an especial hat-tip to ericlewis0, the artist who pens the exclusive-to-Daily-Kos political cartoon Animal Nuz. Seeing Eric's cartoon here and wondering why such a talented artist wasn't being seen by more people, I commented to him that he should look into getting on Daryl Cagle's Index of Political Cartoonists.
The conversations that ensued following that comment enervated me, in a way I can't describe. But what I do know, is that just getting involved in something outside the pages of DailyKos, even in the limited manner which has so far happened did something to me.
It opened my eyes to the possibilities of real world interactions with my fellow Kossacks.
And that happened, right about the time the DKBeta site was opened up to the DK3 population in general.
Perhaps that is what gave me the impetus to create the DK4Beta Group "Citizen Lobbyist-USA", which I will be re-creating on Sunday.
Markos has stated that at least part of what drove the new format on Daily Kos was his desire to offer up users the ability to do more than just interact on the Internet - but to enhance the use of the site in more real world applications.
I for one am excited to start turning ideas into action, and hope that more of you than not will (at least eventually) feel the same way.
So, "Thank You" to all who read the series (or any of it).
"Thank You" to every Kossack who has decided to make the leap into the Undiscovered Country and come back fired-up and ready to roll into the 2012 election cycle with the great new tools that Daily Kos will be offering up starting this weekend.
Now, the final SigLine Diary of Daily Kos 3.0 :
[note: there are exactly 400 entries, it doesn't reflect anything, I just stopped there. they are in alphabetic order]
