Reader Poll - A Little Help Here?
Submitted by Chris on Wednesday, 09/12/073 Comments
ckwebb.com recently underwent a redesign, and I’m still tweaking it a bit. Although most of you read ckwebb.com via the RSS feed, many do click through. So some of questions for you, dear readers:
- On the main page I currently have excerpts from the 10 most recent posts. Do you prefer the full text on the main page, just want to click through to posts that interest you?
- What’s missing on ckwebb.com? Why do you read? How can I make this space a real resource for like-minded readers?
- And finally, can anyone tell me why the hell this site still isn’t listed in Google’s index?
I don’t like the loss of formatting in excerpts. I can’t always tell where your text ends and quoted text begins, for example. Most of your entries are short enough that excerpts are unnecessary. (In a few cases, I’ve used ‘keep reading’ and found only a few additional words on the next page.) I recommend you use WP’s –more– function if you feel an entry is too long. I want to get it all on the main page. Thanks for asking. peace, mjh
The google blackout is interesting — and complete. I added ‘ckwebb.com’ at http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl . (Presumptuous, I know.) And I’ll link to you — that should change things overnight.
Thanks Mark. I’ve updated the main page to show the full content of the last 5 posts.
