More Site Improvements
Paul Stamatiou, 12:55 pm, 14 Jun 2008Continuing with our series of posts highlighting new enhancements from our latest release, today I want to show some of the most obvious changes. First off, the homepage no longer just displays a simple list of suggestions. We have changed it to provide more information about recent suggestions, popular suggestions and recently blogged suggestions.
The management page also received some tweaks, notably iconifying the main action links. One of our next releases will move those icons up to a toolbar in favor of clearing up the interface.
Lastly, you might have noticed a few new options on the install page. Skribit now embraces multiple methods of interaction in addition to the widget. Since suggestions can also be given on blog profile pages, such as mine, you don’t need to use the widget if that’s not your thing. You can simply link to your profile page. However, as we have recommended with the widget, placement matters. The higher the badge, link or widget on your website, the easier it is for your readers to check out Skribit.
As Calvin talked about in the last post, you can also interact with Skribit using your account’s RSS feeds - a sort of “roll your own” approach.
Customization is cool and all, but what happened to the header image that you can see in the header of the website (above Get Started Now! button), I want that back. Also; there are still bugs in the display of the suggestions, sometimes I don’t get anything displayed and other times I only get 3 suggestions (even if I have 10).
The footer of the widget randomly changes as well. Why doesn’t that look like the screenshots in the website header either?
Other than that, it is very helpful.
