You’ve probably noticed a bit of a redesign around the website in the last week or so. Certainly nothing enormous from an aesthetic standpoint, but a lot of little changes that should make your interaction with the site itself go a lot smoother.
Many of the changes are of the navigational variety, particularly in the area of tags, and even more particularly in the building of a better functioning and more prominent tag cloud.
But that’s something that has probably already made itself apparent to you in your navigation of the site.
One feature we wanted specifically to bring to your attention is the new updated “most popular” function, another way of interacting with our news page (and our blogs page, etc.).
We’ve added a link to the yellow navigation bar at the top of the Web Hosting News page, (as well as at the top of this page, if you want something to compare it to) and you can use that to navigate to a display of the most popular news stories from the past week, the past month and the past year. You can navigate to an expanded look at each of those boxes as well.
Just to make things really clear, I’ve made a graphic showing the link. You can find it from within any news story, or from on the main WHIR news page.
the yellow and black panel shown in the image is the nav bar found at the top of the news stories, and the red circle indicates, well, it should be very obvious at this point what the red circle indicates (link to most popular news stories page).
I promise I’m not being condescending. I just want to make it really clear what I’m talking about. We’re friends, right?
Anyway, I hope you’ll find the new “most popular” function to be useful. It’s already been a big help to me in interpreting how people are using the site.
I hope you’re finding all the other new features just as useful too.
