Design Switcheroo?
I can feel a redesign of this blog coming on. What do you guys think of the MiniBlog? It is good to have the links separated or should everything be mixed together? I was also thinking that if I did mix short and long posts together I could take advantage of MoveableType's "more..." link like Andrew does quite often. That would keep large posts off the index page to reduce clutter but it would also make the blog harder to read because you wouldn't be able to read all of the text from top to bottom .... hmmmmm, what do you guys think?

personally I don't like the "more" feature at all... I find that I always have to click "once more" just to read the rest of the thought, and that usually just annoyes me. just my opinion. ;-) » Posted by: Jim at December 12, 2003 06:58 AMYeah, that's what I was thinking too. On the other hand, little brief posts can sometimes get lost in longer posts. Personally, I'm leaning away from "more...". » Posted by: Ryan at December 12, 2003 08:12 AMI like your mini blog! I try to use the more stuff for just that... extensions to my thoughts. Sometimes I over state my position to avoid comments like "yea, well what about ..." - so this sheeat goes in the more. » Posted by: aforward at December 12, 2003 09:58 AMHeh, I had to read that like six times to understand it. :) » Posted by: Ryan at December 12, 2003 09:59 AMI still don't understand :) » Posted by: Travis at December 12, 2003 11:56 AMlets try again :-) I use the "more" section of a blog sparringly - for the exact reasons as noted above by Jim. [For example, if this were a blog, then the above would be in the main section - and following would be in the more part - and this section would not exist]
I've gone cross-eyed! » Posted by: aforward at December 12, 2003 12:26 PMOK, blog stays as-is for now. I made some small UI tweaks. » Posted by: Ryan at December 16, 2003 03:45 AM |
