Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - New bloglist -- need feedback (& blogs)

Tinkerbell · 2007-07-17, 10:30 PM

Hey everybody,

I finished adding a bloglist to my site the other day, and was wondering if people could send me some feedback (and their blogs if they feel like it). I've never made a bloglist before, so it's been quite a bit of fun programing it.

Things I've done to make them slightly different than other blog lists. First, with the exception of new sites, the list is randomly ordered (daily), meaning that every blog has a chance of becoming the first link at the top of their respective categories... forever. I figured this would be better than ordering by incoming hits (new blogs don't have a chance and it's confusing) and ordering by date (old blogs get sent to the bottom and only get hits in the beginning). This way all blogs get a steady stream of hits over the long run.

I'm also wondering if having a custom icon/thumbnail beside your link would be something useful? I have added a similar thumbnail option on my link list which you can upload to my site when you submit a link. I figured it would help make the site look more interesting and also help your link gain more attention... in the sea of text. Is this something that would interest you?

Any other ideas you think I should add or that you would like to see?

Thanks for the feedback!
