Blog Appearance

Don’t necessarily need a new theme, but definitely a few more widgets.

I’ve been thinking for a while that with 320+ published posts, it’s getting a little difficult for readers to find what they might be interested in or read, for example, Avatar Remaindered sequentially … I see evidence of that frustration in the stats. For myself it’s the frustration in locating posts that I might’ve originally decided to amplify.

So, two things I need to do. One, is to re-jig the number of Categories. I haven’t decided yet what will be more efficient, an increase or a decrease. Second is to install the widgets that will give us a better reading and finding experience.

I can’t believe I don’t even have a Search Bar yet when I use it frequently on other people’s sites.

Clouds of Categories seem to work best on sites that specialize in a particular topic, and have relatively few categories. Although I enjoy using them, I will probably give that function a miss. Although just having seen one on the Locus Magazine’s site I may give it a go.

Comments on these matters are welcome.

  1. I often see another blogger’s page and I really like the design… but when I look for it, I can’t find it… and upon contacting WP support, am simply told “Sorry, that template has been sunset.” But apparently users who were already using it when it was dumped are grandfathered in.

    IDK… the design choices today seem more about style than functionality. Agree that it would be nice if there were more templates to choose that provided better content management.
