Bright Ideas?

Okay people, does anyone have any ideas on how we might improve the blog? Let's put our heads together: What can we do to make it better?

I'll start: I want to be able to continue my longer posts on another page, like with a Read More... link. Then I could hide pictures and punch lines until you choose the link. I've done the research and when I get the time I'm going to try to make it happen...if you guys agree.

Now, the comment thread is open for your ideas; let's go!!!

i would say that it would be nice to have only the titles of the posts show on the initial page and then link to a page with the whole post and all comments after you click.

also, something that lets you know when new comments have been made would be nice. like highlighting the blog post title or something.


an invisionfree forum or something would be one option. matt, that is like what the PRD ogame forums were like, if you remember. i could put something like that together if that is what everyone wants.

There is an embedded feature called "hide" I think, that makes it so that only the blog post title displays on the main page. You have to click it to get to the actual post. That is really easy to implement...and we can just try it out for a while, too.

I agree about the comment notification. I can't complain too much 'cause I receive an email when a new comment is made - because I'm the man.

I like seeing the whole thing when I check it..but that's just me.

People need to add more pictures!

Also--check out my background from an old high school blog--we could use some of that...

I don't like the idea of just linking the title. Some of the text should appear, and maybe if it gets long you can have the option of adding a "read more" link.
