The suggestions and points you have made a really useful. I am really happy.
Not everything is working 100% as I'm still working on the site, I felt stuck on the layout and design. I'm changing features constantly.
I'm thinking of inserting a small description of the site in the top part of the sidebar, or in a box above the articles.
I've been suggested to add a popup such as wefollow's one http://wefollow.com/, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
Thank you for pointing out the problems about the terminology I used, I haven't thought about this and you have given a great explanation on why and what you suggest me doing.
About the "tweetmeme" and "reddit" boxes, I applied the theme colours for each one. I'm thinking of maybe only displaying theme colors when a relevant container is being hovered, although this might disrupt the user's attention.
I'll also change the text contract, and level them a better.
I'm thinking the following order of importance:
- Title
- Description
- Domain, Source
- Time ago, Poster, Options
I'm a little undecided if to consider the description more important than "domain" and "source", or the other way round.
Keep up the good work. If you ever want some more thoughts/comments or someone to bounce ideas off feel free to drop me a message at schaecher.michael at gmail
> By the way, are you suggesting me to loose the horizontal lines separating the articles?
yes, separating the articles and in the sidebar. You could consider it. I personally find a horizontal line breaks vertical reading/scanning flow, and people generally overuse the technique to separate sections where a heading in slightly larger/bolder font and a bit of white space is much more pleasant. I'm not a visual designer, just my personal preference. Up to you.
