We've been averaging nearly 100 page views daily, so thank you to all of you for your support! We've also become nearly the 4 millionth website in the world, and we hope to continue to grow. So far, our popularity has been based on about 10 articles we've had posted for a while now. We've now begun drastic improvements to make new content highly accessible and navigable
Article Category Headers
Every category of articles is getting its own header and image so that you always know where you are on the website. "All Articles" is also its own category. Every time you choose a new article category under the Articles tab, the header updates you to let you know where you've gone.
Persistent Sidebar
The sidebar is going to look fairly consistent across most major sections of the website. This should help alleviate the feeling of being anchored to the home page. The social website links, latest videos and email submission are examples of what you're always going to have available in the sidebar.
Accessibility
With better organization and categorization comes easier updates. You're going to have the ability to bookmark a URL for all new content articles, and a separate URL for blog entries like this. RSS feed buttons shall also be simpler and organized.
Older Article URLs
If you've been linking to older articles on the site, you may wish to note that the site now uses a slightly different URL. Copies of the articles will probably also remain at the older URLs for some time, but the site's new navigation tabs now take you to newer copies of the articles. This was necessary in order to have a persistent sidebar.
We're in the process right now of bring you this and more, while tweaking the finer details. We greatly appreciate any feedback you have about how the changes are going. We'd also love to hear from you about any suggestions or general complaints you have.
Thank you so much!
