01. I slightly increased the font size. A combination of (a) longer posts, (b) smaller screens, and (c) my failing eyesight are making the site more difficult to read. The font size is only about 1pt bigger, but I think it makes things more readable.
02. I changed the layout from 3 columns to 2. Everything that was over in the right column has been moved to the left. The additional width will make longer posts easier to read, and allow for larger pictures to be posted. Formerly, all my pictures were 440 pixels wide. From here on out, they’ll be 700.
03. Whatever else you suggest. Yes, you. Like to see a change to robohara.com? This is the weekend to throw your change into the hat.
Get it? Change?
Bigger picture size test:
You should change the way the URL’s appear. Instead of p=4851 you can have the URL the name of the post. It is an easy setting change within WordPress. It is under settings and permalinks
Sadly I have never been able to get permalinks to work with WordPress and IIS6, which I’m running. If I ever upgrade to IIS7, I’ll give it another shot.
consider getting rid of some of the double links. you have Commodork, Retroist, Review-o-Matic.com listed twice down the right side. Maybe move the graphic versions of the links horizontal across the top and get rid of the text links. There are also subscribe buttons in multiple locations. Consider moving all the subscribe options to a drop down from the subscribe button in your banner. Lastly, I come to the site for the new content such as most recent post and your twitter feed. It would be nice to see the twitter feed moved up the left column to the top so they are on the page at fist load without scrolling.
you ask for suggestions so there’s my 2 cents.
Oh, Anonymous. I do wish I knew who you were. Can you give me a hint?
I got rid of some, but not all, of the double links. I kept the ones that were graphically represented because those get more hits than the test ones. I also moved the twitter feed up higher, just for you.
