• Final AskWoody format is shaking out

    Posted on November 29, 2017 at 08:23 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    You may have noticed the re-emergence of two long-missed “widgets” on the right side of this page. Several of you have written. Yes, this means the site is getting well again. (We haven’t seen any DoS style bombardments recently.) No, it’s not the final arrangement.

    As @PKCano noted to me privately, we’re really looking for something like this:

    • Login box
    • Welcome, shortcut to most-used links
    • Support AskWoody
    • Lounge list and links
    • Highly Recommended (I hand-pick Amazon ads)
    • Search
    • Ad from advertising broker
    • Recent Replies (20 with User name and time)
    • Recent Topics (20 with User name and time)
    • Shop Related products (auto generated ads)
    • Recent blog posts
    • Offiste links
    • Calendar
    • Ad for Win10 All-In-One for Dummies
    • Detailed Forum list

    It’ll take some time, but we’ll get there.

    I’m posting this in case you have recommendations. I’d sure like to hear about them, in the comments.

    For those of you who have asked… our advertising income took a serious hit these past few months, with the site bobbing up and down. The Lounge has been going for about nine months and, overall, we’re just breaking even financially. If you can help support the site it’ll be greatly appreciated.

    If you have workable ideas for a more sustainable site, I’d love to hear about it. Best idea I’ve heard is to tie it to an email newsletter, but there are all sorts of problems with that approach, given the interactive (and open, anonymous-friendly!) nature of what I’m doing.
