I’ve enjoyed keeping my blog up to date and posting snippets of what I’ve been up to photographically, but for a while I’ve been wanting the blog to be more interactive and to allow and encourage feedback or comments on the images and work I’m posting. So, with that in mind I give you the all new blog with full interactivity. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think; is it too cluttered? Can you navigate easily? Is it intuitive and can you use the features easily?
I can take criticism on the chin so let me know what you think about this new venture and also of there’s anything specific you’d like to see featured. Regular visitors can subscribe or register and get a username so that I know who’s left comments but you can always comment anonymously without logging in.
If the new blog seems to be successful, I think I’ll go back and plug in some of the old blog posts and enter them as if they’d been done on that day. I think it would make more sense doing that and would allow some archived material to be available for perusal as there’s not really an easy way of linking back to the old style blog.
Jannine.Hi
I really think the new blog is great. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future. I will be visiting it shortly.
Steve WoodI like it, John. I haven’t decided the best way to read it yet – to click on individual days or click on a month at a time and read up from the bottom. I would like to see some older stuff in case I have missed something :o)
Steve WoodJohn, something I have just noticed. I am not sure about the ‘Home’ link taking you to the blog home page. I think people who find your blog may expect ‘Home’ to take them to johngardnerphotography.com and may not notice the tiny entry under ‘Links’. It confused me for a minute but then again, I’m old :o(
JohnI know what you mean Steve, but that HOME button comes into play if you, for instance, select an individual post or a month’s blog. Pressing HOME gets you back to the main blog menu. I’ll look into putting a link at the top that gets one back to the main site in addition to the sidebar link.
JohnOlder stuff gradually being plugged in BTW
JamesLooking good John!
Like it a lot
