Urban Yukon postings have been on a tear lately. I don’t have exact numbers, but we seem to be averaging at least twenty new posts per day. Our dark season likely has something to do with the prolific outpourings.
We also have a few new members. I’ll be welcoming them here shortly. Please visit and comment; both new and established bloggers appreciate — and secretly crave — feedback.
At least a couple of UY blogs have been nominated for the Canadian Blog Awards. Please vote for your favourite personal or family blogs (hint: “possessive” blogs that start with F or M). Results will be posted on December 12th.
It’s taken me a while to figure out how best to add the most requested features from the recent UY poll. In short, there will be some programming involved, but that’s fine by me. The features that I’ll tackle first will be:
- Gather together multiple recent posts by a single author so that they don’t crowd out other postings.
- Ability to view older blog postings than just those shown on the front page.
- Search that can find matches in posting contents.
- Categories for member blogs (e.g., business, techie, family, news).
- “Identicons” alongside postings to highlight the author
The first three have become ever more important, what with the growth in posting frequency of late.
I’ll be introducing the changes gradually, at a different URL so that interested folks can try them out before the changes are promoted to the “live” site. I also think that most of us appreciate the basic way that Geof organized UY, and I don’t want to mess with that successful formula.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
