Brraaakoom! A whole mess of updates, redesigns and tweaked features!
This list is gonna be a lot to get through, but here goes!
Removed the HEADER!!??
This is going to strike a lot of you as very strange, but I’m going for it.
I just don’t think branding is very important! Getting to the content quickly matters more, so I’m removing the giant TRADE READING ORDER banner and everything else in the header. The top of the page is now the navigation bar.
This goes against a lot of web design currently in practice, but with so many people finding this site through google results, stumbleupon, and other social media, getting to the content as quickly as possible without a jumble of unrelated text up top – well, that matters! I’m going to try to keep the site identifiable, but in ways that don’t take up that much space.
It’s funny that without a big old banner up top, it feels like a site isn’t really done – but I’ll get over it.
I moved the Search and the Weekly Giveaways from the header to the right sidebar.
There’s at least 40 other changes, minor and major. Click here for the full list!
