Are you referring to the homepage when you are logged off? There are only three things on it... the about bubbles, activity, and a login box.
Also the blue bubbles at the top of the about page were actually designed for the homepage because we were trying to fix the "Uhh... what does Siafoo do exactly?" problem.
Maybe the bubbles should have less text and some graphic representation of what it does.
- ricree 18y agoI didn't see the page before you added the elements, so it may very well be an improvement, but it is currently distractingly busy. One suggestion would be to cut down on the text in the bubbles and move from paragraph form to something closer to bullet points. When I saw the page, the bubbles were the first thing my eyes were drawn to, so they really ought to provide a light and easy overview. Once you've sparked peoples' interest, you have all page to feed them text, but a cluttered first impression is a large turn off. Edit: As I look at the site some more, I still find that my largest problem is how cluttered everything works. In particular, articles with a large number of tags tend to really bloat up. It would probably help if they were de-emphasized or boxed up more by default. As far as the functionality goes, it seemed to be fairly good. I haven't had enough time to really dig in, but I haven't seen anything worth complaining about yet.
- stou 18y agoI agree about the about page bubbles... they do distract and their contents should probably be moved to other parts of the page... while leaving something small at the top. I also agree about the articles, etc. in general the semantic information surrounding them should be somehow de-emphasized in the browse pages
