Thanks. I like the concept of your site. I'm also having trouble getting traction with writers. Several people have summarized stories but only a few return and summarize. Most of the content is created in-house. I'm looking into adding more Game features to encourage participation.
I experimented with having all the summaries on the homepage, (Headline, picture, summary, headline, picture, summary, headline, picture, summary, headline, picture, summary) Though it was more useful, it looked messy.
Each day the system sends out an email with all the summaries of the day. That allows people to read everything in one place.
I'm thinking about experimenting with an endless homepage for members. People who want to see all the articles in one place and visit the homepage and just read everything as they scroll down.
- BenoitEssiambre 14y agoYeah it's not easy getting people to create content. I hope you succeed! What I meant was to hide the summaries by default but have a button or 'more...' link that reveals them inline which is quicker than navigating to another page.
- MichaelApproved 14y agoI see what you're saying but even with a summary, it's still a lot of area to slide down on the page. I have a hard time implementing that without it making the page feel cluttered.
