  1. You should get rid of the newest link. It will be full of porn. Although, now, there is only one porn link. 2. Your service is difficult to communicate. (At least, I did not immediately understand its purpose.) I think you should automatically play a short, silent, unobtrusive screencast that demonstrates the unique features of your product. 3. On your front page, consider displaying only those users who have uploaded thumbnails. And you should probably pre-approve those images. Now, I'm looking at durbin licking a sharp piece of class. It is kind of freaking me out. All in all, I think you are a tasteful designer: well done. Good luck.

    Agree with only showing users who have thumbnails. This is what twitter does in its public feed, for example.

  Definitely better. I'm still not a fan of the color scheme, or of the little people-boxes, but this is cleaner and more concise.

  You need to change copyright year from 2008 to 2009.
  • alain94040 18y ago
    Wrong advice. Copyright date should use the date of the oldest material, not the newest. Why? The purpose of putting a date on copyrighted material is to help you know when the copyright will expire (althought it's not in your lifetime :-). If you have material that you created in 2008, but put a (c) 2009 on that page, technically you are trying to cheat and extend your copyright protection by a year. I know, for web pages it doesn't make any sense, but you might as well know what the right thing to do (TRTTD) is.

      Does that apply to the individual document page, or to the whole site? That is, if I have one static page that's from 2008, and the rest of the pages are from 2009, can I only say (c) 2008 on the one page? I ask because it always feels to me, when I see "(c) 2001" or something similar, that a site is rotting on the vine.

  Why is there a "feedback" box sitting on the left-most edge of the page, away from everything else, and on every page? I've seen this trend on several sites now, and I hate it. This anomalous object is always floating on the left, killing the symmetry of the site, no way to get rid of it. Maybe I'm just neurotic or something but I find it really distracting. Can't you put the form down the bottom (or up the top, if you're really desperate), in line with everything else? It would look much more balanced IMO.

  Your old design looked fine to me. I didnt notice "nine separate colors" until it was mentioned in the article. For me it looked like 3 sections showing 'What', 'How' and a 'Quick overview'. The whole 'snip it' concept was clear from the front page image itself.
