It took me a while (more than a few seconds, in which case a regular user would be gone by then) to figure out that I'm supposed to click on the right balloon, which is identical to the left balloon. I think you should add more contrast to

It seems to apply not only to django-nonrel, but also to their other (equally awesome) projects like django-mediagenerator, django-filetransfers and django-autoload. These guys contributed so much to the django ecosystem, it's very sad to s

Another thing to keep in mind is the use case for RailsAdmin - it is pretty much an automatic backend, that you’re not supposed to modify a lot. In its spirit it’s very close to what Django’s admin backend is." I can only reason that the au

Bootstrap is awesome. I've built 3 prototypes based on Bootstrap and it is such a leap forward if you are not design inclined. Here's a list of sites built with it: http://builtwithbootstrap.tumblr.com/

Literally a guess. I've worked with very few sites that target older consumers, so my data points are limited, but in one of these the bounce rate dropped by more than 20% (home decor industry). Unlike more recent experimentations, I did no

One little known tip that I've been using for years to reduce bounce rates is to increase the text size by a few pixels. I've successfully reduced the bounce rates on a few sites with that hack alone. On others it made little difference. I

Agree. I'm not a big fan of Calacanis but he did provide the most interesting arguments (and color) when he was a regular (even when he was far off the mark). Especially when Dvorak was around too. Much better than the current ensemble of "

That is something we have in common then. the original spelling of my family's name is "Lannerdahl" but it was "corrected" to "Landerdahl" (these "corrections" were also very common to immigrants' names.) Btw, what do you mean by over-zealo
