New features at TRAPPSTR.com

Posted on 22. Mar, 2010 by Brett in Etc

TRAPPSTR.com has been updated! Several new features I think you’re going to love though most are pretty basic. Here they are:

• Home page layout – Instead of showing the full post, it now just shows “stubs” from recent posts
  
• Search feature (sidebar) – If there’s an old post you like, now you can find it
• Archives (sidebar) – grouped by month
• Recent comments (sidebar) – See the last 5 people who commented on a post
• Top commenters (sidebar) – We love comments here at TRAPPSTR! Now you can see a leaderboard of most frequent commenters. Great job Rachel :)
• New contact form – Click on the contact link at top and now you can message me directly from your browser so you don’t have to go to the hassle of drafting an email
• Star rating system – At the bottom of every post, you’ll see 10 stars. If you love a post, give it 10 stars. If it sucks, give it less. Pretty simple. But it’s important because otherwise, I have no idea how the post is received.
• As always – Retweet button, email the post button, and subscribe via email buttons have been moved a bit but still there
  
• COMING SOON – Working on a slider, fixed at the top of the homepage, that shows 10 featured posts. Designed for a first time reader as a way to highlight the most popular content without having to dig through archives.

SO….I need your help!

1. What do you think of the new features? What else would you like to see?
2. What are the most memorable/significant posts? I’m trying to narrow down that list of featured content and would love your thoughts!

As always, I’m honored that you’d spend a little time here. Please let me know how I can improve. Make it a great week!
