Homepage Cleanup
After having a look at the main page of the site and the relevant site overlays on Google Analytics I decided to make some changes to the home page tonight. I removed all the unnecessary links and irrelevant stats and instead just rendering a clean post list of the last 25 posts. (To remove the cached styles you might need to refresh the page in your browser)
The changes include:
- Removed unused links and stats.
- Dropped the Google Ads from the main page.
- Reduced the forums component to a single forum for site support and issues related to this site only. The core focus of the site is on South African .NET blogs and the forums weren't really utilized. (As an alternative the Microsoft forums at http://forums.microsoft.com is a great resource for technical support, monitored by both Microsoft MVPs and Microsoft staff members a well structured question is guaranteed a quick response. Those forums will soon be folded into the new Microsoft.Communities initiative which should make it even better)
- Unused links from the blogs main page and the rest of the site will be cleaned up with the 2007 upgrade.
We'll be upgrading the site to CS 2007 soon but more info on that once a date has been decided and the skin finalized.
