Less is more
It has been months since I visited my quiz site and I was pleasantly surprised that although there have been no new quizzes, no newsletters, no friday quizday or google advertisements since december last year, the site receives still 2000 hits per month, and new people still enroll and enjoy the quizzes. There were also new questions added by various folks.
Yesterday I updated the site, basically upgrading it and throwing out a lot of stuff. People tell me my site is complicated and has too much. So as of today:
- Upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 Express edition, with .net framework 3.5
- The interface is only English, no more Dutch or multilingual (questions can still be made in multiple languages)
- No more tag assistent, and only 3 instead of 5 tabs for making questions
- No more news line on the home page
- No more contact information via MSN, Yahoo, etc in your profile
- Layout modifications (small) to various pages
There is more simplification and adjustments in the pipeline, but I'll need to find the time for it. I also have a book I wanted to write on competent people. You'll be the first to hear about new changes. And I'm open to suggestions.
