Pondering on a site redesign, and I realized I knew nothing about how people visit the Lounge… So, if you’d please take a moment to answer the poll I’d appreciate it. If you use more than one method, check all that apply.
If you have any other comments/questions, feel free to drop a comment below.
Thanks!
I currently see no poll, but I’ve that problem before and switching to a different computer solved it. I’ll be sure to vote (and notify you whether I could) when I get the chance.
Desktop, Win7, Firefox (for both computers), but different security software.
Isn’t modern technology wonderful sometimes?
Yeah, but if you remember compatibility issues on early PCs… Or if you’ve ever edited typos with a mechanical type writer…
But, yeah, there are issues.
And… voted.
Also, this has nothing to do with anything, but I just realised they’re going to release the Eccentric Family in my region in spring. It’s a good year for favourite anime; right now 2/3 of Usagi Drop are out. It’s as if they waited to get a few good ones together. Yay!!!
Thanks!
At one point I used the WordPress app to read people’s posts, but that was when I spent most of my time at work on my phone. These days I sit down at my laptop at home to do a bunch of reading all at once.
Meaningless comment but just wanted to illustrate how preferences can change, I guess.
Yeah, they can and do change… This was more out of curiosity than anything else.
Voted and good luck on the redesign if you go that direction!
As someone who redesigned their site a few weeks ago, I know the process can be a little time consuming since there’s so many options. I hope everything turns out well.
Thanks!
Yah, filtering through the various themes and options… not easy or quick. And the differences can sometimes be subtle. I really have to spend some time with each.
Not helping is that WordPress doesn’t sort the themes in any way that makes it simple to just work down the list. I wish they were alphabetized.
I’ve redesigned my blog a few times to try and stay modern and up to date with mobile viewers. I don’t know how much it helped, but it gives me piece of mind.
As for my own reading habits, I tend to read WordPress blogs through the wordpress app reader section on my phone and tablet. I find it easier to see all my subscriptions in one place like that and work my way chronologically rather than going directly to someone’s site. I also read non-Wordpress blogs through my rss reader Feedly, and only go to the website directly when I want to comment.
This is for my own piece of mind, no doubt. I set this blog up and chose the theme in something of a hurry, and I’ve never liked it. On the other had, after a year of living with it and being immersed in other blogs I have what I didn’t then – a decent sense of what I do and don’t like or want.
I kind of use the WordPress reader… It makes it easy to scan everything chronologically, but I’m on my desktop so I right click to open entries I want to read in a new tab. (Which means I see their design.)
