Current-izing the blog a bit, with your help


Readers,

It seemed like time to redesign the blog a bit, and I’m liking the new look so far. The expanded post section gives me room to post larger photos and embedded videos, and having a single sidebar makes it possible for things there to be less squashed, too. (Of course, I’m viewing it on my desktop Mac and have no idea what you people on laptops, PCs, and handhelds are seeing. If it doesn’t look spectacular, I suggest you go out and purchase a large Mac at your earliest possible convenience.)

There’s been a bit of reorganization as well, and I’m going to continue to try and find ways to make things prettier and more easily navigable. Suggestions are welcome, especially in the Spanking Stories links – where I’m unsure how to properly separate the stories (or are they already properly separated?). I’m also thinking of tackling a massive overhaul of the individual post tags and ‘Favorite Subjects’ section.

If you’re aware of a safe and skilled professional disciplinarian, in any location, not listed in the right-hand sidebar, please let me know and I’ll make the addition. Likewise, if you’re aware of any discrepancies as to active pro spankers.

The same goes for spanking groups, large and small. If you’re a member, or know of a good one, send me a link to the group and I’ll add them in the sidebar listings.

Finally, blogs. I know that there are nearly a go-zillion blogs about spanking, CP, DD, HoH, TTWD (sheesh with the differentiations, by the way), and I also know that folks like Bonnie do a pretty excellent job of cataloging nearly each and every one of ’em. But if there’s something noteworthy missing from the sidebar blogroll – whether it’s your blog or one you recommend – send me the link (or put it in the comment box below) and I’ll add it.

Still unsure about the free video embeds to the right – if they don’t reappear soon I’ll re-upload them to spankingtube and get new embed codes for them.

I’m also hoping that the redesign will fix the problem that a few of you have had with text formatting in RSS/email delivery subscriptions. Anyone previously experiencing this problem can email me with the fix/no-fix verdict.

  1. Looks good!! For those of us who have laptops, pc’s, etc….
    Control – …. makes it smaller to fit.
    Control + ….makes it bigger…
    Its just simple like that…
    And cheaper than buying a Mac. ;o)

  2. Spanking Stories:

    I like seeing the contests listed where they’re at now.

    If technology permitted, I’d enjoy being able to expand or close a particular contest in place. So, if I clicked on a plus sign or some small icon, maybe it would expand the Birthday Spanking contest in its place on the right hand side, and would I see the prize winner first, followed by an alphabetical list of other individual entries.

    After picking a few stories and reading them, I’d be able to close that contest and expand the Spooky Story one.

    The ability to do that without having a different page load would be tres cool. Sort of a quick browse by contest feature.

    I have some other thoughts as well, but I want you to know that I like the site a lot. On the survey, I wonder if it’s always possible to have a comments area (free form), but still be able to automatically tally and display results?

    Nice work and I’m glad you’re appreciating the new computer.

    Anthony
