SignWriting List January 26, 2001 My Dear Friends - Thank you for your wonderful feedback on my "experimental" opening page to our web site...all of your responses have been VERY helpful... And your input, Angus, was so eloquently stated! Yes...you are right that people do not see the Enter sign....and I noticed Bill Reese just mentioned in a new message that he had not seen the Enter sign either - kind of funny, isn't it?! Of course I am thrilled that the other sites get some attention too - they well deserve it! And I hope to do more on their behalf in the future ;-) But getting back to my site, there is a solution...I just need to go back to the way it was before, but improve the masthead...(the masthead is the design at the very top of a newspaper, or a site). If the opening masthead is clear for newcomers, but the links on the side frame are still there for everyone who uses SignWriting, then both worlds can be met.... SignWriting is a hard subject, and yet my site receives from 1000 to 20,000 hits a day, depending on whether I announce new Special Features or not....hits are not visitors, as you know. Out of 1000 hits, around 300 visitors have arrived to the site...but still, that is enough! I cannot keep up with it all anyway! ;-) So in around a week, you will find a new Special Feature, and a new opening page once again! Many thanks everyone.... Val ;-) (PS. I will make one last experiment, by taking off all the other sites at the bottom leaving just the Enter link, and that is all.... Then I can use my tracking software to see if people can figure out to use the Enter link or not - ha!) |
