Paul’s Support Is Much More Widespread Than Reported
As announced
on the blog several times in recent days, Lewrockwell is moving
the website and all its content to a new WordPress based format.
Thanks to all those who looked at the beta site and provided feedback.
Here are some of the main changes we’re looking at thanks to your
comments:
- Overall
the site looks clean, loads quickly, and is easy to use (not a
change, I know) - Keeping
a serif font, instead of the sans-serif font on the beta site
articles - Tweaking
the spacing and font sizing of article titles and the masthead - Continuing
with Google search for now, instead of the current WordPress search - Tuning the
background color and font colors slightly to reduce eye-strain
while reading - Final updates
to Articles, Podcasts, and Blog posts – all will be updated before
the move - Other minor
bug fixes
This is by
no means an exhaustive list of version 1 tweaks or the features
we’re looking at adding once we move to WordPress. Please hold your
comments and requests for now if you haven’t already sent them in.
We’ll have another open comment session once we launch the new site.
Suggestions for version 2 include:
- Categories
– the overall area of focus for an atricle (e.g. Economics, Foreign
Policy, Domestic Policy, Anarcho-Capitalism, etc.) - Tags – these
are more specific than Categories and an article can have more
than one (e.g. Drones, Gold, Ron Paul) - Comments
– no Facebook required, likely Disquus - Ratings
– 1 to 5 stars for an article, ala Amazon - Search –
incorporating the above metrics and keywords - Potentially
more items
Here’s how
we need your help now. The site seems to load quickly, but we’ve
only had about 2% of the overall readership go there. Today, Monday
April 1st (hold comments please!) please go and read
the entire site over at Beta.LewRockwell.com. This will give us
the opportunity to see how the entire site functions under the real
load that we’ll see when we go live in a 2-3 weeks, and make adjustments
so your load times stay as fast as possible. Click
