Top rated content - and new entry page

Top rated content

I added a new page that lists the top pages on 361points.com, based on users ratings.

It’s not listing the comments, but only the average rating for each page that is “rating-able” and has more than one rating.

So far most of the ratings are positive, but there are only a few comments (all positive) - please don’t be shy to criticize if there is a page you don’t like, and more importantly comment on what you think can be improved.

New entry page - in test

I consider changing the entry page for 361points.com from what it currently is (the “What is Go?” page) to some sort of short abstract about what the website is about. Here is the link to a possible entry page - it is just “in beta”, not used yet, or linked from anywhere on the page - please have a look and comment on whether you think it’s a good idea or not. Thanks!!

Added ratings…

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

… page ratings, that is.

At the end of most of my pages on 361points.com I added a simple feedback form, something like: “If you haven’t already, please rate this page” and there are 3 choices. For instance, have a look at the end if this article. The purpose is for me to track what’s good and what’s not, and figure out what to improve on the site.

This is the first dynamic feature I added to the site, so please excuse the looks and eventual bugs - I am learning these things as I go, I am something like 30 kyu at web programming :-)

The intended functionality: once you click submit, the page is refreshed and you won’t see the feedback form again, at least not for a while, while you view the page from the same computer. If you have cookies disabled, I guess you’ll see the form again - no need to submit again, though.

Please let me know if you see anything out of order - thanks!
