Some New Site Features - Top Commentators Get Free Linkback

Jul 10th, 2007 by Leonid Shalimov | Scroll down for comments

Rewards for our users.So we ran some major overhaul today on the layout and feel and added some sweet new features too! One of the new major features is that top commentators get their site automatically linked in the sidebar. You have to always use the same name and address to make sure it counts, this gives people a little more incentive to comment on our articles (which we always appreciate greatly).

We also added some quick links to the navigation menu. These buttons are for ease of use. We picked out the hottest topics and linked em’ up for quick searching through our archives to get to filtered content. Along with that we added a RSS Link and a Technorati Favorites link.

One more quick thing. We added a quick bar at the top to access the RSS feed along with a link to the homepage and a link to download Firefox (my favorite browser). Enjoy the new look, let us know if you have any bugs (we also appreciate constructive criticism on the design so leave some comments!).

    Wow man, looks sharp.
    Who does your graphic design? Also, how’d you set up the top commentators widget?

    Keep up the great work!

    @OneYearGoal

    Thanks a lot for the kind words. I personally do all the graphic design.

    Your site looks great!!! I have a lot to learn from you.

    How can you make the header? (which contains your site title and the advertisement unit)

    I tried to put advertisement on my header but it fails(the ad unit goes left, it just can’t float to right).

    […] word. Want comments? Give reader’s some incentive. I’ve recently started a sidebar promoting the people who commented the most by giving them a linkback. This way, more people would want to comment to get their site up on that […]

    I just found your site and really enjoy it. Nice design.

    After reading this post I added to top commentators plugin to my site. I think it’s a great idea and easy way to reward comments. Now if I could only get more comments ;-)
