How can I make this site better?
Jun 7th, 2007 | By andy | Category: ZR5 Site NewsIn my never ending effort to better this website, I have made numerous changes to ZR5 Asian News.
Let’s begin with the RSS feed. As you already know, I have my feed button on my top right corner(but under the header of course). On that same section, I simply added the words, ‘Full Feed RSS‘. This should generate more subscribers, and it is already doing its job. My subscriber number is constantly going up after I’ve implemented it. I’ve also added the ‘add to technorati’ button right below my feed button. I am testing out a Feedburner option for email subscription at the moment too.
For the actual subscribers, you should have alread noticed that I have added additional information at the bottom of each posts. First thing you see are the 5 related posts. This is done by the combination of a wordpress plugin and custom php file. After the related posts, I have couple of social network buttons and it also shows number of comments.
On the wordpress plugin side, I have added 2 plugins. First one is the ‘threaded comments’ which allows me to reply to each comment individually. Then a subscribe to comment plugin. This particular plug in allows people to subscribe to the comment via email.
Why have I done all this? Of course it’s all for you! I am constantly improving the site so we can all communicate and share our passion about all things Asian.
