Yesterday, we published a poll asking you how quickly our homepage loads. The poll results told us 20 percent of you feel it loads too slowly.
We made several changes to fix this.
- Reduced the number of posts displayed on our home page, from 10 to eight
- Changed the settings for the “Digg This” button and the “Share This” options.
If you want to submit a post to Digg or share the post with your friends through e-mail, on Facebook, in del.icio.us, etc., which we hope you do and do a lot, the buttons are available on each blog post page. Just click on the title of the blog post to get there.
- Removed three widgets from the sidebar.
If you want to use the Global Food Crisis widget or the blog RSS feed widget, you can find them on our widget page. The cool-looking “Where Are You From?” flag-bubble widget now has its own page. You should visit it.
We’ll ask you about this again, in the near future. But for now, we have a new poll asking whether you want us to keep the Twitter widget in our sidebar.
