Editing and Revising

While driving home from my day job I got all kinds of ideas on how to improve the site. Here are a few changes that I made today that may help.
  • Navigation - changed "Village Stories" to "Villagers" - thought it might have been a confusing title. Plus, I may want to use "Village Stories" at another time for something else, like actual village stories.
  • Nudginary - took Brett's comment from the "Post a Nudge" section and made a resource link called "Nudginary." We'll see if people are interested in forming some words for the community. If not, no harm done, but it could be a fun activity for some.
  • Daily Nudge from a Nudger - Anthony wrote a great piece on logos in the "Post a Nudge" section and so I pulled it and turned it into a daily nudge entry for today. This is what community is all about - sharing knowledge and learning from the knowledge others provide. Great stuff!
  • Navigation - Opportunities became Help Wanted - not sure what difference this will make, but wanted to have a new title for this section. Perhaps people will want to post things they need help on here instead of making it like a job site. After all, we are hoping to get people pursuing passions instead of perhaps a cubicle job...unless people work well in cubicles.
  • Navigation - took "Sandbox" out of the main navigation and put it as a sub-resource page. This blog will feed into it - if I can figure out how to keep it going continually instead of manually. I like the idea of people sharing in the journey of the site creation (if they want to) and it may help me capture moments that might get forgotten along the way.
Whew! Two hours on this and it doesn't feel like it, but all good.

Oh, I also posted the latest "Daily Nudge" links on Facebook. We'll see if anyone comes to the site from it.
