More Partner Income Is Moving!
Over the next several weeks, we will be completing our migration of More Partner Income to a new host. We have been on the same site since its inception and have finally outgrown it. We've also heard from several readers about performance and interruptions in service. The new site will incorporate many new features designed for better navigation, aesthetics, and interaction. Some of the new features we are implementing include:
- A new "Most Viewed Posts" section that will show the top most viewed posts and display them at the front of the page. This will eventually be a great help for new readers as well as regular readers who may have missed an interesting article that is getting the attention of others. At this point the feature doesn't include the heavy reading of articles written by Tom Collins in the past so it will be likely show the most recent posts initially.
- A per-post "popularity" percentage that is used as one of the criteria for the above feature.
- A "related posts" section below each article that will show you up to 5 related articles.
- An archives section that displays all the post titles for the current month and easy access to drill down to other months and years, using a collapsing/ expanding feature (click on the arrows).
- New graphical header that corresponds with the new look and feel of the updated Managing Partner Advocate newsletter.
- Comment editor will be expanded by default for the latest post, encouraging readers to interact and comment on the articles.
- New Polling feature that will show random polls every visit (or refresh of your page) that allow you to interact and help provide more content (I will periodically close a poll when there is no activity and if noteworthy will write a blog article based on the results).
- More Partner Income will be mobile device enabled, meaning you can go to www.morepartnerincome.com on your treo, blackberry or other mobile device and read articles without being at your computer.
- The page size should fit better with most displays. Sometimes the old site stretched so far you had to scroll to see the entire page.
Both sites have been running in parallel (posting on both, what a pain that has been - especially having to link internal posts twice) for several weeks. Now that we are close to moving the site, it is time to announce it and let people take a look. Please visit the temporary location at http://www.morepartnerincome.net and tell me what you think. If we have any issues, now is a better time to address them than after I shut down the old site.
We are tentatively set to "flip the switch" this Friday the 1st of February. Expect several weeks when old articles may not show images well or internal links won't work - that is because we have to re-set all of them and some may have not been linked properly. We hope to have that completed by the end of February. The text of the posts should be fine, however (other than some formatting irregularities, which too will be corrected). That said, please feel free to email me at brian@morepartnerincome.net if you encounter any issues or have a question regarding the site.
