Site upgrade

April 5, 2008 by Artem Marchenko

During more, than three years of its life AgileSoftwareDevelopment.com gathered plenty of posts, comments and ideas. There is already quite some valuable content that that deserves to be visible even though it might be not posted last week. I decided that simple stream of posts isn't good enough anymore and reshuffled the design, trying to make it less cluttered and more useful.


Majority of the front page is now devoted to the top posts of all times and top posts published this month (I am also thinking about adding something like "Artem's favorite") + two-three featured posts, one of which is supposed to be reasonably recent good post and another one is exactly the latest one. This should give a very quick overview of what's really interesting right now and at all.



Chronological list is still present, but moved to the side bar to take less space and attention. By the way, if there is any Drupal guru who could help, please, let me know. I would like to add small plain-text teasers to the list items, but don't know how to do it.

I am going to devote more time to the discussion board, therefore the list of active forum topics was moved to the top. Forum and the most popular areas of the site also got own tabs at the top of the page for the easy access.

Useful?

How do you like it? Does it make sense and does it make the site any simpler?
