Giving SBP A "Face Lift"

Hey Everybody!

I mentioned on the podcast last week that I'm open to looking for ways to keep things fresh at Spirit Blade Productions in terms of the content that normally brings you back to visit. I'm interested in getting your thoughts if you have any. Any ideas you have about the forums, the content of the website or blogs, or the podcast?

Anyone interested in the bumpers (segues) of the podcast being redone, or "if it ain't broke don't fix it"?

My main interest is not in an overhaul, but just ways of keeping things fresh to give people continued reason to come back and check things out. I'm open to any and all ideas and won't shoot anything down. (Though I may not comment on all ideas put forth.)

I'd also be interested in hearing what brings you back to anything SBP is doing on the web. (be it the blogs, facebook page, forums, podcast, website etc.) Giving a shout out to your favorite reasons for coming back will help make sure they don't get the axe as I consider new ideas!

So if you have any ideas, please leave them here and I'll take them into consideration!

Thanks!

I think reworking the intro and bumpers would be a good ideas.

The main thing that keeps me coming back to the web site is the forums. I like the opportunity for interaction with other Christian geeks, and hope for even more to get involved in the future. As I think I've mentioned before, personally, I don't hit the Facebook, blog, and other sites very often. I hit the forums almost every day.

For the podcast, my favorite parts are Seeking Truth and movie reviews, and whenever there's content provided by other members of the community. The occasional interviews are nice too.

Just my two centi-dollars.

Thanks for everything you do, Paeter, to make Spirit Blade possible.

So going on what whitely is saying you need to add a link for the forums at the top of your page with everything else...

Also I don't like the double column thing going on and just generally find your website hard to navigate... my honest two cents

Probably a bit of work but what about a widget the scrolls through recent updates to the blog, paeter's brain, FB, twitter and/or the forums? It shows how often new material and ideas are coming through SBP.

Anyone know good places to look for widgets?

Good places to look for widgets?
Well, everything depends on what software platform your website is built on. Any tips?

The main website is Cold Fusion, don't know about the forums, and the blogs are blogger.
