An Interuption for Other Business

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

While I am proceeding with the update to The Closet, I have other sites that demand a bit of attention. It is probably not set in stone, but I redesigned the info page format for the More Info pages of the Closet. I will be continuing my efforts with The Closet, but I can’t neglect some tweaks and updates to my sites that are now producing traffic.

My Viral Email Archive site is my highest traffic site at the moment. I need to keep adding content there to maintain its position. There are some other tweaks that I want to try to make the site more productive as well.

My Mixing Live Sound site probably has the greatest potential of my current crop of sites and does see a reasonable amount of traffic. I have several original articles as well as several reprint articles on this site. There are some minor layout tweaks to do and I need to add a good bit more content. I have a list of search terms that I have been saving from the daily analytics. I may also check in with WebMaster Tools to find the best order in which to provide additional content. This site is consistently my second highest traffic site and my site with the highest quality traffic.

There is a good deal of interest in my Mixer in a Box site as well. This is my site introducing the SoftWare Audio Console live mixing environment that I have been using for the last year and a half. I have several pages of content planned for the site. I also want to do some layout tweaks to this site. I had a little bump of traffic from Indonesia due to a mention on a local forum there. I get steady international traffic to this site as there is a good deal of interest in mixing live sound on a computer.

As I go through my analytics information I often have ideas of things that may work for the various sites. I mark these down in my ‘ideas’ list. I have a lot that can be done if I will only take the time to follow through on the ideas. Many of the ideas are brought to light by my current understanding of web design and web development. I do continue to read on the subjects. The trick is to balance the reading time with the doing time. One needs the knowledge to become more effective, but the new knowledge also needs to be put into practice for it to be of benefit.

Anjolee Pages Live on The Closet Online

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

I have been working on my Anjolee pages for the Closet Online site. I put up their press release and pages that display a couple of their blogs, and I got started on some catalog pages. You can view the results at http://www.theclosetonline.com/stores/anjolee/. I will be putting up more catalog pages, but there is a problem with some of the available catalog items that are provided by Anjolee. Some of the descriptions do not match the pictured items. I have notified Anjolee, and they are working on the problem.

I reworked my comment software to display in the left sidebar column on this site. I basically like the way that it came out and will probably use it on other sites. Putting the comments in the sidebar makes them visible without scrolling to the bottom of the page. I think that this might serve my purpose a bit better for some things. I needed to adjust the software because the minimum width did not fit within the space available. I think that I still have a tweak or two, but you can see the current result on the catalog pages of the Anjolee store linked above.
