No, no, no, I didn’t just fire the entire staff, bring in an outside CEO and create an entire new layer of middle management! Actually, what we (me and Sol, the editor) did was created a bunch of new categories, deleted a bunch more, re-filed a bunch of links and are well on our way to making the categories much more robust and clear.
That has always been a problem with this site. Categories were always created in an “ad hoc” fashion, created on a whim, for the most part. Well, that time has past and now we are working on more structure employing a bit more (we hope) logic to the process.
For example, you’ll notice the HABITAT parent category. This will be for, well, I think the name says it all. And you may also notice that WEB RESOURCE is now gone. All of the links have been filed into more relevant categories and the category and all of the child categories have been deleted. SMALL BUSINESS is the next to be deleted. Everything there can be better filed into the new categories we’ve created, such as we’ve created ‘FOR SALE’ sub-categories for many of the main parent categories.
This will guide the user through the hierarchy with more clarity.
So, lots of thinking is finally being put to this particular aspect of the site, and its high-time that it has.
