Changes to BfAZ Format

Posted by Michael Bryan

I've often got feedback about this blog that it can be hard to keep up with the volume of posting. Things can often just fly off the front page and never been seen between visits. Also, sometimes the front page can load very slowly due to all the media trying to load up.

So, we are going to try to do something about that.

I have asked our bloggers to make some changes to the way they post. Of course, that means a change in the way you read.

Bloggers will put a continuation link in after the first 3 or 4 paragraphs, if they are going to write more than that. That means there will be a link at the bottom of longer posts that you have to click in order to continue reading the rest of the post.

Also, all embedded media, such as videos, embedded PDFs, and the like, will only be after the continuation link. This should significantly improve load times.

As a result of these changes, I believe that we will be able to expand the number of most recent posts on the front page from the current 20, to up to 50. We'll see.

We ask for your patience and your imput during this process. Let us know how we're doing, and how you are finding the reading experience in comments or by writing to us at [email protected].
