New Month New Look
November 1, 2006
Happy November! As you can see, we’re unveiling a new look here at bioethics.com.
On the left, we’ve expanded the number of categories, and simplified their display. Below that, a zoom cloud highlights frequently discussed topics. Scrolling down the left side, you’ll notice a list of authors that will take you directly to posts they’ve written. Archives and a constantly expanding recommended reading list round out the left column.
The center column is designed to be easier to read, with a clean crisp look and clear fonts. Notice also that for each post there is a link to the author name, which will take you to all posts by that author, as well as links to the categories into which the post falls, a permalink, and a link for commenting.
On that topic, we recently installed the Akismet spam stopper (1,463 spam comments blocked to date!). What this means is that most comments appear immediately (fewer comments are held for moderation), and almost no spam comments get through. This should help to foster more dialogue and interaction here at bioethics.com.
I don’t want to forget to mention the new graphic at the top of the page courtesy of designer Vince Black. Thanks Vince!
At the top of the right column is The Bioethics Poll, which currently seeks your opinion on the new design of bioethics.com — let us know! The Bioethics Podcast is available for free subscription in the iTunes music store and in the podcast section of Yahoo!. New links for the RSS feed allow you to add bioethics.com to your preferred reader. One of the other big changes is the addition of links to bioethics websites on the home page. The list is constantly expanding, so if you know of a link that should appear there, let us know by emailing info@bioethics.com.
Thank you for reading bioethics.com. Please participate: weigh in on the poll, subscribe to The Bioethics Podcast (post a review at iTunes or Yahoo!), and post comments to agree, disagree, and otherwise interact with posts.
