Jinkes! The new community page is terrif! It's so functional now and reading the unpublished trends is a hoot. Before you jazzed it up, the scoreboard page was a dreary, boring place to be. Now there's a party goin' on in here! Ooh-Ooh, raise the roof! Ooh-Ooh, raise the roof!

Trend Hunters: LOTS more is on the way. In 6 months you won't recognize this site. The community action will crank up and uploading a trend will be much easier... Plus: You'll make more money because traffic is on fire (maybe 1 million this month?). Thanks to all of you who are helping out in the beginning.

Oh dear. I messed up the page design. Oh well. Going good, Jeremy! I like the newer, more integrated design. Cleaner presentation. And yes the one thing I'd like to see is the ability to add trends more easily. Via email. Direct syndication from another blog (how could that be possible? I dunno. But some software may be out there). It'd be awesome if TH could be integrated in a software like Elicit. http://www.bingobangosoftware.com/

Any idea what the "embed" code should be for other video sources besides YouTube, like AOL Video? I had trouble with it and then lucked out and found the same video on YouTube, so I redited the piece (probably knocking it offline).

I can add pretty much any video type, but I have to manually specify which types are allowed (so that nobody adds malicious code). Let me know which types of video you would all like to upload.

If you wanna see how it looks in pink check it out on my (here comes the shameless plug for my blog!) blog at: www.celebritydresser.thegreedycheese.com Can we have like some kind of "Shameless Plug Mosh Pit" going on this page so others here can see what websites or blogs we host in one convenient list? It's too much work to find the links from individual bios. Might be nice to see what else we Trend Hunters do besides hunt and then we wouldn't have to feel guilty about posting our page addresses. Just a thought, come back soon Jeremy - A.K.A - The Man

Hjortur on May 1, 07  82 Trends   120 Comments
I don't know. I like it being wider. I like it being brighter. It is quite dark and heavy as it is now. But I think you are missing out the contrasts that make the articles stand out. If you choose this way, I think you should have a stronger boarderline between the articles and the left column to make sure they still stand out. Maybe you could try light grey or silver grey colours on the right and left columns to keep the contrast to the articles but still brighten up the site. Then it would also still be symetric. It is also more difficult to find the search window now. I hope this helps and that I am not being to critical. Cheers

Trendhunter is the site with "The Toasters That Wouldn't Die" Who knew they were such a hot topic? It's just toasted bread for Pete's sake, not rocket science, no matter what these toaster designers would have us believe.

Just to be different from Hjortur, I'm gonna say V3 is better. The spacing is off, but once you get those columns worked out, it's gonna look a whole lot more cheery on the front page.

HOT TRAFFIC TIP: Get WAY more traffic to each of your posts by clicking the BOOKMARK graphic (on the trend's page) and adding to Digg, Delicious, etc... It is tedious (yes), but if you want 3-1000x the traffic, you need to advertise your posts. Soon, I will make this pop up automatically after you post a new trend...

See Orbital Outfitters Spacediving spacesuit on PS cover issue. Radical. Unique & cool. & found this sweet motorbike- Victory Vision. Beats HD alone in style & looks. Victory makes Polaris snowmobiles. Not bad for a snowmobile Co on motorbikes. Radical. Id own one. FYI. But Spacediving, New sport. Skydiving would be "shallow earthdiving" like diving around coral reefs in the sea. Radical.

All: Please note that Celebrity Trends AND Naughty Trends are now excluded from the HOT Today banner on the front page. I may also exclude them from other places. I think celebrity news is one of the most important categories in the world of setting trends, but those articles get disproportionate buzz from the search engines, etc... I want to feature the other posts which are incredibly awesome. I haven't totally rolled any of those changes out, so please comment with your thoughts...

I thinks its a good idea in the main page. But I think they should be shown in the /popular and /best pages, because that's the purpose of these pages, to countdown the hot trends. Maybe provide a censored and uncensored view of these pages, but then there are already categories to choose trends in a certain topic.

Hi Jeremy, maybe you can save & remember the setting. I just tried it, and it only works one time. It would be nice to save the setting until it is changed again. For example, once the reader opts to include celebs & naughty trends, it will be in effect until he changes the setting.

Good point. There are probably places throughout the site that could benefit from such a save feature... I will need to noodle on 'HOW' for a bit longer though... Sweet.

Love the filter! Although I am in two minds about having the save feature. The whole point of filtering is to highlight the overshadowed trends so the visitor sees those first before turning off the filter.

Well... if we could all agree with Pearl, it would certainly make my life easier... less coding.. hehe. Although we could always make the saving optional...

But, we've also had it so that the photo opens the actual trend (which has the drawback of taking people out of the slideshow loop). Thoughts?

I agree with Elsa - I'd like to see the trend when I clicked on the picture otherwise the arrows are for advancing. 6 million! Next month 7 million?

I agree with Elsa because of our online habits, we expect clicking the photo to take us to the next submission. However, the thought is that the person who wrote the original trend gets a second shot at generating traffic to the story. Maybe clicking on the title could take you there?

Okee Dokee... Clicking the picture now opens the trend. Only the arrows navigate.

I agree with the picture taking us to the trend, I always thought the [more] is too small and the title being in black doesnt invite the use to click. As for the navigation, maybe add two nice arrows right above or below (or maybe both) this big picture. The problem with the big arros is that they almost do not look like arrows, maybe you should use an image instead of them, because the way they are drawn is not that nice.

Bianca, I was the first buzzer on some of your own trends (a few hours after they were published). So you need to be more the buzz wagon, lol.

I can't believe the Palin scandal... everyone on the web is abuzz about this, with photos and videos. This could be HUGE... if this is true, Obama is a shoe-in!

I hope so Bianca. The McCain camp is clueless. I mean, don't you investigate the background before choosing a running mate!!! It would be nice to have a hot scandalous VP though...

It should be noted about the buzz issue that its more effective to start buzzing when the article is published, not while it is in the feeds. Am I right editors?

The WP didn't tell the whole story. I hate half-truths and misleading stories regardless of the candidate. Wooten was found guilty of all charges...funny how the WP over-looked that fact. *SIGH* I'm writing in my hubby's name for Prez. ;-)

That's right Ayman, and if it's a really spicy topic, we'll give it the +++ to put it in the "buzz priority" feed.

I understand the Wooten scandal is another big story with Palin... the woman is done I think, which is really too bad. *sigh* I need a positive story about her...

Thanks Elsa. Unfortunately we do not have basements in Pensacola. We just had a 4 hour power outage due to high winds...not griping though, with Ivan we had about five days with no power. The bands keep coming and going, I know it's much worse in Louisiana. Bianca, are you referring to Palin's daughter? Sorry, there are a couple of scandals floating so I wasn't sure which one you meant. :-)

Welcome back everyone, hopefully everyone had a nice holiday! I got to go back to the West Coast too which is always thoroughly enjoyable. I can't believe it's already September! If anyone has ideas or back-to-school posts, this week would be a good window. Same thing goes or fall fashion as fashion articles always do really well! (BTW, what is this rule about not wearing white after Labor Day? Does anyone even follow that?)

I don't think it's followed much for clothes anymore, but it is still followed for shoes, so put away your white sandals and pumps. ;)

Wow, what a feat 60! The most I ever did was just over 30 on my first day because the rule of having 30 trends before we get any ad revenue was enforced. Way to raise the bar dude! But beware, for every Mark Spitz there's a Michael Phelps :)
