Site Updates August 2009

Smartkit Facelift only possible with the help of my good-natured friend at Trozo Studios, who took some time last week to help us out. If you want to see what massive design talent looks like, check out the studio’s portfolio here.

Couple new things:

recent comments by other members now displayed in the right column
every time you reload the homepage, 9 new random games fill the little boxes up top
you can get smartkit’s puzzles automatically delivered to your email by subscribing in the box found in the right column. Hopefully someday soon, Feedburner will enable you to choose how often you want them delivered (daily, weekly, monthly, etc..).Currently there is only 1 option, and that is daily.
if you notice any bugs, please let me know info@smart-kit.com. Thanks!
don’t forget we have a new jigsaw and a new magic trick challenge posted below,. Also in the coming weeks, some new math & logic puzzles by MichaelC and Bilbao, and possibly a new flash puzzle by SimpleAndy

Especially like the way recent comments are visible on the homepage. Very nice!

Glad to hear!

Impressive!
One minor thing though: would be nice to have back the number of comments for each puzzle on the main page; this is how we know whether the comments became public or not.

One old bug: when logging in, we are redirected to the edit profile page instead of back to the original page that had the login link

Thanks Hex. Agree, having the # comments on each post would be helpful, let me see what we can do. Will also have that bug fixed hopefully this week.

I like the new look! One suggestion, if possible: Some way to show to what post the most recent comments belong. The comments are interesting, but since people will post on a few articles at a time, the display on the right seems out of context.

Thanks Margot, this is something we’ll update shortly

You should also make it so the picture that you post with each new post on the main page links to the full post. I know I’m much more inclined to click the picture than the link, since it’s what’s drawing my attention, anyways.

We should be able to do that Trunicated, very good idea.
