    Aloha, Lots of CPians visit my website because of the signature below, but almost everybody escape again immediately :( http://www.whenwillitbe.com My website is a list of future scenarios (a new scenario is posted every day). Visitors can vote when they think something will happen and then we can all see some interesting tendencies. Did you for example know that 30% believe that within the next 15 years, all babies in the Western world will be implanted with an RFID chip. I think it's crazy interesting, but apparently most people don't think like I do (not a surprise really...). What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Mads -- modified at 9:40 Monday 2nd October, 2006

    Brilliant idea IMHO, but the site could do with a face-lift and some links to stories/articles that inspired each question.

      Yes, I am using Firefox with JavaScript turned off by default. I'd forgotten about that.

      Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

        Thanks for finding out what was wrong (it also works fine on my computer (firefox/IE)).

          It's down now - so that may be one reason you don't see many hits.

              I can't access your web site (as Nish says, it seems to be down) but from the description you've given and other peoples comments it might be worthwhile adding a couple of words to your signature exaplaining a bit more about what to expect. To be honest I took your link to be to your personal blog so I haven't previusly clicked it because I'm not a blog reading person. (Well, except for Rob's, but he is a compelling writer.) It certainly sounds interesting, but previously I would have had no clue or inclination to visit it.

                I don't know what my host (Site5) is smoking (http://florida.websitepulse.net/uptime/J6486I9161.html). Usually they are great, but somehow they have managed to fail today :( Thanks for all your comments. I'll look at them a bit more, hit the keyboard and hopefully end up with a website that get thousands of hits everyday :)

                      I disagree. CPians love conjecturing :)

                      Truly the talks are interesting... I think. To be really really very true: i don't read them... 8) What about the titles of the posts? Don't know how they look in other browsers, but in IE 7 the multi-line headings are overlayed, so a wrong line-height possibly given in your stylesheet? I felt the 'design' of your site is too clean. It would be nice if it is more flashy, like the boulevard version of a national geographic. It is really disturbing that the polls are UNDER the articles, they should be disabled on load and then faded in by javscript due to a click on a 'more info'/'vote' button (whatever you may call it) or something like that. Or you categorize them and display the newest ones with big big pictures in a column to the left and use the remaining place for a per-page/per-post-view where you put the poll aside aligned to the right. A coloured background might also be a favor example of catching visitors. Think of black if you just want to have the pictures staying contrastly in front, or any other color that is 'mild' and 'deep'. E.g. an indian yellow or a sunny orange, something like that. If you want to let it glare, then use graphical border-sets around your articles that make them look grabable, handy or something like that. Just try something, if you have interest to built it up and work massively on it ask me for help by providing some facts about the number of artciles you have, the system it is based on, how much space you have and so on. Possibly we might give it a push? You know, code is poetry, fine and tasty; ...but taste sometimes isn't discussable. You're Welcome, Paeth.Claudius-Raphael
