I can appreciate your thoughts on Weekend work - so here's a compromise - never do it during the day - shoot for 1a-5a where the majority of your subscribers are located.

Hey Donald - I have a Web Marketing Company... what I'm finding with Yola is an 80% design solution that enables focus on lead capture and other ROI-based activity. So my clients can pay me to think and deliver, rather than waiting on a developer.

With that said, some of my clients demand a 95-100% design solution - that still happens the old fashioned way - expensive and slow(er).

John-Scott Dixon replied on May 08, 2009 14:42 to the update "Scheduled Maintainence" in Yola:

As you know - big fan - but maintenance needs to happen on the weekends (unless emergency). I have work for clients that is due today - and you've taken the tool offline.

When do you anticipate being back online?

Just a Text Box

Need the ability to add text without an associated diagram shape.

John-Scott Dixon replied on April 13, 2009 15:06 to the question "Compliance for Politician Websites" in Yola:

FYI - I am not asking to remove the Yola footer - just add information above or beneath it - we like the "frugal" message working with Yola will send.

I am curious as to whether Yola can step-up for a high-profile website - I think it can be good for both parties. Let me know, I would hate to lose this over a technicality!

Compliance for Politician Websites

I will be launching (hopefully) a US Congressman's website via Yola. That assumes I (we) can overcome a minor technical hurdle. The ability to place the "Paid for by Politician" message centered at the bottom of the footer. Can you assist?

Poor Button Placement

You've done a nice job with this application - Kudos! Quick suggestion - either change the color or something of your "Cancel" button at the bottom of the "Account Settings" page or something - nearly canceled my account because I went to the bottom of the page for that action. Just an FYI!

Awesome App for Connecting Visually

I was their first customer - within 30 seconds of when they opened their online doors - continue to be a huge fan!

This makes beautiful organic charts... suitable for framing!

Link Containing Google Analytics Information Breaks Disqus

If I want to track the success of an email campaign by using Google Analytics, and the target of that campaign is a blog post within my Blog, and Disqus is enabled - Disqus will treat each visitor via the campaign as though they are trying to access a new Blog post. So, none of the comments will show... Help?

Confusing to write - please ask clarifying questions, if needed.

Track Social Media Activity

Any thoughts about tracking social media activity? For example, I match the Twitter accounts to my contacts within Highrise, when I send a Tweet or they reply - it is automatically appended to the record for that contact? Same for Facebook and on and on!!!

Email is an older form of communication, but still massively important to track. But the world has changes there are at least 36 other signals to track!!!

Also - how will Google feel about a non-301 Redirect - will there be a penalty?

JohnScottDixon replied on April 11, 2009 17:50 to the question "Can I add 301 redirects to a Yola website?" in Yola:

Is there a remedy that would enable editing of the redirected page (not that I would want to)? Also, (glad I tried on a test site first) the file never seems to save with that Javascript on it... any thoughts?

Payment Confirmation Notice to Customer

Lots of feedback that indicates when I send a confirmation of payment to my customers, they often think it is another invoice (in fact, I've receive double payment before due to this problem). Since, we never see the customer's perspective - I'm not sure how to resolve, but it probably needs a different look (dramatically different).

Include File for Google Analytics?

It would be great for things like style tags and Google Analytics code if you had an include widget - so I didn't have to cut & paste on every page - just publish a global include for all existing and future pages. Does this already exist?

Can I add 301 redirects to a Yola website?

I have a few pages that preserve the former structure, but needed to be replaced with more SEO friendly pages - can you help me out?

Sent Tweets from any Twitter client

Should show sent Tweets from any client (e.g. send to Twitter from Ping.fm, but see it in my Brightkit dashboard under Sent). Any thoughts on adding that?

finding profile stats

Where do you go to see your # of followers, updates, # you follow, etc?
