Since my experience with making readers suggest... well sucks. I was lazily thinking how to boost up number of suggestions.
1. Let owners tag their blog with topics.
2. Let owners receive suggestions made in blogs on same topics (optional).
For example I tag my blog as "freeware" and "portable" in settings. If someone makes suggestion to some other blog marked as "freeware" or "portable" I get that suggestion as well. Probably with visible note where it was suggested.
Bloggers are happy because they get lots of suggestions and lots of opportunities to link and connect with other bloggers.
Readers are happy because they get multiply articles and answers to their suggestions.
Extension of idea - let readers suggest to topic instead of specific blog. Readers asks "I need software for..." and all blogs with "software" tag get that suggestion.
At http://nrkbeta.no/hva-skal-vi-skrive-..., we have put up a skribit widget. But it is showing only 5 suggestions even if the field has been made bigger. How come? Where do I set it up to show more suggestions?
I was thinking it might be nice to have the ability to link more than one blog post to a question. Some of the questions I have are multiple topics at once, and so I'd do multiple blogs to answer them.
I tried widget in my blog today and weight graph shows that it adds around 300+Kb of java script. I try to keep blog light and that's almost three times rest of my index page including images and rest of scripts.
I understand that widget packs some fancy features, but does it really has to be that heavy?
PS as far as I understood alternative to widget is using RSS feed+link but that sends visitors away from page to make a suggestion.
It'd be nice to set a status on a suggestion such as "requested" (by default), "working on it", and "Sorry, no" Declined suggestions maybe don't appear on the widget but people who click through to Skribit see it.
I went to suggest a topic on a blog's skribit widget, and I decided to log in. (Click login.) I typed in my user name (titanium_geek) and the password field (was empty) was filled. "oh cool" I thought. "firefox has remembered my password." However, the focus on the "login" button was greyed out. I clicked it, thought "huh?" then realized that I had to type in my password, as the asterisks looked suspiciously like "password" like length. I typed in my password, and finally was able to log in.
So, I was wondering if this could be fixed? It's very confusing.
When logging in with an OpenID, clicking the "Login" button brings me to a page to sign up, when I've already registered. Clicking the "Clickpass / Enter" button logs me in properly. Seems like the forms' "login" button should be hidden when you choose to log in w/ an Open ID?
