Happy New Year, Credit Writedowns readers! I hope the new year finds you in good spirits. I am battling a bit of a cold but I am in pretty good spirits myself. So I want to use this opportunity to thank you all for supporting our site, making comments, sharing articles on Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail, and for making blogging an enjoyable experience for me and the other writers here.
So what’s new at CW and in the world of finance and economics? Well, first at Credit Writedowns, we had switched to partial feeds because site scrapers were hotlinking to our files and causing problems for us on the search engines. As of this morning that is over. The full feed is back. I don’t think there any other major changes to report; so instead let me ask a favour of you: please respond to this post with suggestions on ways to improve your user experience on the site. Should we use a different comment system? Are the fonts wrong? Is the grey background annoying? Would you like to see more posts per day or less? At what time would you like the daily newsletter delivered? What should we do to make it easy for you to share your opinion in the comments and to share posts with your friends? Please let me know so that we can make the right changes to improve your experience on the site.
Oh, there is one thing that has changed recently – the links post. I have started to put the links post into the feed automatically. It goes out the same time every night. So it is more reliable than when I do it myself. But it doesn’t show up on the site – just in the feed. If you don’t subscribe to the feed, then you don’t get to see the links. Please let us know if this works because it is a lot easier since it is automated. P.S. – The best address for the feed is www.creditwritedownns.com/feed.
Later today, you should expect a post by Claus and one by me on our first thoughts for 2011. That’s it for now. I look forward to hearing from you all.
Best regards,
Edward
