Day 6: Get Some Fresh Perspective
So for today's challenge (actually yesterday) I was supposed to have a set of fresh eyes take a look at the blog and offer some critique. So I decided to have my wife take a look and offer her opinions. I knew going in that this would be interesting as she knows as much about blogs and technology education as I do about government finance (her chosen profession). So as expected the whole thing was a little foreign to her. She wasn't exactly sure what she was looking at and was a little confused by a couple of terms. She wondered what a widget was and why Clustrmap was spelled wrong and what did it do. The exercise was a reminder that sometimes I expect visitors to my blog (both of them) to have a solid understanding of what they are looking at and how to navigate around the site. So I guess now I need a set of experienced eyes to take a look and offer their opinion, any takers?

That really is a very good point. There are a lot of terms and jargon that we take for granted because we spend so much time in online spaces.
Heh, my wife has been on my blog many times, but last night I showed her a comment and she said, “Is that a new theme?” Nah, just the one I’ve had for nearly a year! Which shows how often she visits
