Web Usability
Just wanted to cover a few updates and wanted your feedback too. First up are the photo pages. Click through to the A Week in Tokyo page for example. If you keep scrolling, the page will continue to load previous photo articles until you hit the end of the Internets meaning that you can get to the content you are looking for without a load of clicking.You can also do the same for Japan and Figures and anything else in the Category menu at the top of the screen.This technique of web usability is known as "Endless Scrolling" or "Infinite Scrolling." I noticed that Kotaku implemented the same although you need to click a link at the bottom to load more.
Folks who are interested in this can get a JQuery plugin from infinite-scroll.com - they have a Wordpress plugin and its Search Engine friendly too.To find other previous items, for now you need to click on the "View More" link just after the 6pack on the top page - which brings me to a question...
When looking for previous DC content, do you search or paginate through pages?
If its a recent post then I would paginate but if its from a while ago I do a search.
What do you do when looking for previous content?
