July was a busy month with lots of new features and changes.

 

 

Stumblizer –  In July I cobbled together a random website finder, sorta like the old StumbleUpon.  This has turned out to be surprisingly popular.  There must be a lot of bored people out there.  I keep adding a few new websites to the Stumblizer index when I find something that fits with the theme.

 

Directory Stumble – This is another random site finder like Stumblizer (above) only filled with different types of directories.  It would appear that not everyone is as enamored of directories as I am since it gets almost no use. *sigh*  It was an experiment and just never took off.  But it is unique.  Still, I’ll keep it up because, you never know, somebody, someday, might enjoy it.

 

Retroweb Ring –  Our new webring has gotten steady interest and I invite you to join.

 

Webmaster Page –  I added a page listing various free things and guides we have for webmasters.

 

Changed Weblogs Category –  Weblogs was always the category for personal blogs so it made sense to move it from under Internet to being under Personal Pages.  Like this: Personal Pages > Weblogs.

 

Made a button – W00t.  I made a button for Indieseek.  You can see it on our Link to Us page.  It’s not fancy but it’s a button.  I used Sadgrl’s Button Maker and the excellent Online Converter to convert the image from png to gif.

 

 

Added a bunch of directories.

 

We got listed in – Smooth Sailings Listings , List-Me and Link Lane Listings.  These directories may be small but are well established and have already sent traffic.

 

Turned off Comments on individual Link Listings – only one or two people have ever left comments besides me since we started in 2018 so best to turn them off.

 

That’s the roundup for July.

Added about 50 new listings in the directory over today and yesterday.  Lots of vintage HTML pages.

Made some adjustments in search, switched the default from AND to OR. (keyword1 OR keyword2).

More usability adjustments planned for the near future.

Need to create a widget explaining the “cause”.
