On Feb 14 I sent out the most recent edition of the PW Classifieds newsletter. If you received it, and didn’t want it, you can use this link to tell me never to send it again. If you didn’t receive it, but wish you had, check to make sure you didn’t already opt out of it.
In the news letter I mentioned three features I was contemplating adding to the classifieds. I promised that whichever feature drew the most feedback was what I would work on next. Here are the results:
- Ability to repost ads: 28 people favored this
- An email notive when ads expire: 8 people favored this
- A google map embed in each ad: 4 people favored this
I want to point something out here about the google map. I have no intention of ever sending someone to your door step. If I put a good map in the pages,
it will be similar to the google link that is already there at the bottom left of the ads. It will be to the zipcode, not to a street address.
I think it is pretty clear that the majority of the responses were interested in the ability to repost ads without starting over from scratch. That is
what I’ve been working towards for the a good portion of this week, and I hope to make it available sometime in the next few weeks.
In less positive news, Saturday morning I had a web server crash. I have the replacement just about ready, and I hope to be able to install it this evening.
Late last week several people emailed me about blank pages and difficulties with the web interface. Those issues seem to have abated with the removal of the bad machine. I greatly appreciate your patience.
Thanks,
Chris
