<\/a>Firstly I want to thank you for your feedback and help when I asked for it<\/a>. In many ways, your comments gave me a clearer view of how to improve Ikeahacker as well as chart a direction for it. Thank you, thank you! I feel re-inspired.<\/p>\n

In response to that (I wouldn’t want you to think that I wasn’t listening!) I have made a few tweaks to the current site. Mind you, this is not the big redesign I was talking about (which I am now seriously considering WordPress. Any thoughts?). I don’t want to do too much on this template since I won’t be using it in the redesign. But I do want to make sure that your experience on this site, while I work on the new design for the next coupla months, is a lot more useful and friendly. So here goes:<\/p>\n

Many of you asked for:
\n1. Better navigation <\/b>
\n– I’ve added the “older” and “newer” posts links at the bottom of the page. Hope that takes away the frustration of browsing the archives.
\n– Related posts complete with thumbnails are now under each post.   <\/p>\n

2. Better search<\/b>
\n– Under the existing categories section, I’ve added a drop down menu of all available Labels.
\n– I’ve also begun adding the Ikea names of the items hacked into the Labels. I do still forget some times. So do bear with me while I get the hang of it.<\/p>\n

3. Less clutter<\/b>
\n– I’ve increased the size of the left content area, as some of you mentioned, to give it space to breathe. This lets me include bigger photos too.
\n– Removed the Recent Comments (which many didn’t find useful), moved the Friends Link List to a dedicated page. Tidied up things in general.
\n– Used images for the Top Hacks instead of text. I kinda like this alot myself! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Little tweaks. But it’s an improvement, don’t you think?<\/p>\n
