We’ve been considering adding a dedicated page just to provide some sort of “description listing” of all the is-there blogs. We figure that it would be good for advertisers to get a preliminary view of all the blogs (especially in light of our upcoming “network”-wide AdBrite use) or even for curious visitors that might end up visiting the described blogs.

Adding a screenshot or the blog logo would probably also be part of such an endeavour. But the real question is how long should the description be. So far, we’re thinking of one paragraph. That is probably just long enough to give a brief (and hopefully, catchy) description of the blog, without inundating our dear readers with stuff they could easily find out by visiting the blog itself.

But until the design of the proposed over-the-header navigation bar is completed, this “description listing” will have to wait (agonizingly) on our To Do list for this blog.

We talked about a To-Do list just one post before this one, and thought of sharing our To-Do list, but just for this blog. If you’ve been a regular of the previous design, you would have noticed several features missing in this incarnation – namely, feed aggregation from the rest of the is-there blogs, and a suitable blogroll.

Hence our To-Do list:

1. Dedicated feed aggregation page. Given our love for 2-column designs, it isn’t likely that we’ll be adding a third column just for is-there feeds. Therefore, it is likely that we’ll setup a separate feed aggregation page which will serve your needs better.
2. Dedicated links page. While this isn’t a network at all, we’re thinking of putting up a links page for the is-there blogs, rather than just stuff them in the sidebar. Though it is likely we’ll still add a footer blogroll to share the Google PageRank juice from the index page.
3. Header bar design. We’re thinking of adding a header bar (not a header replacement) above the normal header itself. It’ll be something like a navigation bar, so nothing surprising there. Among the pages that will be linked to include an advertiser’s destination page, design notes, and probably a couple of FAQs.

And… that’s it for now.
