As the amount of users interested in joining the Swiss Folding Team keeps increasing, I have decided to invest some time in the site, in order to make it more user friendly.
Even more new folders!
I have just checked the list of members that are folding for the Swiss Folding Team and it is rapidly growing! Have a look at the print screen below:
Captcha
Bots were increasingly subscribing to the site. In order to reduce the amount of useless registrations on the site I installed the Advanced noCaptcha & invisible captcha plugin. With the help of some friends I have tested it and apparently it is working as expected. I had to cancel all fake users: I am afraid I have canceled some real accounts, I am sorry for that. If you do not mind too much, you may register once more, please.
Widgets
I have added some widgets to the right side of the page and removed other ones who were not that useful. The new widget shows the last 5 blog posts: it should give more visibility to the blog. As it is indexing the English posts only the Italian ones are not showed. Having different widgets for each language will be a challenge: from the quick search I have performed today it does not seem that easy. But maybe that’s just me. 🙂
Language
I have changed the main language of the site into English. When I first created this homepage I was convinced that I would have managed to add more languages, do translations etc. this is why, the first language I have been writing on was Italian. Now I will use English as main language and provide translations in other languages too (if there are volunteers out there to translate posts or even write them, I am all ears. Post a comment below or on the forum as your prefer).
Email subscribers
I have updated the list of users that will receive an email every time I write a new post. It is not that often, believe me. So do not worry about getting tons of emails or SPAM.
I am also posting the new posts on the Facebook page. Hope this helps in getting the team and project even more known. 🙂
As always… Fold on!
