how to find new comments and updates

I've been thinking about our information architecture....which is a tough subject. (Back to Jakob Nielsen.)

Here's how you can find updates & new comments on posts:

  • Click on the 'Recent Changes' link in the sidebar to the left.

  • You will see a list of all posts that have had 'recent changes.'

  • To the right of each post is the name of the person who made the most recent change: Carolyn, me, or a KTM reader.

  • A topic has had a recent change when either Carolyn or I has added an 'update' to the body of the post, or when a reader has added a comment.

  • If you made a comment on a thread, and you see your name still listed as the last person to have made a change, that means no one has added anything else.

  • If you see someone else's name, that means someone added a comment after you did, so there is something new for you to read if you're interested.

It took me a little while to get used to this system, but now that I know how it works, I like it. I can see quickly if anyone has added a comment--and I can see if people have added comments to posts from a few weeks ago, too.

Let us know if it works for you, or if you find the "Recent Changes" page confusing.
