Major Updates to TechsHome.net

Posted on December 28, 2009 at 10:09 AM

Hello, to our fellow readers.

As you may have seen already, we have made some major updates, and added new features to our website. As we continue to grow, we felt the necessary need to change, add, and remove components of the site. The first segment of the website that we changed is the home page. The latest videos tab is now at the very top of the page. We felt this was needed as we continued to make and upload more videos. Instead of the news and updates tab, we now only have news, which is located right under the latest video tab. We have removed the twitter updates, and instead added a better looking, larger, hardware news section. The last two tabs of the home page are the same as before.


The next major update that I am going to mention is actually an addition to the site. It is a new page- forums. Forums are a great way to increase interaction between our community. People who may have questions about tech related topics may come to the forums, post the question, and they are sure to get a reply. Enthusiasts and gamers will be coming to the forums to discuss the latest in computer hardware. Consumers who haven't made a decision on what to buy will be coming for suggestions. Overall, it a great way to increase interaction, and have people coming back to visit every time.


Anther page that we have added is the members page. This page will include a list of the members on the site, and will allow visitors to visit each member's page; which will include their latest activity on the site, as well as some information about the user, and will give you some options regarding the user. Some of the options will include: sending them a message, adding them as a friend, as well as commenting on their page. Again, this was added to increase interaction and grow the site.


Finally, I will talk about two not-so-big updates which I have made; the first being some minor changes to the sidebar on the left. I have removed one tab and added two news ones to the left sidebar. I removed the Live Show Schedule tab, because it wasn't being updated, and the user could easily click on the live page in order to get the same information it was presenting. The two new tabs I have added are the Welcome, and Recent Forum Posts tabs. The welcome tab should attract more people to become members of the site, and will allow a member to check their inbox, edit their profile, as well as invite other members. The Recent Forum Posts tab will display the latest forum posts automatically from the forums. This should bring more visitors to the forums, as well as make visitors aware of the current discussion in the forums.


The second not-so-big update which I have made to the site is that you now have to be a member if you would like to comment on videos or blog posts, post in the forums, and interact with other members. This act was fulfilled in order order to make users more aware that they could become members as well as to invite more visitors to become members; also to put out the word that you get much more of the site by joining it.
