Category/Subcategory suggestions

[SHarkins]

Perhaps another suggestion for cats > subcats could be:

Religion > Pagan > Wicca

LifeStyles > Gothic

Genres > Horror

 

and maybe you might want to have a 'tight fit' for each ring so that there is no room for confusion or 'general fit' across multiple catagories? Perhaps you might wish to approach it similar to an example like:

 

Entertainment and Arts >

     Media Arts >

          Genre >

               Horror>

                    |--TV

                    |--Radio

                    |--Internet

                    |--Literature

 

Really, it seems to come down to the question...do you want a deep drill down with a few rings and sites in the bottom level (specific) or a wide shallow drill down with many rings in more generalized catagories? It may be better (only a suggestion) to create a tighter deeper drill down to limit the amount of rings for sites that would belong in multiple rings across different catagories. The reason I mention this is to keep the hits to the server down and keep costs lower, especially, when webringo takes on a large number of sites in rings across multiple catagories. One thing that might be taken into account is that SOMETHING drove Webring to do what it did and you dont want to repeat it. It is my guess that their servers got hammered...that is why they first started with not serving up pix for the rings on their servers because of bandwidth. Well...I am just sharing my two cents and hope that something might come of it and benefit Webringo.  

 

Talk to ya's again!
