I hope not. I just like to see people realize their full potential, so I am being blunt with my constructive criticism. The guy is prolific with development and very passionate at his subject, and if he figures out design he'd get many times the readers.

No, that's not what I meant.

Old Gil wrote "Go get yer shinebox". Then I wrote, "you insulted him a little bit". Both are quotes from Goodfellas - cause of my handle, Johnny Two Times.

I'm gonna go get the papers - get the papers.

Two-Times,
Your site was awesome, then you changed the blogs around, why was that? Used to have BinJellonamdo, Korea Beat, and Marmot, now you have some much crappier blogs.

Hey Azzwell,

I've received both positive and negative feedback about switching around the blogs in the expat section on the main page. The reason I did this was because I wanted to provide a spotlight for lesser known sites. In June, I'm bringing back some of the major blogs to the main page because we now have sub-sections. But, I'll continue to leave at least one slot open so I can profile new sites.

I'm happy to be included again, but I liked being on the front page. I'm no longer in Korea, it's true, but I got bumped because I was apparently not updating like I used to. However, I post a lot more than the blogs that replaced me.

I think being on the frontpage, along with the other big, frequently-updated blogs, provided a better overview of what was in the news and the blogs for the first-time visitor, true to the site's name. But what the new version does do is provide a big resource for people looking to start reading a few blogs. It's much easier to dig through than the Korea Blog List, and provided the bloggers write post titles that are somewhat descriptive, people can get a nice preview of the blogs without having to click through each one.

Smee,

I agree with you - the main page should be a place which provides a snapshot of what's happening in Korea - that's the best way I can serve visitors. Starting June, you and the Marmot are back on the main page. The other two slots I have not decided on yet.

Thanks for your feedback.

We just added ROKetship and some of the more popular blogs to the front page. As always - suggestions are welcome.
