Major Reorganization of the MelindaVerse Site

Just like a fine wine, the beautiful Melinda Gordon just keeps getting better with age. Sadly, the same cannot be said of the MelindaVerse web site. Since we started almost a year and a half ago, the site has grown like topsy turvy and it is showing its age. So it’s time for some cosmetic surgery -- a little botox here, a tummy tuck there and an eyelid lift somewhere else. All to make it easier for you to use the site.

When we created the site at the beginning of season two, we did not know what would be the focus of interest. And as we kept adding things, it became clear that some of our original topics had expanded greatly while others just sat there. For example, we had a major topic “Credits” which hardly had any changes while “News & Views” which had lots of entries was buried on the main page. Something had to be done.

So our first change to the site is a major reorganization. The new design has five major areas: the MelindaVerse, People, Episodes, News & Views, and Miscellaneous. The MV main page has been simplified and many pages have been moved to create what we believe is a more logical arrangement. For example, the cast, crew, and writer/director topics have been consolidated into a single major topic, “People.” Also, many of the things like the glossary and time line which used to be attached to the main page have been moved to the Miscellaneous topic.

We hope you find these changes make the site more usable. In any endeavor like this there are sure to be a few errors introduced. Please notify Chief Rodney of any you find.

Our next change to the site will be to improve some of the pages that have become cumbersome to use like the promotional images and the episode list. We are also working with Chief Rodney to improve the overall look of the site. As always, all your comments are gladly accepted.
