On Thursday, we pushed an update of the site online.
We changed or updated:
* The way video is stored
* The way your archives, PDFs, school information and staff pages displayed
And we made several internal changes.
As a result of this, we made PDFs, archives and some other things disappear briefly.
Some people are unhappy with aspects of this change, so I wanted to explain why we did it and what we are doing to improve it.
Search engine optimization is a buzzword that means making a site better able to be searched by Google, Yahoo and the like. In our case, optimized the site to bring as much to the front page as possible to improve our standings in the search engines. Experience tells us that what we did improves things. The higher we appear in search results, the more traffic we get.
At least one person has told me about her unhappiness with the result. So I am discussing with my developers ways to mitigate this and not make it so intrusive. We hope to have it in place for the next push.
If you are experiencing other unpleasant experiences on the site, please let me know about them -- at support@asne.org.
