[tantek]2 There's been just enough questions about wanting to see indieweb sites that I am wondering rather than a directory (which takes multiple clicks) if a "random site on the IndieWebRing" would work
# [tantek]2 also thinking of reversing the Join the IndieWeb vs Join the Community sections on the sidebar
# [tantek]2 somehow I spaced on the fact that most people want to explore something or check it out a bit before "joining"
# [tantek]2 I'll try a sidebar revision/re-organization and then let folks here be the judge. Can revert if anyone thinks it's not as good
# [tantek]2 I'm dropping the podcasts link because the stuff on the page is not "recent" any more (many of the examples have their most recent episode years ago)

tantek.com edited /MediaWiki:Sidebar (-31) "re-organize into Explore then Join, drop podcasts (links there are years since an ep), add IndieWeb ring random site" (view diff)
# [tantek]2 gRegor, interesting. I wonder if more people go looking under the 3 bars menu, or if more people read it when it's open in a sidebar
# [tantek]2 either way, feedback welcome whether this makes more/less sense than before, or if link could better re-ordered within a section, or clearer microcopy etc.
# tantek.com edited /MediaWiki:Sidebar (+0) "bump principles to the top, good way for someone to quick check to see if that resonates "why" etc." (view diff)
# [tantek]2 This "feels" better overall (more welcoming to explorers?) but also feels like it could be tweaked further, like not quite sure of all the orders of all the things in each section. Would appreciate any suggestions
# [tantek]2 I hope [schmarty] is ok with the Sidebar directly linking to IndieWebRing random site

[schmarty] Sure! Good luck to all visitors!
# [tantek]2 And to all those to be visited! May the indieweb odds ever be in your favor!
