Weddingbee Blog

I love how there are posts on the weekends now! I was actually just telling Jeff how excited I am because now I have new posts to read 7 days a week!

I love the current format; it seems close to perfect.

That said, I’ve got just a couple of teensy little ideas to consider. Maybe it’s just me, but it gets a bit tedius scrolling alllll the way down a page to check and see if new comments have appeared on posts I’ve replied to or especially like. Would it be possible to create a “my favorites” button or something?

Another idea to allow more posts/page or make each page shorter would be for the posts that have a ton of pictures to be truncated at some point, so you could have the option of clicking to see the entire post with all its pictures, or if you’re scrolling down looking for one in particular, or for whatever reason don’t want to see all of the pictures on a certain post, you can just skip scrolling past alllllll the pics in one entry.

Just my 2c, but again–I really think you gals (and guys!) are doing a fantastic job :).

i think a truncated post would be good now that we have so many posts in one day, it would be easier to just scroll down faster - but you risk having some posts overlooked. Also, some avid fans will probably read every post, so it would be a bit annoying to have to click on every post for the entire version.

so actually, now i’m on the fence with this one. hehe.

here’s a suggestion… maybe you can do the pages by days. so all the posts of one day are on the first page and then yesterday’s posts would be on the previous page… and so on. that way, we know exactly what posts are new and which ones are from the day earlier. it even makes it easier when you missed a day or if you are searching for a certain post, you can just go back in pages to find that day and that post.

i dont know, it sounds easier to me than scrowling through days worth of posts.

i agree with christie… can you please do a chicago version?

I love everything about Weddingbee. And no I’m not just saying that :-)! Yes I’d like to see more posts on weekends too. (But I understand that/if there isn’t since you guys deserve a break too when you worked so hard during the week). In regards to the truncated, posts I’m really indifferent either way. Well..what I’m really saying is that the current, “untruncated” version works just fine for me, since I’m one of those avid readers who read every post anyway. But I’m open to trying something new. Oh, and in terms of what feature I would like to see added to Weddingbee…I think this idea has been brought up before… how about a “My Favorite” or “My Archive/Scrapbook” where I can save all the posts that I like for my future, convenient reference. I’ve just been emailing those to myself. But I’d love to have a my storage thingy on Weddingbee.

I don’t think there’ll ever be TOO MANY posts! I love checking it…maybe religiously…every day at work. And it’s nice to have something to read on the weekends too,when I’m stuck at the office and bored.

I love the format, and since I read every post, I like being able to see all the pictures at once…so I say keep it as it is!

This site is so GREAT for inspiration!! I had never even really THOUGHT about painting an aisle runner until I saw a couple of entries in the DIY Contest, and now it’s something I’m definately doing. My wedding isn’t for a couple more years, so I love getting all these ideas…ahead of time!

Love the site so much, ladies.
But I agree…branch out! I’m about 90 mins from Chicago, so it’d be neat to have a weddingbee Chicago, even though I’m not having my wedding IN Chicago or anything (I’m in Michigan)…but that doesn’t keep me from reading this site more than any others…heh.

I’m rambling now, so I’ll shut up.

i’m not a fan as far as truncated posts is concerned. i find the act tedious, and i’d actually skip the posts all together, and just browsed thru the main page instead.

i like weddingbee as it is, cos i love the thrill of anticipation, i.e. keep scrolling down for more gems like pictures & it keep me on my tingly & ticklish toes.

now, what i would like to see more on the site are “DIY projects” and “gown features” - it could be wedding, cultural, BMs, even just evening gowns. Cos i’ve been very inspired with all the gowns the brides featured here at one point or another, i’ve been collecting ideas to tailor make all of them!

all that aside, here’s a giant kudos to u guys at weddingbee, keep up the wonderful work here!

Love the site so much! I’m also a multiple-times-a-day checker!

My only (minor) complaint is that when you leave a comment or click on a post that is NOT the most recent, after you submit it it bounces back to the top of the main weddingbee page, so you can’t see if anyone else posted a new comment while you were writing, or glance back at that page for any reason until scrolling wayyy back down to that post.

Also, it might be nice to have a “next” or “previous” button on each individual post page so you can go from one to the next reading comments on ALL posts sans scrolling!

Okay, not to overcomment but I just realized what the thing I was originally talking about was! When you vote in a poll, it pops you back up to the top of the page and then you have to scroll way down again to see what the results are! Okay I’m done with commenting now! (Oh and to address the original point of this post - I LOOOOOVE weekend postings!!!!)

Yes! Loove this site! I love following the various “stories” of how everyone’s coming along with their wedding decisions, and I love the opportunity to find new vendors and creative ideas. I agree with the previously suggested changes– changing how viewing the votes flips you back to the top of the page (annoying), and I don’t really read the celeb round-up unless I think it will have actual ideas for me (like Instyle wedding-type posts). I, too, would love to be able to save ideas in some sort of space on this page. (But that might not be possible!) Other than that, keep up the incredible work! This site rocks.
