I can’t reiterate enough how helpful and insightful our reader survey results have been.  From usability to editorial content to how you’re reaching us and beyond, the brief-ish survey covered a dozen topics important to WOM as we challenge ourselves to give you the best of the best, every day. And the findings have already been instrumental to shaping what’s in store for the blog.  While some feedback reinforced what we expected, other feedback opened our eyes to new, valid points a few I’d love to chat about for a moment.  

In terms of usability, we’re planning to increase font size, darken coloring and improve overall navigation through tagging, search, and a few key website updates.  We’ll be focusing on ways to make it even easier to “get the look” with easy, obtainable links of products (that are still in stock!).  And we get it—you hate the slideshows—so rest assured we’ll be unveiling an even better way to showcase that material to you soon. We’re knee-deep in a good mobile-friendly overhaul for all of our mobile and tablet readers out there as well. 

I could fall down a rabbit hole addressing each and every takeaway, (in fact we’ll be writing a few new posts inspired by your thoughts), but one takeaway I want to make sure I mention is around commenting.  I was so sad to learn that most of you don’t like to comment on blogs (ours or others) because you don’t feel you’re being heard or your opinions don’t matter.  While I can’t speak for others, I assure you that is not case here.  Kat and I read each and every comment, and we’re quick to pass around a feel-good moment and discuss those not so feel good moments to the entire team. Your thoughts, constructive criticism and opinions are always welcome here and truly means the world to us.  It’s that support and feedback that helps us keep hustling.

I want to thank you all again for taking the time to share your two cents with us.  The blog has grown and evolved in four years, and I personally can’t wait to see it continue to grow.  Truly, MKR

P.S. If you didn’t get the chance to complete the reader survey, you can do so here.  xo
