| What would your dream CoD fansite contain? Think big! Anything
goes. An RSS feed. |
There is one! It's on the main page near the bottom.
|
| If you answered '3' or more in the previous question, how would
you improve it? your rss feed does some weird things. The latest stories don't
show on the top. I have to routinely check for new additions instead of them showing
at the top of the feed |
Fixed. |
| What would you like to see more of? As many old articles
and bits as you can find. |
I will work on that ::added to list:: |
| What would you like to see more of? A political section
; he seems to be garnering more and more attention in this arena. I like his work
but I am more interested in his political thoughts and as to whether or not the
supposed political aspirations floating around are truly his own. |
This is an excellent idea...I'll add that to the
list of updates... |
| What would your dream CoD fansite contain? Think big! Anything
goes. A blog - perhaps twitter feed. |
Actually I do have a twitter feed!

COMMENTS BELOW CAME FROM A PREVIOUS SURVEY

| Rollover menus It's good. |
Rollover menus are indeed good unfortunately they
don't work as well as drop-down menus when there are alot of sub-sections to each
main sections...if that makes sense. |
| The one thing I forgot to mention in the survey is the font size,
I'd love it a tad point size larger. |
You can enlarge the size of the font by choosing
VIEW and TEXT SIZE and adjusting the size in your browser toolbar. |
|
Well, I think the sections are hard to find. I dont really like that drop-down
thing. Having a different way of finding things. I dont know. I just dont really
like the drop down. Sections are not clearly defined. Sections I really like-
more information on tours.
I really like your site- It might be even better than Eddie's main site (EddieIzzard.com).
I love all of your information.
|
There are text links at the bottom of the page to each major section. So you
can use those if you don't like the drop down menus. I'm using drop down menus
only because it's the most efficient way (at least that I can think of) to organize
all the information on the site.
The site is broken down into different sections. Once you're familiar with it,
it shouldn't be too difficult to find your way around. I tried to organize it
as logically as possible. There are also search boxes in various parts of the
site as well as a SITEMAP.
Information on current tours are updated HERE under
CURRENT TOURS as they become available. If there is no information, there's not
alot I can do about that.
|
| Can't think of anything layout seems fine to me, I would love
some more sounds (some no longer work on the sounds page) and some more video
clips, wallpapers, etc. I love downloadable things. |
Well, I'll see what I can do to add more downloadable
things in the next few weeks. Or months. Soon. I hope. |
| Would like to know the balance of use UK/US - it feels like mostly
American use? |
It's mostly US from what I can tell...maybe I should
post a poll. But here's a list of countries that have visited: 
|
| The only problem I've ever had was trying to figure out how to
get back to the main page after having browsed through the photos section, wasn't
obvious, but I finally figured it out. |
You should be able to get back to the main site using
the text links at the bottom of the gallery page. |
|
changeexplain: I have no navigation problems A few too many sections, particularly
the photo gallery. I think maybe all of Eddie's appearances on a certain show
should go into one album (such as Parkinson, Leno, Conan O'Brien etc.).
comments: I do not think it is necessary on the groovy news page to summarize
the movies that will be airing. I also don't think it is necessary to list who
he will appear with on a particular talk show. I think you should just list the
show titles and air dates. It would be less work for you and you will have more
room to list more appearances at the same time.
|
The gallery is actually split up by shows. If you go into the BROADCAST album,
it's split up by individual shows.
I list additional guests so people can see if it's a show they've seen before
for example, he was on Jonathon Ross multiple times and the only way to tell which
episode is by the guestlist.
I list all of his media appearances as they are made available regardless of
space.
|
navigation: easy
confusing explain: Because its difficult to find where the transcripts for dressed
to kill are at, infact i had to re-google your site in order to get to it
change explain: More appropriate or updated links sections too cluttered and not
defined |
I added more direct links in the navigation bar to the various "FUN"
sections including the transcripts.
If you can't find something I can't stress enough to use the SITE
MAP or the site's search feature located in the NEWS
or UPDATES sections. Both would've taken you there.
|
| "Wouldn't really change anything. Maybe a non-pull down menu
for those who don't like those? " |
There are text links at the bottom of each page (most
pages) that corresponds to the major sections of the pull-down menu. You should
be able to access the submenus from links within each major section. For example,
if you go to the STAGE & SCREEN section, you can go to each sub-section i.e.
Blueberry, Joe Egg, 40, etc. |
|
"Too many sections broken up and hard to locate stuff/not clearly defined.
I do not like the fact that I click on something and I am directed out of this
web site.
I love the fact you have an Eddie website. I want more info on tour dates
in the United States. That is mainly why I visit this web site. "
|
Since there is so much information in this site, the easiest and most logical
way to present the material is to split it up into sections: movies, stand up,
news, updates, bio, gallery, etc. If you're new to the site or looking for something
specific, you should visit the SITE MAP section. You
can also use the search functions in the NEWS or UPDATES
sections.
Outside links are necessary, not much I can do about that. I have outside links
open up into new windows so you can easily find your way back to CoD.
When he tours the US, the info is put up. When he doesn't, it's not. He doesn't
always tour so that's not info I have any control over.
|
| "The 'Stuff that doesn't fit under a heading' part doesn't
need to be on the main news page, and it's usually screencaps and transcripts,
for the most part. I think those can be put somewhere else and under appropriate
titles." |
True dat, true dat. Most of the info can be found
under other links but aren't as easily accessible but now that I look at it, I
can probably clean up that list a little bit. |
| "Too many steps to get to where you're going. Direct the
visitor directly to the news section. The design is maybe a bit messy... too many
things on the same page etc, but the contents are great." |
You can access the NEWS section from the drop down menu bar on any page or
the text link at the bottom of the page. One click.
If things weren't consolidated on one page, this site would be about 1,000
pages.
|
| "I would love to see the current stand up schedule for 2004
or maybe a glimpse into 2005." |
Me too! But Eddie doesn't tour every year unfortunately.
He seems to be doing smaller venue gigs in spurts and you can see those in the
NEWS section. |
|
"...well, the site updates and groovy news seem a tad redundant. Media
watch could be sub-headed for US and UK, so that a quick glance can tell me if
there is something I can see on telly with Eddie involved...could the newest update
be in a different colored print or something like that to distinguish the newest
from the not so newest?
I am glad that you update the look and the homepage every few...months? More
of that would not be unwelcomed...it lets me know right away that you have been
attending to the site."
|
SITE UPDATES list changes to the entire site. Not
all changes show up in the NEWS area (like pictures
being added, links updated, new games, etc.) For example, the only way people
will know this page is updated is in the SITE UPDATES
section and not in the NEWS area.
Each media listing has either a (US) or (UK) designation. The listing is rarely
long enough that it wouldn't take literally a few seconds to pick out listings
in your area.
The newest updates are at the top of the page (in both SITE
UPDATES and NEWS sections). If something is updated
in the NEWS section, it usually has UPDATED
next to it.
You just have to look at the SITE UPDATES section
to see something new is added almost every day :)

| "I wish the pictures were easier to find. I looked at the
O12 pics when they were first posted through a link on email, but couldn't find
them when I wanted to see them again... I didn't know you had a tip jar." |
I'm trying to move all the pictures for the site to one central location in
the SCRAPBOOK section.
The Scrapbook Gallery is divided into sections: Stand Up, Movies, Broadcast Specials,
Fan Photos and the all important Miscellaneous. You can also find photos by going
to that particular section of the site, there's a link in the O12 (Ocean's 12)
section to the Ocean's 12 Photo gallery.
The Tip Jar is located in the NEWS and the FAQ
section.
|
| "Sometimes there are links that out of date, you can't access
an older link address for audio or video. " |
With 339 pages, it's hard to keep track :) If you
come across a broken link, simply email me using the navigation menu up top or
the FEEDBACK form and it will get fixed. I try to
go through the major parts of the site every few months, if I'm lucky. |
| "It's easy to tell when articles have been added to the site.
But it would be helpful to know the publication date of the article." |
I try to put the publication date, author and source
on the actual article and then the date it was added to the site on the link (in
the MYTH section). I'll try to be better about doing
that though. I think I was mighty lax in the beginning or during the tours when
I was adding 2-3 articles a day. |
| " I like the calendar idea, but the calendar is too big to
print." |
Set your printer to "landscape" so it prints sideways..you
may have to set your margins to .25" so that it prints on one page |
| "The color, looks like baby poo brown." |
That was the look I was going for. Thank you. |
| "The only problem, if one can call it that, that I've had
is sometimes getting into the right photo gallery. But that could be more my problem
than the website problem. Is there different menu driven sections for the photo
gallery?" |
The menu for the entire site is at the bottom of
all the gallery pages. The menu for just the gallery are located in the tables
i.e. links to different galleries (broadcast, fan photos, miscellaneous, movies,
etc.), next picture, last picture, etc. |
| " I thought you gave out free stuff from time to time-- I
want a turn!!" |
I was giving out free stickers but it proved to be
too cost prohibitive this year. But you can buy a sticker at the CoD
CABANA for a few bucks which also helps support the site. |
| "Links, I think they should be more organized than just being
alphabetized." |
Et, VOILA. |
| "The one thing I've wondered about is why does the Beehive
message board get it's own special link? I seem to remember you used to have a
page listing lots of different Eddie groups and message boards, like the links
page. Where'd that go?" |
The Beehive board was an off-shoot of the old Official
board and used regularly by older fans (not in age, you know what I mean). If
you click on "THE HIVE" it'll take you to the page you are talking about.
The ones I listed separately are the most frequently visited. |
| "Hard to tell what's new - feels like it has 2 front pages
- links are irritating to access. Make the "new" stuff more obvious Only use one
front page and click through from that to the page with news on it. On that news
page, have links to all of the other pages." |
Simply bookmark the WELCOME page instead
of the SPLASH page. The "new" stuff is always
listed on the UPDATES page. Not all updates appear
on the NEWS page so you should always go to the section
marked RECENT or SITE UPDATES which will list all new
additions to the website. You should be able to access any page/section from any
of the main sections and not just the NEWS page. |
| "Put a new tour schedule on there. New photos would be nice
too. I like the site. Just can't seem to find anything that isn't from 2003 or
later." |
If you can't find anything (or have a question) a good place to
start would be the FAQ section. In fact, the first question/answer
deals with touring (he's not). As for new photos, check the SCRAPBOOK,
UPDATES (for new additions made to the site) and NEWS
for the latest. |
| "... and have a section devoted to eddie interviews that
he's done. " |
There's a small section on the left-hand site of the NEWS
section that has linked to different interviews. |
| "...only complaint is the skull and crossbones graphic at top of site...surely
not eddie's style?" |
The crossbones are actually candles...my lame attempt at Cake (candles) or
Death (skull)... |
| "Make a listing for galleries...I wanted to see a particular photo of
Eddie that I'm sure I saw on this site, but would have had to go through so many
photos to find it" |
The best I could for now is to have them separated into categories. I'll probably
start work on some sort of search function which isn't the best right now. There
are over 2,000 images in the gallery so listing them would be nearly impossible. |
| "I find it a bit confusing that the hive etc... are all under "the shoes"
in the menu bar. I know where they are but I just can't work out why they should
be there. " |
Lack of space. Initially the tag line for CoD was "The Man, The Myth,
The Shoes" and it looked cool reading that across the menu bar so I kept
it. But yeah I was kind of using "SHOES" as a catch-all category. |
| "Maybe more of the Fun Stuff." |
I'll be adding a new game soon called "Who Wants to Be An Executive Transvestite?"
and new wallpaper. If you have specifics in mind that you'd like to see, let me
KNOW. |
| "...however sometimes the articles are "scanned" and they are not easy
to read. I'd like to see more articles." |
Articles that are scanned and hard to read are usually transcribed. I try
not to scan articles for that reason but those that are, I try to make them as
big as possible without making it SO large that it takes forever to download.
Changing your screen resolution might help a bit. |
| "The current brown is a little depressing..." |
It's not brown, it's a muted shade of maroon!! I didn't want to make the background
TOO bright or it would overshadow/clash with the main section. But I'll keep that
in mind. |
| "...the type on the very bottom is kind of small for my old eyes." |
The text navigation at the bottom of the page is only a backup for the drop
down menu at the top of the page. The drop down menu should be easier on your
eyes. |
| "When I'm in the photo gallery, there should be a live link to other
sections. " |
Just added that. |
| "New postcards needed! The sections are not necessarily well-labeled--I
remember I needed to ask you how to get into momochat." |
Just updated the POSTCARD section. I'll
try to rotate the pics more regularly.
If you're looking for something on the site, use the drop down menus first
(they're the most descriptive of what's in each section), or try the SITEMAP
or the SEARCH function.
|
| "On the whole, it is VERY easy to navigate here. The exceptions are the
myth page (can't get back to where you were easily)..." |
If you click on the Eddie icon at the top of the left hand column, it'll take
you back to the main myth page where the navigation links are at the bottom of
the page. The drop down menus don't work on this page for a variety of reasons.
I just added a text link since it wasn't very clear to begin with. |
| "The Shoes - gorgeous as they are, the page doesn't do much of anything.
If the photo thumbnails were links (to whatever) it would be more interesting." |
Good suggestion, check it OUT. |
