Editing The Pen Addict 147/transcript (section)

== List Clarity ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, that was the goal in this update was clarity. Because it had kind of lost its way in the past year and was kind of, you know, didn't have a real definition on why this page existed. And I think this helped added clarity to that. And, you know, I'm definitely looking for feedback. And, you know, there's always more changes to be made. So, if you have any feedback, you know, definitely let me know. And I'm happy to talk about it and see when I can get implemented. But I'm happy with how it turned out. And we'll keep moving forward with it. And I'm happy to now be able to do some additional stuff on the regular blog post with my personal stuff, which I enjoy writing about that instead of just, like, blurbing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' One thing I'd like to see. More work for you. For there to be a header image for each category, which has, like, just one photo with all five items in it. That's not a bad idea. And, like, a little number under each item. Okay. Just so you can see them. I mean, again, it's not necessary. But I think it would be nice. I think it will help. I think it will help the visual flow of the page as well. True. Because I think some people might not know what they're looking for by the names that you give them or the names that they are called. But, you know, they might look at it and be like, oh, I know what that means. You know, maybe even, like, on a piece of paper, it's got a little squiggly line of demonstration of the line of whatever or something.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I think that's a great idea. And, yeah, so I'm going to need everyone to click on those buy links so I can now afford a photographer for all the extra work that Myke has just handed me. Cool, man. Cool, man.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But it's actually a wonderful idea. It's a crap ton of work. Just an ideas guy.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I basically just like to give you more work every time I look at this list.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Anytime you say photography, I cringe because that's just a crap ton of work. It's a lot of work. And I am so jealous of people who are, like, really good photographers, like the two people that write for the Pen Act, Jeff Abbott and Susan Pickett. They put me to shame and I love having them because I just drool over their photography. Your writing staff. Your team. My writing staff.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Editorial. Please, please never let them do illustrations.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Why? Because then we end up with crazy things.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We end up with crazy... Terrifying Brad eyes. Crazy rabies Brad. Rabies Brad. Oh, no. Oh, Brad. All right, man. Before I get in trouble, we should wrap this thing up.
