As you will have noticed, we're now using a new design and new blog software for Ask Jack. One of the things I asked for was the prominent display of a useful bit of information, which is that if you want to ask a question for publication, you must email it to Jack.Schofield (at) guardian.co.uk -- so I'm still working on that.
Sorry, there is no simple way you can ask questions online. I could provide a post to let you do that, but then I would not have your email address….
Posts
The big question now is how you would like to read posts. If you look down, you can see there are several options. I can show just the intro, or the intro and the query, or part of the post, or the whole post. Which is best?
Of course, if I publish whole posts, the "Most viewed" list becomes meaningless because there's no way to register the click that shows you viewed something!
Comments
Previously, you were not able to add comments to posts after four or five days. I think I have now extended that to 14 days. Is that too long, not long enough, or the right compromise?
What about old posts that pop up under Most Viewed?
Links
I put together a list of what I hope are useful sites under "Sites we like" on the right. They reflect the most frequently asked questions. Which sites are missing that really should be in there? (Which do you find most useful?) Are there any sites that you think should not be in there?
Any other thoughts? I'd appreciate some help ;-)
