Cosmetic Changes in Web Site and Gemini Promotion

Gemini empahsis in techrights
Screenshot of the changes



Summary: We're going to make some site changes in an effort to improve the overall experience and provide more options

LAST night we started working on improved clarify at the bottom section of blog posts. We moreover added a Gemini directive to the headlines. The goal is to raise awareness of Gemini and increase its use. In the past 3 weeks we served about 150,000 pages over gemini:// and moreover we've improved the focus on communications over IRC. Topics are split better.



"The goal is to raise awareness of Gemini and increase its use."There will be several more minor or cosmetic changes to come soon, but we make the changes gradual and not considerable. It helps catch and understand bugs along the way.
