I never liked blog formats, especially for a professional website. I just don’t like how it feels like it was made by some random guy, it has that stigma of a blog.

One of the best things about Bitmob is that it’s a website where the community writes the content. But I am disappointed it doesn’t look like a big website. It just looks like a blog with multiple writers.

So here’s a very very quick, cheap, inaccurate mock-up of what I had in my mind. It’s more upfront on content, not just the latest articles, but everything as a whole.

Instead of just choosing which articles to go to the front page, they will be chosen by giving them a headline at the front page. The staff articles and the user articles are separate but equal, you know which one is which, but they aren’t shoved to a corner.

And to work as a big website with a lot of viewers, the tabs allow users to search for the content made accross the history of Bitmob without having to click previous posts repeatedly or have use the search engine to find an article they really wanted to see.

What’s more, if you are a wrtier, you can view the original blog style of the original Bitmob on your Profile, so it’s more of a blog atmosphere if you work better that way. Kinda like the opposite side of the stage curtain.

I love Bitmob as it is now, but I just felt like taking this out of my chest, and I can do that because this is Bitmob! What do you guys think?
