Poll: Should WDW Hire Bloggers? 197
Since Web Designer Wall launched last year, the feedbacks been encouraging. Recently though, a lot of complaints have come in that I don’t write frequently enough. Well, writing quality content takes time; plus I have to manage my freelance business and Best Web Gallery. Some people have suggested hiring guest bloggers to step-up posting frequency, which sounds interesting. So, please tell me what you think in the poll below:

it sounds like a great ideea, you should try a few weeks and see how it works :)
No, you should not hire bloggers because I don’t know how many people can write as good as you can.
I would rather have 1 quality article a week rather than 7 crappy ones.
Yes, I think you should introduce guest bloggers, however I would not encourage many of them, perhaps only a maximum of two, and you must ensure their blog posts are of an equal standard to yours, so you can’t be modest here Nick. WDW is such a great resource, and I , like many other do, visit here on a regular basis, and are on occasions disappointed there has not been any new blog posts. Of course it is understandable as you have mentioned above, but you have people in demand.
i voted YES :)
You may also consider hiring non-English writers like Arabic coz we really need that.. you rock dude
No. I can see other guys’ opinions by viewing their blogs. What makes me come to your website is your attitudes and your perspective towards web design. Plus quality is more important than quantity.
Please think it twice. -mingz
i didnt voted… but you should at least post once per week… its a blog. Once-twice a month like now is way not enough for me to remember you blog. But your co ntent is quality tough. Just still do the same thing, but once every 1 week… and every same week day (let say every monday for exemple).
(ok, if it looks big to you, then start at every two weeks then, but not more!)
On the other hand, we are freelancers and daily blog are too fast for me, cant read every day all my fave sites….
So my answer is NO – dont hire… but YES – more post (from you!!)
thanks! Keep rocking our web and design!
Great idea. Hire me.
I think you should have sound boards and have people post topics popular topics and others be able to rank those topics high or low for people to add to that topic.
well? whats the verdict?
Yes, I think you should hire a second (third) blogger but please make sure that the quality is equal to yours. I love your posts, I prefer the quality not the quantity ;-)
Yep I think it’s a good idea to try out; You’ve got a great hub here and as long as you can maintain quality, an increase in the frequency of posts would be something that’s make me visit a lot more often. Plus, adding a bit more diversity is never a bad thing. I had a brief stint of experience with http://www.sproutwire.com where we recruited a variety of posters to write some content for us – now, we weren’t hiring them because the entire project was a volunteer driven – but the end result was that during the more active part of the project we were able to get lots of great content on a daily basis. The key to keeping readers was that all content was screened by an editor to ensure quality and relevance. Hope that helps :) MakeDesign,NotWar
I prefer individual’s blog sites, It’s more personable to regularly read a blog knowing that each post is written by the same person, and if you enjoy reading the blog and get some good knowledge from it, then you know your not gonna be disappointed when you return.
Then again, blogs only work when you can post regularly so if your in a position to get someone else on board, then it may not be a bad idea.
i definitely think you should hire bloggers. webdesignerwall is an awesome site but sadly it takes 1875234523589 years for an update. that’s sad. as for the quality, i’m sure you’d be able to filter out the “post-worthy”. n_n more power!
I definitely think that the site should be updated.so sub sequently it’s become need for u to hire bloggers
Yup….
I think If you want to write qualitative content, you should take your time, then when you publish it, we will appreciate what you’ve written that much more
Conclusion?
The last thing I want to see is one of my favorite blogs being cluttered up with nonsense. We visit your blog because we value your experience and opinion. Those who are pushing for more content just for the sake of having something new to read should be redirected to any number of other web design blogs that happily focus on quantity before quality, there are far too many of those already.
Look, in all honesty I think that what you’re currently writing is great. I don’t know if anyone else that you could bring in would do as good a job.
Asides from this, I think it is good that there is a bit of time to breathe between posts. I’m not sure about everyone else, but there’s more than enough information out there to digest.
Certainly a little time to breathe between gulps of information might be refreshing? (which is what we have currently) If not, there are lots of other blogs / resources that people can turn to.
Keep it as it is :)
