One site or two? And which name?!? micro.chrisjwilson.me
@ChrisJWilson If there is similar contecnt in between the two, both are about creativity plus yes, managing one is beteer and much easier… so count my vote for one site 😁
@ChrisJWilson Perhaps Learn Create Share, since it kinda embodies what both sites are about? Or maybe a rebrand.
@ChrisJWilson As requested, some opinionated opinions: With both sites focused on sketchnotes, I would lean into that and put everything onto Sketchnote Classroom. That title immediately communicates what the site is about but is general enough that it shouldn’t limit you. I also find Sketchnote Classroom’s design far more appealing than Learn Create Share. LCS doesn’t seem to have a focus as it is a wall of text and links that bounce you all over the place. (My first impression was, “Is this just a newsletter? Is this a link blog?” etc.)
Sketchnote Classroom is a nice pair of nouns that self-defines what the site is. It sounds like a project/product.
Learn Create Share is a strong set of verbs that promise the visitor can interact with the website for their own benefit.
@gregmoore thank you for opinionated opinions — the best kind. It shows some things I felt (like the confusion over what is what) are apparent to other people!
I need to make some design changes regardless but I really appreciate all your thoughts.
@gregmoore Not at all. Tough feedback is good! “it’s fine” is the kind of stuff of nightmares! What can you do with that!
@ChrisJWilson I’m going to take the lazy approach … I agree 100% with what @gregmoore wrote. To me it’s immediately obvious what the SC site is about while it take a some time to parse the LCS site and I really miss some graphics on that site.
@gr36 It was, but was also trying to get another friends quote in. So win-win.
We’re well here. It’s been a bit of a funny time with lockdowns and some family drama but nothing major.
@gr36 I suspect you are right. I know that I avoid online activities more now, but with the winter and earlier evenings, it’s harder to spend time outside. I suspect the increase in cases adds some extra gravity to the current lockdown too. Still, we will continue.
by the way, did I miss your podcast coming back? I saw you mention it’s coming return but don’t remember seeing it go live.
@gr36 I really understand. I’ve really appreciated my break from major content creation (and yet, I’ve still done some stuff for friends!)
make sure you let me know if/when it does come back. BUT no pressure from me. Do what is best for you.
