I just posted this blog entry - My Opinions on SitePoint?s Front Page?s Newsletter sign up section.

Quote:

Today I observed two things on SitePoint's Front Page's Newsletter Section -

1. They have no SignUp Form there and are making people visit another page to signup for theirnewsletters!!!

You really should be more inclined to make it easy for your visitors rather than making it difficult. And, here, SitePoint is doing the later.

2. Subscribe to a SitePoint Newsletter links to exactly the same page as the Newsletter Archives link does. This is plain confusing and when I first saw it, I thought that I had found a bug to be reported.

Notice though that each newsletter has a link to the latest issue. That way if someone is interested in maybe signing up they get to read an issue before deciding. And if they like what they read there's a signup form right there for them to subscribe. I think that's a good way to do it.

Then again, there should also be a quick way to subscribe for those who have already decided they want to.
