Like the layout your suggesting Lorelle.<br>
<br>
It's clear, clean and easy to understand. Very understandable
headings. <br>
<br>
I think one of the more difficult parts will be how many links there
will be under each heading, and where they will direct to. <br>
<br>
So far, so good though. <br>

I've started a user page for us to work on this
together. For many years, I've wanted a simple,
clean "What do you want to do with WordPress?"
feel, much like the Windows ad campaign years ago.
We need to funnel people to the areas of the Codex
where they can find the help they need, so let's
make it really easy. <br>
<br>
I've been working on the answer to that question
over the years and it boils down to those few
answers. Take a look and see what you think. Do
you feel the same way? Then let's start looking at
how we can group the subcontent together to keep
this clean and simple. <br>
<br>
Thanks! <br>

Now that I'm not on my cell phone<br>
<br>
If anything, the layout is … terrible. It's
too much information, not laid out in any
helpful way. As with WikiPedia, most users
start in the middle of the Codex. A search
for 'WordPress how do I make a theme' comes up
with <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development"
target="_blank">http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development</a>
first, which is as it should be ;) A Wiki's
not a book (says my mentor over and over
again).<br>
<br>
We should revert to what we had and THEN go
forward and rebuild it. Except that I went
back to the Before shot and it was this: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=108003"
target="_blank">http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=108003</a><br>
<br>
That too is way too much information and not
enough organization. If it's more than a
couple scrolls, no one's going to read it.
I'd break it out so 'Getting Started' is the
brunt of the page. We have a lot of links
going to subsections of pages, which either
means each link should be a page of it's own,
or we trust they're going to read. The amount
of duplicated information is adding to the
length, and it's almost overwhelming for me,
and I know what I'm doing most of the time ;)
(And I lie well the rest of the time!)<br>

<br>
After I yanked out all the dupe info, there
was a lot less going on. I left off the
"Developer" stuff, as that really should be
it's own page. Actually, most of that stuff
should go on the FAQ pages, where a cursory
skim shows most of the info, with links,
actually is already.<br>
