We all have ideas about how Triond could be improved, but I figured that I should publish my suggestion ideas here, so that I could get the input of other users. Rather than send them in privately to Triond, I figured that they could be developed here to cater for the largest number of Triond users. As such, here are my suggestions for Triond.
Triond Forum
While commenting on articles and private messages on the Triond website are great, I believe it would be absolutely wonderful if Triond had a website hosted on the Triond website. It would be particularly useful if the login to the forum was connected to the Triond website, so we wouldn't need to login separately each day. This would allow members of Triond to talk to each other on more general issues, as opposed to talking about individual articles. Successful Triond writers could also post some advice in the forums for all the other members looking to improve their writing or increase their Triond income.
Triond Chat
While this wouldn't be too important if there was a forum on the Triond site, I still think that a Triond chat would be a very beneficial application on the site. It would allow quick communication between all members that are online at any one time, and would be a very simple element to implement on the site. It would also allow more experienced writers to teach newer members to use the site effectively.
User Statistics
I think it would be very beneficial for a lot of writers to be able to see more information on their account. A graph, showing views of articles per daya over the last 15-30 days. This would allow people to monitor their progress on the site. Daily graphs on account earnings and earnings per article would also be useful, as they would allow us to see which articles are the most successful, which day of the week we earn the most money, and which type of article pays the writer the most in royalties.
The daily earning per article would be useless to you, becuase there are certain kinds of income from ads that is only put into your account every week, and some even just end of month. So if you have a feeling you earned more that special day, it's becuase you reaped in the work of days gone by as well.
If you want to check on that, make a little excel sheet and monitor your articles, your hits, and the income for a time. You'll see these jumps quite clearly then.
