The AndroidSPIN 2011 site has launched and we are really excited and happy with the results. We’ve also had excellent from you guys, which is the most important to us. Some of the older posts are not formatted very well for the new layout, but we are working through everything and trying better ways to present you the information. Please be patient with us, it’s a lot of work.
We are also trying very hard to work out the best look for our home page and a few people have said they would prefer a list of the latest articles at the bottom instead of the view as it currently stands split up into categories.
The top section will stay the same with the “Spotlight” section and “The Latest” showing our top 4 categories, but the bottom section is where we are undecided.
Currently the articles are shown in chronological order, but they are split up into the main categories we have defined on the site. This view does not show when the article was posted, so it’s not easy to tell if it was written today or a previous day. I do agree that it’s nice to have a chronological list showing every article posted, but I also really like the articles broken down into categories making it easy to just look for ROM Releases or hardware related articles. Although, you can easily perform this same action yourself using the categories drop down menu at the top of the site.
Take a look at the 3 option available for you below and then cast your vote in the poll down at the bottom of the article and we will tailor the home page view according to the votes of the community.
Option A: Feed Section Split into Categories
AndroidSPIN 2011 Feed Section By Category
Option B: Latest News in a List
AndroidSPIN 2011 Latest News List
Option C: Latest News in Boxes
AndroidSPIN 2011 Latest News Box
Loading …Don’t forget to cast your vote and help us make AndroidSPIN one of the best sites in the Community. Over the next few days we will alternate the bottom view so you will be able to see it live on the site.
If you would like to provide even further feedback with a chance to get a little reward for your time, that option is available also. Stormy just put a two day contest into effect offering 7 lucky readers a chance to snag 30 gold coins to be used in the new Android game Crime Story, check it out.

you can go back to the list style like the old site and just have different category’s on top the page to sort them. you have to many boxes goin on this page, and to many category’s. or atleast set up a way for every category to list view like the old way
Ermmm. That’s why we have this poll. Lol.
Looks fantastic. Can’t wait for the new layout.
