12 ways to turn your Web 1.0 site into a Web 2.0 site    

In this article, the author talks about 12 things you can do to turn your website into a web 2.0 friendly website. But because I do not have a personal web 2.0 site, let’s just use this blog as a model.

1. Replace esomething.com with MYsomething.com – Not applicable. I know there is an e (eisabainyo.net) in my domain name, but that’s only because it’s my name. :)

2. Increase 10px font to at least 12-16px font – Ticked

3. Change categories to tags – Ticked (I’m using catcloud plugin for WordPress)

4. Change your news section to a blog – Not application ‘coz the entire site is a blog.

5. Change email a friend to RSS subscriptionsSubscribe

6. Change bookmark this to social network this – I am using Add This!

7. Change user account to user profile – Not applicable

8. Change crappy hard-coded HTML to Semantic HTML with CSS – Ticked

9. It’s visitors not HITS! – Okaayyyyyy

10. Add comments – *Hint Hint* :P

11. Change esite.com?id=5235&sort=desc&useless=this &one%20more=still%20useless TO.. mysite.com/meaningful-title – Ticked

12. Change custom built site to open source CMSWordPress all the way!

  1. Hey there, notice the theme your site was built off of, and a buddy of mine did a site recently using the same base, thought you might find what he did with it interesting. http://www.circularlogicaside.com is the site.

    Stumbled on you from EntreCard. I enjoy what I read!

    This is a very biased blog post which in addition does not relate to the majority of websites out there.

    As well, 12. Change custom built site to open source CMS – This really pisses me off, just because you can’t code worth shit doesn’t mean others can’t make a hand coded web2.0 website.
