Changes are a comin’ for ICYDK
I’m in the process of making some changes to ICYDK. Call it housekeeping if you will. I am making some changes – some you guys might not even notice. But I wanted to open it up to you – for suggestions. What would you like to see on ICYDK? What are your favorite/least favorite features? I’d love your feedback, but please be nice. 
How do you feel about the look? Layout?
I’d love constructive feedback, but don’t be too hard on me.

Hi Jocelyn,
I love your website. One suggestion…. when you post a series of pictures, it would be nice to be able to flip through them with a slide show type function…instead and opening and closing each one.
Keep up the good work

That’s atually one of the reasons why I’m upgrading. I’m hoping to have that feature very soon. Thanks for the feedback!

I agree with the comment about the pictures. My browser is mozilla firefox and your site doesn’t work as well with that browser as explorer. If I look at a picture and then go back I am not returned to where I was on the page.

Dont change the format since we have all become use to navigating it. It sucks when an update comes and you have to learn it all over again. Besides that, get rid off the pop-up that comes when you change your first page. Otherwise, great job and enjoy visiting. Thanks

Hey girl! I love your web page. In my opinion you should go on with the “guess who” and put everyday the “celebrity quote of the day”, that’s awesome!
On the other hand, maybe the advertisments are too big and the space for your news too small, so it’s “difficult” to concentrate on the pictures, because there is a mixture with the adverts.
Nothing else to addd, i love icydk. congrats!
please don’t change the logo! i love it!

I like your site, but it runs really slow. I haven’t had that problem with other blogs, but this one is just overloaded with ads and pop-ups.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
I like when you write your own reviews and have a little of your own in the story, I wish there was more than that. You seem like more of an adult and less of a jerk than a lot of the other bloggers.

i absolutely love your site and have turned a lot of my friends on to it as well. the layout is great, the CONTENT and writing is great, and it\\\’s just such a refreshing site. i completely understand that you need to put advertisements up, but i find that the ones over the pictures (especially those secret deodorant ones with the cartoon ladies that zoomed all over the page) are particularly annoying. it doesn\\\’t make me in the least bit interested in the product and i always x them out anyway. the gray ones at the bottom of a lot of the pictures are also bothersome, i always x out those to see the shoes! if they could be kept to the side that would be great, but again, i understand. but the most annoying of all of these – especially because like many people i view this at work, the ones with pop up audio are awful. we should be able to elect if we want to hear something instead of scrambling to mute the sound. but i absolutely love your site (and love that you would even consider feedback) and it\\\’s good enough to put up with these minor disturbing necessities.

I like your website a lot. I did like your original design a little better than the blonde girl. I thought the original was more unique, but it’s your site, do what you like…I’ll keep popping in and reading what you have up. I’m glad that you’re fixing the part of where you can return to the spot you were at instead at the top of the page again. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out.

I LOVE your site and look at it daily. I totally agree with the suggestions about the pictures. My other suggestion is to PLEASE STOP PUTTING ADS DIRECTLY OVER THE PICTURES!!! It is so annoying having to click on them to remove them. Like one other person said, I don’t pay any attention to the ad – it is simply a major annoyance.

“You seem like more of an adult and less of a jerk than a lot of the other bloggers”
I agree with llopy. I love this site because it’s A LOT classier than the other blogger’s sites. That is a huge plus. I will be happy with whatever you do with it.

Hi Jocelyn,
I like the layout, and the site is great. Would just like to see more of your personal commentary with the photos.
October 15th, 2009 at 1:35 am
hello! I love your website because it’s very partical with the top categories, when I’m looking for celebrities pictures I search the name and that’s very easy! and I like also the categorie “hot gossip” so I can see all the time the main news!
thanks!

Hello Jocelyn,
I love your website. The layout is great and I like the fact that you use colours. You are never mean in your comments but always respecful. I am French so English is not my mother tongue, but I understand everything.
Why don’t you write a little bit more personnal comments with the pictures? You seem to be nice and funny, so that would be great.
Keep up the good work!
October 15th, 2009 at 6:46 am
I agree with the slide show comment. the ads on the pictures is annoying also. other than that i really enjoy your site. i look in many time a day from…”work”….
thanks for helping me pass the day!

Hi,
I love your site as well, but would really love to see more posts. Of all the websites I visit yours always has the least amount of posts and its not updated as the day goes along, its like whatever I see in the morning is pretty much what stays there until the following day. So please more posts, more updates and I absolutely love your film reviews. Keep up the good work!

I love your site. Just two ideas. First get rid of the netflix pop-up when we click on the button to go to page two. Also, never ever have audio ads. Thanks and keep up the great work!
October 15th, 2009 at 7:49 am
Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions. A few things… First of all, the ads on the pictures. Paparazzi pictures have become so expensive that I can’t afford to pay for them anymore. Because (and only because) of those ads am I able to get all the pictures I do. I currently get photo’s from four different agencies. Without those ads, I would only be able to afford one – and ICYDK would have far less pictures.
Second, with the economy the way it is – all of my advertisers are paying me CONSIDERABLY less – which is why I had to amp up the ads. Please know I wouldn’t put ads on the site unless it were necessary – and it is necessary for me right now. SOme of the other sites have less ads – but they probably get more traffic, and can afford it. Once the economy gets better – or my traffic increases, I can problably reduce the amount of ads.
I appreciate everyone’s comments – I did read them all.

Hi there, I agree about more comments from you. Yours is the only site I can be certain there’s no vulgar language.
Please, don’t succumb to any of those annoying roll-over ads (you know when you get too close an embedded ad takes over the screen and you have to press close). Those ads are worse than pop-ups.
Thanks and can’t wait to try out the new site.
October 15th, 2009 at 7:55 am
I love your site.
The ads don’t bother me because I know you need the revenue from them, but the only one that bothers me is the netflix ad because the pop up freezes my screen and then opens in a second window.
Everything else is great!
October 15th, 2009 at 8:56 am
The best thing about your site is your pictures (and your mature comments). I don’t like that I have to click to close an ad when it’s over a picture though. Also, your site is the only one I go to that always automatically opens another ad in a separate window that stays open the entire time.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:11 am
Love reading your pages and I read every day but the pop ups are relentless, everytime i click to the next page,there is pop ups every single time and its super annoying.. as well, i cant do your quizzes cuz there are ads covering half of the questions.
October 17th, 2009 at 1:58 am
such a great site. i also close the ads at the bottom of the pictures to check out the shoes like @sienna.
but i understand you have to have them there to be able to pay for the pics, so not a big deal.
i actually don\’t mind that the photos are separate because sometimes converting to slideshow view means that you can\’t grab the pic (i love keeping them sometimes for my own reference).
i have no problem with the fewer posts too because you have work on top of blogging.
i would perhaps revamp the blog header. i am not a particular fan of the \"guess who\’s\" but that\’s not a big deal. however i really hate the security code needed to post comments. i know you put it in to prevent spammers, but even when i punch in the correct code it makes me do it again. good thing that doesn\’t reload the page because then i\’d have to retype my comment.
all in all, really minor things. a big fan of your blog, and it\’s one that i check very regularly. i\’ll even go back and make sure i\’ve gone through all the posts! keep up the good work!

sorry for the novel-sized comment!
