Daily Elements of Wired's Home Page


As I continue to examine Wired.com regularly, it becomes more and more clear just how extensive the magazine's online content really is. The website is constantly being updated with new blogs, vidcasts and all kinds of web exclusive content for the site.

One particular content item on their homepage that changes daily seems to be the items above the menu bar. This content can vary from blog posts to photo galleries. It seems like the reason these stories play such a dominant role on the website's homepage is to not only encourage viewers to see these new items first, but also because the pieces that appear on this website's "top fold" seem to best exemplify this magazine's readers and what kinds of stories these readers look to Wired for.



The website also regularly updates its other sections, especially, the video and blogs, what appear to be two very popular aspects of the magazine's website. (However, I'd be interested to find more research and statistics to verify this.)
