More topics

About a week ago our reader Chris told us that he missed being able to browse by specific topic right from the frontpage (as did a few other anonymous commenters on the site). We thought about it for a while, did the coding, and finally it is up on the site for everyone to use an enjoy → the fabulous "Choose Topic" button (pictured right)! Now, each of the 20 topics featured on the site is one click away, and, in fact, we'll add a few more topics in due time.

You may notice an additional link in the topic menu that says "Other topics & keyword search". If it seems out of place, let us explain why it is there. The link points to our search page which is much more than a simple search page. It allows to search for things that aren't explicitly categorized on the site, but might be interesting for researchers and thoughtful readers, and allows to subscribe to search results via RSS feeds. For instance, one can search for "education technology", "racism"(which we do not endorse) or "mobile technology" and receive updates each time a story about this subject appears on Polymeme.

P.S. you may have noticed that the dropdown menu has been inspired by the 37signals Basecamp Project Switcher - we are using Basecamp to manage out projects and we love it!

P.P.S. The easiest way to get in touch with us is to use the Contact page or by leaving comments on the blog. Thank you Chris for your email about the topics menu.
