(1) How often do you visit the site?
Seldom. Not as much as I should I am being honest because when Id o visit I like to have a good look through and read most of the articles on offer. I would say I probably visit the main site about once a week sometimes more but sometimes never at all.
(2) Once on the site, do you browse, or just take a fleeting glance?
I like to browse and read the most updated articles. I especially like to read the blog entries.
(3) Do you have blondepoker.com set as your browser’s homepage?
No. I don’t know why though because it’s the first place I head when on the net – well to the forum anyway. But as my ISP is changing from wanadoo to Orange soon - on a matter of principle I think I may change my home page to Blonde – my future is most definitely not Orange.
(4) Which sections do you frequent the most?
I visit the forum on a daily basis, but from the main site I like to read the blog entries.
(5) Which sections do your frequent the least?
Where to play section, as I’m based in Glasgow the choice is limited as to where I would play so I tend to find this info on the main forum under live games.
(6) Which are your favourite sections?
Overall the forum is definitely the best thing Blonde offers. With regards the main site well as stated throughout I am more interested in the Blog entries. I also like to read up on t he events that have taken place.
(7) Which sections do you think are a waste of time and perhaps worthy of deletion?
Where to play – simply because it is of no interest to me.

Do you like the content we offer? If ‘no’, why?
In the main I think the content is very good. Could be updated more regularly though sometime some of the articles are a bit dated and these could maybe be stored in an archives section.
(9) Are there any sections which you believe should be advertised on the homepage, rather than just located in the menu bar?
I would like to see the home page cleaned up –its far too busy and too much going on with it. If it where me I would have one menu bar that takes you into each section rather than having it all sub-divided.
(10) What are your thoughts on the current design? Do you approve? What changes would you make if this were your responsibility?
Far too busy, it needs to be cleaned up in order to make it easier to navigate. I prefer websites to be clean and user friendly, although once on the main site you know where to look for what but if you’re a new user its very sore on the eyes.
(11) Has the relaunch of the site been a positive step forward? If ‘no’, then why do you think this is?
I don’t really have an opinion on this as I wasn’t a regular visitor to the old site.
(12) Would you use a weekly poll located on the homepage which asked various questions? (eg, Which of the following is your favourite poker book?)
Most definitely. I love polls. But I would also have a link from the forum to the poll so we got as many views as possible.
(13) What would you like to see the site offer that it doesn’t currently have?
I can’t think of anything just now.
(14) How would you feel if blonde were to get rid of the site altogether, just leaving the cardroom and the forum? Would you miss it at all?
I wouldn’t be in favour of this. Although I don’t visit the main site that often when I do it provides me with a few hours of reading material.
(15) Finally, do you have any further comments or suggestions regarding the blonde site?
No.
