Having verification issues?

Posted by Aoife Hammersmith, at Monday, August 11 2008

Having problems? Being the kind of people we are, you know, trying to help you save a bit of time and energy, we get automated feedback every time someone looks to download our logs. Well, at least the ones from books you have to verify you have your hands on. We’ve noticed a few things, and I thought we’d address them here, in case you find you’re having the same issue(s).

People verify the book more than once.

Assuming you were approved for download of protected files, you only need to do this once. If you’ve gotten approval and find yourself needing to verify a second time for a product, simply try refreshing the page. You likely have a cached version of the page that thinks you haven’t verified yet.

People enter the wrong information for the product verification.

Please be sure to note that we’re asking for a specific page and line number. Punctuation and capitalization are not an issue, but spelling and typos are. If you’ve entered correct information and you receive an error, please let us know. The typo could have been our fault without realizing it. While we’ve checked and double checked, at least once we’ve found a mild case of dyslexia, so there could be more. We will be making small changes here and there to make things a little easier.

Now there's a newsletter

Posted by Otto Hammersmith, at Monday, June 30 2008

One of the things I turned on over the weekend was the Newsletter. Basically a mailing announcement list. You can sign up for the newsletter using this form.

I had been planning on using that to send out a mass mailing to everyone who had requested New Rules or New Rules for Women logs over the last few months letting them know about it. Then it came time to write that email and I realized that I had nothing to really say.

So, then, we’re not really sure what the newsletter is for. It’s definitely for site update, but probably only the major ones. There certainly won’t be lots of messages, maybe one a week.

That said, we have a new privacy policy to go with the newsletter. At least you’ll know what we intend to do with your email address. The gist, nothing except the newsletter and site administrative, like resetting your password.

Six months and just getting started

Posted by Otto Hammersmith, at Wednesday, June 25 2008

Sunday marks six months from when we first launched werkit.com. We’ve added some new forms, tweaked things here and there but haven’t really added any real new features. Well, we’re about to start.

The first is probably the most basic. Well… um, you’re reading it right now. This blog hopefully will be a helpful addition. It will be a source of news, information and even some articles on how we’re using the forms ourselves. Naturally, there’s an RSS feed so it’s easy to keep up with the changes.

We won’t say much about what we’re planning on now, but this is the first place we’ll start to reveal what’s up our sleeves.

Anyway, some stuff about the the last six months.

Lots of pages served up, coming up on 15k. Close to 3500 folks have come to the site. Probably the most surprising statistic to us is the 700+ downloads of the just the blank weightlifting log form.

To wrap up, if you have any suggestions or thoughts on what you’d like to see on werkit.com use the feedback form and we’ll see what we can do.
