To categorize or not to categorize

[Boo Radley]

The freebies section is turning into one huge mess.

I’m thinking of splitting this section into categories, e.g.

Health and beauty freebies
Babies and Children freebies
Educational
Home and Garden
Home Office and Computers
Pets
Miscellaneous
etc.

What do you think? do u prefer a single page for all or should we categorize?

I prefer the single page for all...

I just think that would be too many categories to have to click in & out of for the amount of freebies that get listed here.

catergorize! some people might be finding only a specific kind of freebie..yes?

[dyamond_girl]

catergorizing would be much cleaner, and would make it easier to locate specific freebies

why not have both! a categorized section and keep the current one at the same time.

[Julie Andrews]

I like the idea of it being categorized... it would be much easier to find stuff that way.

CATEGORIZE!!! It'll be easier for members who post!

One of the other sites I belong to has both, a single page for freebies listed by day posted and categorized ones too. I like the catergorized ones then I can just go to ones that I am interested in.

categorized would make it so much easier to find the freebies that interest you

[iced_faerie]

Categorize for me...it'd be much more neater...and you should have someone to go through the freebies and see which ones are still valid, and which one's aren't..that'd help visitors to go through the freebie section

maybe an expiry date option too?

[Justine]

I don't think there is enough to be splitting it up.

I think I would like to see a thread for each week of freebies-ie if you find a freebie on Oct 19, it would go in the thread for Freebies Oct 15-21. That way, visitors to the site would be able to stay current on the weeks postings, not worrying if it is an old or outdated post.

However-I think for something like parent-related freebies (I am talking diaper offers or formula, babyfood etc) perhaps a thread just for that would be appropriate-after all, those kind of freebies rarely expire and it would be handy for new parents to see all the freebies listed in one thread.

Thats my 2cents anyhoo.

I like that idea! :D

I like it too...and after the day is over, it can be categorized by the type of freebie it is
