From this article, I learned that Hot Spots are parts of the web site that visitors view first. These hot spots are in the top left corner and the middle of the right side of the page.
I switched around my widgets based on importance so certain aspects catch the eye faster than others. For example, the Voki is important because it welcomes the viewer to the site. It also fits perfectly in that corner of the page. I put the search next because if the visitor wants a specific topic, it is very useful to have that search box. Lastly, the pages was the next most important thing because it’s used for navigation around the website. The rest were pretty much the same so I just listed them as is.
On the other side of the web page, I put categories first because I feel that is the most important part of the web site. It allows the reader to find any post that was made and that’s ultimately what a web site is used for, displaying information. I think that recent posts is second most important because it’s a quick click if the information was in the last view posts and very convenient for visitors. E-mail subscription is important so you can get people to subscribe to you if they like your information.
I felt tags was the least important because to me, tags are just an extra feature for organization purposes.
