We’re always looking for ways to improve the site. Let us know what we can do to make TVAUSCAST even better in the new year.
With the new year officially underway, we thought it would be a great time get some feedback on ways we can improve the site.
Are there anything things you like to see more of on TVAUSCAST? News, reviews, opinion blogs, specific show blogs, videos, podcasts, polls?
Are there any specific parts of the site that need improvement?
Are you happy with the current site layout? Or do you prefer the blog style layout (numerous posts on one page)?
Would you be interested in reading/participating in community generated content/articles (content written by you and other readers of the site)?
Is there something new you’d like to see on TVAUSCAST that we currently don’t do?
Any feedback you’re willing to share with us would be truly appreciated. Just leave a comment below and vote in the polls.
