Meta:
What's it mean, anyway? | |
Wondering if posting the help link in a more obvious section higher on the page, like say just below the tagline, would make it more likely to be read. 'Meta' is a word that isn't commonly used here in the States, and so probably gets ignored. Perhaps a group title that's more descriptive?
I like this definition.

Never quite got that name nyself. Probably short for something geeky. Metaphysical? Metaphorical? Meteorological? |
|
|
Either that, or it's the secret Greek letter between chi and xeta. |
|
|
Metanews? Metahelp? Meta t-shirt? |
|
|
whilst I think meta makes sense, perhaps could just subsitute "read:" as more of an instruction.. |
|
|
"info:" perhaps, though I'd favor using "about:" and renaming "about" as "site". "background" seems not quite so obvious in its meaning. |
|
|
I say leave it. Whatever the title, the important word is "help". |
|
|
If we're going to get all pedantic about the menu names, then surely the "idea:" section should also be renamed, to "ideas:"...? |
|
|
Not that it matters, but I don't think you should rename it. I like meta. |
|
|
"Ideas" plural doesn't work for everything in the list. You don't post a "new ideas," for example. |

I'm better at metamatics than spelling. |
|
|
So this would be a 'metabakery' idea. |
|
|
I've always been partial to Heavy Meta. |

|
I think that 'meta' is fine. You have to assume at least some level of linguistic competence in the people who visit the site otherwise you might as well pack up and go home. |
|
|
Do you want any help with that bag? |

What do those two big words mean, DrBob? |
