HBT Articles - Do you read?

[Gameface]

I guess I'll be the odd man out and say I find it annoying that the articles are on the homepage. I'm here for the forum.

Gameface, please understand that it was only the luck of the draw that I am responding after your post, and is not an attack on your opinion, however puzzling I find it so.

Der Admin, I LOVE THE ARTICLES. Even if I'm not familiar with the topic, it's always worth a look. ++ on an archive index, and possibly a small banner w/ recents.

Keep up the good work. Thanx.

I am sure there are great articles but I just never think to read them

I use the app to read the forum so I never see the articles (maybe there is a way to see them and I just haven't figured it out). The rare occasion that I go to HBT on my computer I find the articles interesting, I just forgot they are there.

Ok, I don't know where to go with that...

Cheers!

I go right to the forum on the app. I enjoy some of the articles when I log in on the computer. +1 for adding the articles somehow to the app.

I hate reading unless there are pictures involved. I am a visual learner and get bored with text quickly.

A few months old but great suggestion!

I really like the articles and feel they are getting better as we figure out what the hell we are doing a bit more and what people want to read. Really been great to be more in touch with brewing bloggers and people interested in detailing their projects, processes, history, stories, etc.

If anyone is interested please PM me or I have an announcement too: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f22/submit-article-free-premium-membership-358767/

I wish the comment section on the articles tied into forum notifications so you would know if the author replied or not without checking back constantly.

I take this back. I've been reading the articles, especially the ones featuring forum members.

As a beginner I would be very interested in reading even more articles, if only I would find a directory or something where to find older articles?

To see older articles, just hit the "NEXT" button near the bottom of the list. It'll go back until you get to the end. I just did it this morning to give new replies to the articles I've written. I agree some kind of index would be nice. On the other hand, my link to the site is on the homepage so I don't miss anything! I definitely like the Brew & A, & am waiting anxiously for them to get caught up on!

I voted rarely however i read the ones that catch my interest when i see them.

 

[Hello]

I read them more now with the newsletter deal that I signed up for to enter a contest.

A bigger question that is more of a discussion then a poll is should I be focusing more on articles here at HBT or should I be putting these articles on another domain, does expanding articles/home brewing videos and putting them here on HBT benefit or detract from HBT

TX - there are many, many new and intermediate brewers here than a How To section with articles and videos in a HUGE resource. It may be as simple as re-naming the 'articles' in the header in some way.

 

[TxBrew]

You are saying we need to get videos created to provide to new brewers?

 

[unionrdr]

I'd need a new camera to start doing videos again. Darn old one shuts down after a couple minutes. But I could do it after getting a new one. I'm behind in videos for my Youtube channel anyway. Especially since I changed my brewery around.

My first thought was 'OH Cool! Videos in the BY'

Instructional videos would be helpful.

 

[kh54s10]

I also read the ones that catch my interest.

Please keep them available.

Videos are great also. Sometimes seeing things makes it more clear. I know I looked at a lot of batch sparge videos before going all grain.

 

[DaNewf]

I check the articles page and read anything that grabs my attention. There's a lot of good stuff on there.

 

[soccerdad]

or links to vids that we know have value .. I saw some ****e videos as I was starting to brew but have also seen some damn fine instructional bits
