We’re getting ready to push some changes to the goal page on 43 Things. First up, the release of How I Did It stories. The How I Did It story allows you to craft a more thoughtful entry about how you accomplished a goal. You’ll be able to share your experiences, resources and pictures with people looking to do the same thing. Here’s how a How I Did It story will look on the goal page (click to enlarge):
This is the first substantive change to the goal page since we launched 43 Things back in 2005. It will take some getting used to — and you may not see these stories at first until folks take the time to write a few How I Did Its, at which point they’ll take the top position on the page.
The goal of these changes is to make 43 Things a more useful resource for people working on their goals. All of us who have accomplished a goal have our own experiences and tips to share with those who are still working on it. Other changes are more housecleaning, as 4 years on the internet leads to stale designs and feature cruft. So when we are done, it will be a pretty new look for 43 Things. Give it a few days to sink in and then let us know what you think.
update: we hope to launch this early next week
re-update: we launched How I Did It stories today (Sept. 9, 2008 @ 4:20pm PST)
