Migration of MSO links to MSE links

| Dec 20, 2013 at 16:41 | comment | added | Jeremy T StaffMod | @Hynes Agreed on the blog point. We may be adding a stack exchange box to the site switcher that would fix these inconsistencies, mostly because it looks like the stack exchange network is going to get a separate meta. The way the site switcher is currently structured there would be no where to put that link. | |
| Dec 5, 2013 at 20:29 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | Yeah, I definitely see your point. Stack Overflow doesn't have a blog although folks have asked to set one up before (somewhere here on meta). | |
| Dec 5, 2013 at 20:21 | comment | added | Hynes StaffMod | @AnnaLear Eh, maybe. It's still confusing because I don't know what I'm going to get. At least let me know why I'm on the SE network blog versus a community blog (one isn't set up yet, not allowed yet, etc). And then present options to the user to either continue to the SE blog or maybe let them know what it will take in order for a community they enjoy to get their own blog. Also, StackOverflow doesn't have it's own blog? | |
| Dec 5, 2013 at 20:14 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @Hynes I think this would be a bit cleaner if MSO wasn't both the site meta and the network meta. It's a bit of a stretch, but I can see the argument for the company blog being effectively the community blog for a network-wide meta. | |
| Dec 5, 2013 at 20:12 | comment | added | Hynes StaffMod | @AnnaLear Fair enough. I would say in those situations, keep a blog link next to the community name like it currently is. You are establishing a presenting a confusing mental model though by having the link go to one type of area (a community blog) sometimes and then going to another type of area (SE general blog) other times without anything denoting when those instances are. | |
| Dec 5, 2013 at 19:59 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @Hynes re: the blog link, we have sites that run their own community blogs (example). On those sites the blog link in the site switcher goes to that blog, not to the company SE blog. | |

| Dec 5, 2013 at 7:44 | comment | added | Cascabel | I'm pretty much with you on the UI for reasonably experienced users - as much as people like to complain, I suspect they'll learn to deal with an extra click to get to chat - but do you think the tucked-away chat link is reasonably discoverable for newer users? | |
