Admin post: Tags, Icons, Layout

[blueraccoon]

Hi! Welcome to everyone that's joined us in the last, um, week? Or however long it's been.

There are a couple things I could use some feedback on, so here we go:

1. Tags: My thought for this is that we have different categories of tags. Such as:

diagnosis: insomnia, diagnosis: sleep apnea, diagnosis: delayed sleep phase syndrome - these will indicate what's wrong.

treatment: cpap, treatment: meds - or whatever else you're doing.

meds: rozerem, meds: ambien - kinda self-explanatory.

Does this make sense to people? Do you have other ideas? Please let me know.

ALSO - if you'd like to be one of the people on this comm responsible for tag-wrangling, please speak up! I will be happy to share that fun task.

2/3. Icons/layout: I am not artistically inclined. At all. If anyone out there would like to design a layout or icons for this community, please feel free. The only thing I request is that we have something readable (i.e. no gray on gray tones and font larger than 9pt) for those of us with crap eyesight.

Any takers?

4. Any other general feedback, thoughts, etc?

"Diagnosis" implies that one has been to a doctor and been told the name of one's condition. Which may not apply to a lot of people, or to a lot of issues.

Maybe add "Symptom" tags?

For instance: Snoring (one of my big problems, even though if/when it's not apnea)

Also: Thanks! :-)

This is also what I was going to suggest.

Also, do we want a "side effects" tag, for people who know or suspect that their sleep problems are because of medication they're taking for something else, or should that go under "meds"?

I think side effect should be its own tag, and we can break that out as needed. Thanks!

D'oh, I feel stupid for not thinking of that. Yes, of course.
