New Page on Design Impact: Topics

You might have noticed a new page that I added last week to Design Impact. The Topics page provides a convenient summary of posts relating to core topics. You might be wondering how this is different from the categories in the sidebar, and why this page was added.

Suppose you encounter a post that touches on a broader topic, such as engineering modeling, and you want to learn some more about it. Clicking on the modeling category could yield plenty of useful information, but going to the modeling section of the Topics page will provide you with more focused content. Each section of the topics page presents blog posts (and possibly other resources) in an order that’s useful for learning a topic. You can use these sections as a tutorial. In some cases I will also list titles of upcoming articles so you can see what is coming down the pipeline.

What do you think? Do you have suggestions to enhance the usefulness of the Topics page?
