"Featured at" links are useless #329

Closed eliph closed 3 years ago

eliph commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug The sections "Get started", "Blog" and "About" have some links under the header "Featured at". If you follow these links, you will find that none of them contain any useful information about Textpattern, and some links are dead.

To reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Go to https://textpattern.com/start/
  2. Follow the links listed under "Featured at"
  3. Any information about Textpattern, no?

Expected behaviour Links to more informative websites or nothing.

It's a paid-for advert, basically. Not my preference, but it provides a small amount of revenue to keep the lights on.

Then these are a "Sponsored Links" and should be labelled as such, and not labelled as "Powered by". It links to dubious and potentially dangerous websites and discredits the Textpattern project.

Agreed. I have amended this item now, for more transparency, as suggested.
