Improving Lists using Preview Images
One of the ugliest pages on our site used to be our category listings. This page is an example:
Sometimes you see not-so-pretty pages on a website and you wonder if the creators know that the page is ugly, or are really bad designers. I want you to know that we know ;)
Chris had a quick fix to make these pags look nicer that was incorporated to the live site today. The idea is to pull a single image of a single product from each category to represent the entire category. Our algorithm chooses one of the most popular products. The human eye, of course, is able to scan through lists of images much faster than a list of text, so this makes the lists easier to use, simpler, and certainly more visually appealing.

Great job, Chris.
