This is the home of the Comparisons space.

To help you on your way, we've inserted some of our favourite macros on this home page. As you start creating pages,
blogging and commenting you'll see the macros below fill up with all the activity in your space.

Product comparisons are a bit like survey questions - much is determined by how you ask. But the idea here is to stick as much as possible to the facts. Try to avoid value judgements, such as some feature being better or worse in one product than in another.

When creating the comparisons, try to state the features in such a way that the answer is yes or no. Any notes should go at the bottom of the page, after the table.

Use emoticons for yes, no, and information indicators.

Numeric and short answers to features are fine, but avoid anything over a word or two if possible to avoid making the product columns too wide.

Example:

Include Page

Tip

You'll probably find it much faster to copy and paste emoticons than to insert them via the menu.
