Site News: 01.13.09

A few very minor tweaks remain on the list, but for all intents and purposes, the new theme is functional and ready.  We’ve accomplished a lot today:

  • If you’re reading this, you’ve figured out that we moved the site news to an individual posting method and linked them via a graphic on the home page.  We did this for two reasons.  1) Who wants to read news first thing?  It’s boring, and we saw no reason to continue dedicating home page real estate to news when it could be placed elsewhere and made easily accessible to anyone who actually cares.  2) Writing the news as individual articles will ensure the updates appear in the RSS feeds and Feedburner email notifications.
  • We finished tweaking the appearance and functionality of the posts and comments.
  • We added a content archive page to the top row.  We named it “The basement” and updated the site map to include it.
  • We applied a theme update which removed the hack we used to place a Random Headtrip link with the page links.  We’ll rehack it at a later date.
  • We updated the Focus On: Communication article to include new site features and posted it on the home page.
  • New features include: Feedburner email subscriptions, the ability to email content to friends, an improved social bookmarking function, and a print function.

    I love what you’ve done with your site. It will take me a few visits to get used to it and work my way through all the new features, but I will.

    I voted in your poll (Do you like the site’s new theme and structure?) and in response to the last one, “Stop moving stuff around,” I think when ya get things just how you want them, you will.

    Have a great day and congrats on the new site!

    Thanks, Fly.  I’m really glad that you like it, and I’m glad you said something to let me know.  Feedback has been sparse.

  • I like it… it came as quite a surprise, really.

    Life with no Internet is hellish. I have no idea of how I managed the first twenty-five hears of my life without it as my constant companion.

    Still, I am now back online and you will have my frequent commentary once again. *BWAH-HAH-HAH!!*

  • Shannon

    Giselle, I always look forward to your commentary, frequent or otherwise.
