Go! Go! Go! Clear for launch!

13 June, 2007 - General Business - 4 Comments

You better believe it!

Yes, just a mere six months since I took my old Web site down, the new Web site is ready. (I can’t believe it was six months ago, but it really is. Dayum!)

I’ll be uploading the first vlog tomorrow (Thursday), but for now please feel free to read and comment on the text blogs and the interview with Tjobbe Andrews.

Please take a good look around the Web site and post your feedback as a comment to this entry. I want to hear all positive, negative and ‘in between’ feedback. :)

My only gripe so far is I haven’t given you the ability to define the all blog entries category as your default home page when you visit the site. Hopefully within the next week I’ll setup a simple cookie to allow you to set the vlog or text blog as your default page, rather than seeing this “summary” page each time you visit.

I got there in the end. Phew! :D

Ok, now I’ve launched, I have noticed one bug.

The latest post thst displays on the summary page is displaying the full post. It should only display a select portion of the start and then give a “Read More” link.

I’ll try and get that fixed soon.

If you see any more bugs, please speak up!

Congrats first and foremost for getting something up. You obviously have another one in mind or is this the final cut that you have picked?

Hi Stephen,

This is the final cut. I decided to just go for it and get this custom theme finished, rather than use an off-the-shelf theme to start.

What do you think of the design? My main concern is how cluttered the home page is. Would you agree?

I’m hoping to make a quick tool later this week that will allow you to choose to have the actual blog page as your default page when you visit the site, so if you want to get straight to all the posts rather than just seeing a summary of the latest posts on the homepage, you’ll be able to do that.

[...] day one of this blog, I would have loved 160 subscribers. In fact, I would have loved 10 subscribers. But then I got 10. [...]
