Site Of The Day:
So, in case you’ve been living in a cave in Turkmenistan for the past day and haven’t heard the news, BlogCatalog has been named the Site of the Day by Top Site Tally. In recognition of this award, we have prepared a few words:
BlogCatalog: We’d just like to say thank you first and foremost to our families for standing behind us no matter what, and…
Kanye: BlogCatalog, I’m really happy for ya and I’m a let ya finish, but Facebook has one of the best websites of all time.
BlogCatalog: Uh, thanks to Top Site Tally and all of our amazing members.
Changes To Our Site:
There are many changes underway at BlogCatalog. First, you may have noticed the new holiday theme on the home page courtesy of Oscar (TN9Design). That’s his little holiday gift to all of you out there in cyberspace. He is also working on a host of other design changes that will will make navigating the site easier and will make the ads on our site less intrusive. Overall, the changes are estimated to increase the sites level of usability by over 400% (these figures are based on a quite biased survey of approximately 2 BlogCatalog employees).
Dan (thegoodknife) has also been working like a mad man in order to improve the user experience on BlogCatalog. His changes may not be quite as apparent to the everyday user as the upcoming design changes, but they are vital to improving the BlogCatalog experience. You see when BogCatalog was acquired, there were tons of bugs in the source code. Since Dan got his hands on the site, he has been meticulously combing through that code, making updates, removing the bugs and moving it all over to a new framework. So, now the BC source code is comprised entirely of Dan’s original code. This means that all the code is now super clean and streamlined. For the users that means things should run a bit faster and account updates should happen a bit quicker too. If– as they say–time is money, then Dan just saved you about $ .35 while you read this post. Tell him thank you the next time you bump into him. He’ll like that!
