In the event that you are reading this via RSS, we updated our site last night with a new look. A couple things are worth mentioning. First is the “All Posts” page. One thing that annoys me about most blogs is the lack of a way to see all the posts on one page. We now have a drop down menu as well as a link on the right sidebar of the blog for “All Posts”. This page list by topic all of our blog posts. It is a very simple way to find an article or post that you might be interested in.
The second thing is the “Best of Posts” page. I wanted a way for our readers to be able to select what posts they liked the best, as ranked by the number of views, comments, pingbacks (links to the post), etc. The “Best of Posts” page on the right sidebar of the blog is a dynamically generated list of posts that through our readers interaction has ranked them the most popular. If you self-host a wordpress blog and like this idea of a reader selected “best of” list, you can get the plugin here.
As none of us are very good graphic artists we outsourced the desgin of our new logo. We used 99designs.com to host an auction and thought it was a great experience. You get to establish the price you are willing to pay, provide requirements, and give feedback to designers who sbumit entries. Our auction ran for 1 week and generated over 200 entries.
