New Design
Filed under: Articles — Mark Wolinski @ November 22, 2008 11:30 pm

Just a quick post here. I’ve been working on a new design and here it is! I hope you all enjoy it. My goals were to make the site feel “lighter.” The dark blue background gave it a heavy feel to me, at least.

Also, I’ll have a new podcast come this week. I’ve been on a break due to a combination of sickness, getting a crown on a tooth and family visiting. In other words, a tsunami of bad things. I’ve been looking at getting a co-host for the podcast as well, so the format of it might be changing in the near future.

Give me a comment or two on what you think of the new design. Thanks!

    How can one apply to be your co-host?

    MDNomad,

    Send me an e-mail at contact_us at traveloffthecuff.com and pitch yourself why you would be a good co-host (and honestly, listening to my podcasts, that’s not a hard task ;-) . Also, what system do you use. Realize, I don’t make any money doing this, so neither would you.

    Mark

    I really like your integration of Facebook connect. Some really nice features, one click signup. publishing comments to facebook. Wow. Anxious to get this up on my blog in the new year. Still hoping for an easier to work with plug-in for wordpress. Congratulations. I hope you see Facebook Connect as a successful tool for spreading the world.

    Todd, thanks for the comments. It took a bit of hacking to get the look to integrate into the site and it’s still a work in progress (have to figure out how to get it to show up on the home page as well). I’m sure there will be other, easier plug-ins available at some point. But for now, I’ll continue hacking this one.

    Thanks Jessie, where ya been? I’ve updated the quick submit option as well to make it even easier to submit! If your blog already creates Description and Tag Meta tags, the quick submit feature will automatically pull them in.
