Sunday Summary [05.25.08]
It’s been an extremely busy weekend behind the scenes at BlogCatalog. I’m running on fumes at this point and still have another full day or two of work to go.
The visual refresh, aka BlogCatalog 4.0, is progressing very nicely. I’ve been using the new version of the site and it really addresses a lot of usability problems we have with the current layout, not to mention it’s just more fun. To really appreciate how far we have come though, you have to consider where we started. Check out how BlogCatalog looked when we bought it back in January 2007.
I’m not sure what was with the stars all over the place up top, and the stats tab on top didn’t even go anywhere as far as i a remember. When you logged into the site, the user backend was still using a layout from before the previous owner redesigned the site, so it was almost as if you were sent to a whole new site. Bascailly the place was a mess, I don’t know what possessed Tony to buy such a werid little site but i’m glad he did. It’s been a long road since then and we still have further to go. So thanks to everyone along the way who has provided their support, insults, criticisms, suggestions, and priase.
