I just released the beta of BloggerTalks 3.0. Stay tuned for the first interview in a little while, today if I’m lucky, otherwise tomorrow.
Update! A new interview is up: Mark Elliot Cullen: 366 Songs In One Year – check it out!
I’ll be doing one launch and one relaunch in April. The relaunch is obvious for dedicated readers, being the new BloggerTalks. It is due very soon, I’m just waiting for some content. The design is 95% complete, and I’m bughunting the code right now. I’ll probably do some last minute tweaks, but overall I’m happy with the clean, straight forward look I’ve given it.
The launch is a new site, titled Feeling Productive. It’s a blog on productivity, something I’ve got a lot to say about, as you may know by now. During the years I’ve been devising several ways to increase my productivity, and make my workflow be more fluid. I’ve made mistakes, learned things, and found solutions. Now I want to share.
So BloggerTalks is due very soon, and Feeling Productive is a bit further off, but both of them are planned for launch in April 2008.
There you have it. It’s always nice to share plans.
As said yesterday, there’s a new version of BloggerTalks around the corner. Here’s the new logo:
As you can see, I’ve reused the type from the current version, but have switched to dual colors. Blue and orange have always been the link colors of choice for BloggerTalks, and I’m going with that.
BloggerTalks is still in hiatus. I didn’t plan it being like this, after the move to my new house (which is now more or less complete, office-wise at least), but here we are, and I’ll just have to make the most of it. I do, however, prefer to tell people about what’s going on, so that’s what I’ll do.
You see, on April 1st, there’s something happening that will inflict on today’s BloggerTalks, and that isn’t a good thing. Actually, it’s bordering close to a conflict of interest, so I’ll have to rethink everything. Read more →
I realize that this post is a little late, but I figured I’d try a new way to put some healthy (as opposed to evil) pressure on myself, with public goals. So here they are, my goals for March 2008!
- Finish and deliver four (4) client designs!
- Reach beta for version 2.0 of my Swedish blog network template.
- Closed beta for the Notes Blog theme. I’ll be offering it to a select few bloggers, to see how it fares.
- Get BloggerTalks up to speed after my moving the office this weekend.
- Publish part 1 in The Green Knight short story over at OrnTales.com.
- Move the office!
Move my home!Oh, I already did that…- Get the last photos from Japan up on my Flickr account.
- Deliver the last freelance articles from my trip to Japan.
As you can see, I have a few things to do this week. It’s not as bad as it looks though, since I’ve planned ahead and everything.
Oh, and I have to plan April as well. That’s going to be an interesting month…
I’ve got an interview up with the excellent Lorelle VanFossen, of WordPress fame, over at BloggerTalks. You should read it if you’re even remotely interested in blogging.
It was certainly about time I relaunched interview blog BloggerTalks, something that happened today. Long time readers have gotten newsier The Rag stories, a new kind of content for the site, in their feedreaders for a few days, and that have served as a bug test for the new design. Well, now we’re officially back, and with an interview with the excellent Skellie to begin with.
Enjoy!
I’m back at work, but I’m going to lay low here for the remainder of the week. The reason is the blog launch due next week, namely BloggerTalks. So stay tuned for an official announcement soon.
I’ve had a few bad months for my own personal projects. Being ill and having crunch time on my biggest client project yet (May ’til December, crazy), as well as all my normal design gigs, well, it takes its toll.
However, the lack of planned re-launches and new launches can partly be blamed on people not holding up to their promises. You see, I work with a lot of people, and whenever I can I outsource to save time, as well as help fellow coders and designers out. Read more →
I’m pretty pleased with it. And yes, it’s built on the BloggerTalks design, which will get a complete makeover as soon as I can.
