I’m leaving Wisdump, which I have been running for quite some time, in favor of, well, what? I’m not supposed to tell until tomorrow, but maybe I let it slip in my bye bye Wisdump post…?!

OK, so I did.

It was a fun gig, running Wisdump, although I could’ve gotten off to a better start, with it being pretty much run down and all. It’s a tough crowd, I guess, but I think they treated me nicely.

Anyway, thanks for all the fish and all that. I already did a goodbye post so go read that one instead. I’m off to celebrate!

I’ve launched the public beta of the new Wisdump design, client work for the great folks over at Splashpress Media. Do pop over and let me know what you think!

It’s not just Wisdump I’m redesigning, and are involved with on Splashpress Media’s behalf. Devlounge and Wisdump are supposed to work in harmony, and the two sites’ redesigns are of course a necessary step for this.

The first mockup of the new Devlounge design is up, and anyone who thinks stuff can speak their mind in the mockup post.

There’s a lesson to be learned here. You should always make serious decisions in conjuncture with your readership. The final call is yours, and you can’t please them all, but be sure to use their opinions to build a better product.

I’ve been blogging over at Wisdump, Paul “Scrivs” Scrivens old playground, for quite some time now. One thing that the site needs is a redesign, figuring out its own identity so to speak. The legacy of Scrivs isn’t a small one, so it’s important for the blog to find its own voice. Observant readers know that others have tried before me…

Anyway, check out the mockup of the proposed, and later selected, redesign. It’s not final, not at all, but it gives a taste of what’s to come.

I was hoping to announce a project today, but I’ll have to push that forward a bit, waiting to get the definite word from my favorite illustrator. Would be nice to launch it with a piece of his work, but I hadn’t planned it so if he’s swamped I’ll just go ahead. It’s worth the extra days of waiting though.

Meanwhile, I’ve returned to The Blog Herald with a post connecting to my tooting your own horn post. If you want to know how to get me to read your blog, this is the post for you. Long time TDH readers (hah!) might remember that I started my international blogging career at that fine site, before moving on to 901am. Full circle, eh? More
