We Redesigned!

September 2, 2008

Hope everyone had a great extended weekend! You may notice a little change here, we redesigned! Please bear with us, it isn’t perfect yet (mostly styling issues here and there) but as we continue to do what we do it will improve. As always please feel free to give us feedback and let us know what you think, either through email or through comments in this post.

As far as content goes you can expect more of the same with a few new categories:

Celeb 2.0 (currently up in the bottom half of the page)
Posts on celebrity involvement in the web 2.0 arena.

Would you Invest?
Vote on start-ups and if you would invest your fake money in them.

Other new features are RSS feeds for posts, comments, and categories.

As always thanks for reading and your continued support

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Category: BW2.0 Announcements, web 2.0

The new site looks great. Keep teaching us. I gotta say that I finally did most of the things that I learned about at your BWB workshop session. August was my web 2.0 learning and application month. Now you all got me thinking about purchasing a smart phone and one of those gadgets that allows me to access the Internet when wifi isn't available. They are all going to be planned business purchases in 2009. Thanks for all of the great information. Your blogs make me comfortable. I am a techie geek who gets scared to try new things at times, but reading your blogs and critiques about tools make my web 2.0 experiences good ones.

Tech Question: How did you create the RSS feeds for the different categories?

Also, I just noticed the icons for people who respond and I was thinking, what plugin did you use?

All thanks so much for the kind words we are very excited about the redesign and are glad that you all like it so much, it makes all the late hours worth it :)

@AroundHarlem, the icon is one we did but it pulls actual profile images from Gravatars created here: http://en.gravatar.com/site/login

Word press automatically creates feeds for each category, all you have to do is link to them. Just create a link to http://<<your url="url">>/category/<<category name="name">>/feed/. So for instance if you want a link to our trends category its http://www.blackweb20.com/category/trends/feed/. Hope this helps.</category></your>
