IT Thought of the Day Reader Update

Mar 21st

Posted by Scott Coughlin in Site Aministration

The IT Thought of The Day Blog just passed its 365th post!  That means that we are now officialy into our second year of daily posts!  image We made it a whole year without missing a day!

First, I would like to thank all of you for loyally reading my posts each day.  I am very humbled by your readership and attention.  Thank you very much.

It has been a couple of months since I updated you on the Site’s development.  Here are some highlights:

Highlights:

  • Over a year of daily IT Thoughts.
  • Some high-profile commenters
  • One Digg event!
  • One Technorati Influential Post Highlight
  • One complete redesign of the home page
  • We opened our very own web store!

I would like to remind you that there are many ways to get our posts daily.

Ways to get our content:

I do not intend to rest on my laurels at this point.  Here are some plans that I have that are “coming soon.”

Upcoming Features for the next quarter:

  • iPhone Customized Site for Mobile Users
  • iPhone Application
  • iPad Application

Now, running the site does take some funds for hosting, bandwidth, and storage.  Images also are surprisingly costly.  Here are some ways that you, my readers, can help with that if you like.  For those who have asked, I am sorry, but I don’t accept donations at this time.

Ways that you have help defer costs:

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate it!

Here’s to another year of The IT Thought of the Day!

IT Thought of the Day has a new Design!

Feb 12th

It has only been two days, and I have changed the site layout again.  I regret doing this and did not intend to, but the last iteration had a few fatal flaws.

  1. Mobile Layout.  No matter what I did, the site simply did not look right on iPhone and BlackBerry browsers.  This accounts for nearly 15% of my readership, so was a critical problem.
  2. Custom Coding.  The last theme required some custom code adjustments to make the site look presentable.  This was no fault of the developer, but was a result of me trying to make his screwdriver hammer nails for my needs.

So, as you can no doubt tell, I launched a brand new look for The Information Technology Thought of the Day website today!  I know that many of you will no like the change because you have become familiar with the old layout and interface, but a the same factors reported three days ago were still valid.

There are many advantages to the new layout!

  1. Cleaner and simpler interface.
  2. Fancy new navigation widget on the left near the top.
  3. Great new footer full of useful links.
  4. Better navigation for pages at the top!

The new theme is the WordPress Mystique theme by digitalnature.  Please give his site a view and if you like what you see here, recommend the developer to your web design friends!

So, please share your feedback on our new layout.  You can use the comments section for this post or use the “contact me” button near the top of the page to give me that feedback.

Thank you for your readership and patience during this second change.

-Scott
