Design, Develop, and Grow
Just wanted to let you all know that Devlounge will take it easy over the holidays. Personally, as of now I’m offline until January 7, 2008, so you won’t be seeing me around at least.
Take this time to read up in the archives if you feel like it, or just relax and enjoy the time off. That’s good too.
Happy Holidays!
It appears that Devlounge suffered for some downtime earlier today. The culprit has been zapped by the server people. Hopefully, it won’t happen again. Nonetheless, we apologize for the inconvenience.
It appears that the RSS online reader Bloglines is gearing up to release a top 1000 list on feed subscribers. The service is in beta at the moment, with Slashdot at the top spot. Check it out. Hopefully they’ll add a search function to see where a blog is on the list. Via Problogger.
Lists definitely seem to be all the rage. It’s been less than 24 hours since the 30 Fonts You Want To Have list went up, and after just checking Mint it appears like it is going to be a record setting day. With just under 10 hours to go before the books close on today’s unique visitors, we are already at 4,000+. I’m excited to see what the day brings in at the end of the all, and what effect, if any, it will have on subscriber counts and comments / reads on other articles.
Round two of the homepage updates have now been completed. You’ll notice that the homepage sidebar is now a little bit more populated than before. Header images have been added for each section, to give some visual identification to each section. You’ll now find the four latest news briefs and side notes in the sidebar as well. Lots to click on, but it is all leading on into the site. That’s good, right?
