Don’t stop reading too soon, because there’s a big announcement at the end of this site update, and I don’t want you missing it. First, let’s start at the beginning. The Devlounge team would like to wish all our readers celebrating Thanksgiving a happy one. When you’re done eating, stop by and enjoy a nice design related article for a snack.

Next, you’ll notice the homepage has grown a little bit, with the addition of a job board and exclusives section. The exclusive section will be finished in the next day (a little busy today), but the new job board is up and ready to go. The job board is now powered by Krop, a newly launched service which provides a central job board that some of the top companies used to hire employees. Krop jobs are not only posted here, but on the krop homepage, Newstoday, Lounge72, and Uxmag (just to name a few). Talk about getting the word out. While the service is not free, you can be sure you’ll be receiving millions of times more exposure than posting on one site alone. Give the new job board a try by using the “Post Job” on the homepage. We’ll also be updating the extras page this weekend to accommodate the new job board.

But, we’re still about giving our visitors options, so the free job board will remain, it will just be refined and limited to Devlounge only exposure. Two options can only make it better for you.

Now, onto the big announcement. They’re calling this the ultimate designer / development gift basket. We proudly present you with a brand new contest right in time for the holidays. Gain exposure, gain some music, and a whole lot more. Find out just what in the world we’re talking about by hitting up the official Very Merry Mass Promotion Holiday Giveaway page.
