a new look for REW blogs

[webmaster]

And the rest of REW - in the coming weeks we should have completed a complete overhaul of the REW website including the directory, forums and blogs. I can't keep it in any longer (Even if it is not done) so I am posting a sneak peak (Once again lots more will be added and changed before it is launched

Thanks guys - we are really going for the clean, easy to read tech look on the blogs, and overall easy of use that REW sites always have. It really is overdue, we have a lot of cool new services, and partnerships coming out in the first quarter of 07 and we want our online presence to do our services and communities proud.

The new site looks awsome! Everything you do is above and beyond. You are the leader in this field.

Looks great. Will the new blog offer controls over the number of posts viewed, both in the the blog itself, as well as the RSS feed?

Also, when do expect to roll this baby out?

[webmaster]

I posted in that other thread about post count increase, I was not really planning on allowing members to set how many show up, as we want to keep a consistancy at least for the REW hosted blogs (Those on client sites, will certainly be able to request any amount of posts shown per blog)

But I am not firm on this, I will make a note about allowing users to control the amount of posts shown per page, but as of now (Tomorrow) I will be setting it to 10

In terms of RSS, absolutely we can create many more custom RSS feeds - it would be good to just create a feed with variable controllers so that you could input 2 threads, or 5 or 20 or leave it blank to show all kind of thing.

I have some other updates we need to do first, but don't think we aren't listening

Thanks for all your feedback guys

One thought, and this would be a good compromise, is keep the blogs to 10, or whatever, for everyone to keep with conformity, but allow the rss feed to be controlled by the user.

[webmaster]

Absolutely, - this was addressed in a different thread

Cool!
