New Design

Announcing (finally), the new design of TheJoey.Net. You may have noticed over the last 2 days, this design was up more and more. I was putting the finishing touches on the design and wanted to see how it looked live, in the flesh. Over the next couple of weeks I will talk about all of the new stuff, including the design, AJAX features, my first crack and a WordPress plugin, and more.

As for right now, I am just happy I finally launched it. I started working on it in late December, and if you’ll recall, I started doing a live update a month ago. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Live Update

Well, it’s that time of the year (as trends show) for a new design. I will write more once the actual site is launched, but this one comes from a more mature, more experienced me, so hopefully this one will stick around for more than a year, and I can actually focus on content. This is just notice that I will be doing testing in house, so the site may be in shambles some times- but I will try to keep that to a minimum- Thanks for your patience!

Announcements

Just a few general things:

  • My brother is selling his guitar. If you are interested, drop me a line!
  • It’s that time of the year: The Weblog Awards. Last year I found some pretty awesome ones and I hope this year I will too. (Also, getting nominated for best-kept secret would be cool too- polls close tomorrow at 10pm eastern time).
  • While I will not contribute to the hype that is the iPhone, I will say, it looks totally awesome.

That’s about it!

New Server

TheJoey.Net has a new home! After a lot of debating (and pulling my hair out), I have decided it is time to move onto bigger and better things than my really bad ex-host, Jiffynet.Net. You may have noticed lately the frequent site outages, errors, etc. This was due to very poor hosting that has pretty much existed since I have been with Jiffynet. While these things can be expected sometimes, it recent weeks it has become unmanageable. I have decided to switch hosting over to DreamHost, after hearing some good things about them.

Right now I am still in the moving process, and it would be a great help if would tell me about any bugs you see on the site (you can find a report bug form on the about page). Thanks! Later!

UPDATE: The comments are not working nor is the Report Bug function. I will be working on these later. for now if you see anything else, email me at joe [at] casabona [dot] org. Thanks!

UPDATE 2: Comments art FINALLY Working! With that said, I will probably be doing a more AJAX-tastic redesign soon. Later!

Page Nav

Just a bit of site news: I finally added buttons at the bottom of the main page to navigate through older pages. Click Previous to see older pages and Next to see newer pages. Later!

UPDATE: My friend Dan (of What’s on my Bookshelf fame) was so gracious as to redesign the side bar and page navigation buttons to make them look a little (ok, a lot) nicer. This of-course has sparked something in me to go around the site updating somethings to make it look and feel a little more “Web 2.0.” So look out in the next few weeks for some changes! around these parts!
