o9Media

So, I’d really like to give everyone a ten page address on all that I’ve done over the past few weeks. Though, seeing as how I’ve slept maybe a solid 10-15 hours in the past three days that’s not gonna happen. I may write something more later. I may not. However, I do feel I need to give everyone a brief rundown of what’s been done.

The Home Page -
First off, you’ll notice the homepage. It’s not longer a barrage of articles and information and this and that. Some returning users may not like this, but I’ve found having a calm, easy, static page explaining o9Media off the bat is best for everyone (and should urge more readers). A feature that should be coming in the near future is a news-esque ticker combining all of the blogs’ RSS feeds. The blogs will be explained further below.

The Blogs -
This is by far the biggest change. Unlike any other time when I redesigned o9Media I never actually changed the way it functioned. Well, I did now. I’ve separated the old blog into three main categories; music, art, and tech. Each blog is located on it’s own subdomain with it’s own RSS feed and it’s own distinguishable design. As I’m writing this, the RSS feeds and the subcategories have not yet been implemented. (I’ll be doing that as soon as this has been published) So, bear in mind a few things may not be perfect from the start.

The Designs -
As stated above, each blog has a distinctive design. Why? Well, I figure if you’re going to have multiple sites within one site, you may as well make each distinguishable. Which is exactly what I had done.

Everything Else -
You’ll notice a lot of little changes here and there. Changes I don’t have the effort to analyze. Ergo, I’m just going to let you, the reader, the user explore the new o9Media. Bear in mind, this is some what of a soft open. There will be problems, of course, but with the database issues (which I may or may not explain later) I had to rush to get o9Media v2 up. Here it is! I’m gonna go nap for about six days.
