Well not quite, but I have been distracted from working on my new site plugin by adding Twitter and Facebook buttons to the site. The buttons are visible on all blog pages within the cake decorating blog directory, my Blog and on my About page . These buttons will help both blog owners and blog fans share things of interest.
I have also joined Twitter and Facebook to enable me to post updates about the site entries and improvements. This provides a new way for blog owners and fans to keep up-to-date with any additions, new blogs and promotions.
I think these changes will all help improve the user experience for all my visitors.
I am in the middle of some other major changes to the site. One of which is moving the whole blog directory over to a dedicated server. This site has gotten so big that it has outgrown the allocated space and resources you get on shared hosting. So, I now have my very own server, which is very exciting, but also comes with a whole host of problems. Derek is helping me work though all the issues, and anyone visiting the site lately may have noticed some minor glitches. Everything is fixed now though, and the site should only work faster and better than before. So, all the hard work was worth it.
So now things are happily settled on the new server, I have another exciting change to implement on the site. I really never thought I would get to this point; it has been so much hard work. There is still a bit more testing to do before it can go live, but I am hoping it will be launched sometime next week!
