Behind the new look

Published by Devin Reams on July 1st, 2007 in Noteworthy, Site Related | 7 Comments

Happy Sunday, everyone. My name is Devin and I've been helping "the guys" develop a new website. I spent a lot of Saturday making sure everything transitioned smoothly but if you find any bugs please contact me.

So, what exactly can you find on our new site?

Branding – We've created a logo and "look" that sets us apart from other weblogs. When you bookmark us you will see our logo show up as the icon.
Home Page – Employee Evolution is more than a blog so we didn't want the home page to focus solely on the recent articles. The home has been designed to get visitors to where they want to be.
Popular Posts – Newcomers and old timers can both benefit from finding the best posts we have to offer.
Author Profiles – On the side of every article is a mini-bio about the author so you can learn more about them. We invite you to become a guest author and contribute, too.
Share This – Find a post you really liked? Want to email it to a friend or send it to digg? Now it's as easy as clicking the button at the bottom of any article.
Related Posts – When you visit articles you'll see a section in the sidebar dedicated to helping you find relevant content.
Comments – Now you can get an email whenever someone replies to an article after you have. Now you don't have to come back and check all the time!

But what about some of the bigger additions to Employee Evolution?

Archives and Articles – Here you can easily navigate all of our content including some of our more noteworthy articles. You can sort by date or category.
Jobs – We want to help you find good jobs and excellent employers. Check the jobs section for regular updates.
Press – We've been featured in the Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek and more. Check here to find more millenial content.
Contribute – Again, we'd love to hear your story, tip, etc. Visit our contribute section to learn how to become a guest author.
Hump-Day Humor – We want to make sure you don't miss out on the laughs. Just click the button to the right to view the latest installment.

We've got plenty more in the works, too!

Hopefully the new design is helpful to you. We'd love your feedback so please leave your comments here (or feel free to privately contact us).

We want to thank Devin for doing an amazing job with the site. Considering we are two fairly clueless newcomers to the world of blogs and websites, there is no way we could have done this on our own. What do you guys think of the layout? We would love to hear your thoughts, comments, or suggestions for improvement.

Thanks Devin!
