I have been hard at work for several hours today updating, posting and hacking away at WebHostingShow.com. Working from a long list of suggestions you have sent my way, plus releasing a few new updates to some old favorites… Well, here are some of the updates we are rolling out today.
The New Web Hosting Show Logo!
I have been teasing this one on Twitter long enough. Today is the day you all get to see the new logo for the Web Hosting Show web site and podcast. This was designed by my good friend and Graphic Design Specialist, Sean Barton.
Easier to Read Text!
I know a few of you have complained in the past about the previous text being too small to read, so I have bumped it up some so that you, my wonderful viewing and listening audience, can better enjoy this entire Web Hosting Show experience.
E-mail Subscriptions, Front and Center
You can now subscribe to the Web Hosting Show by e-mail on the top of every page on WebHostingShow.com. Just fill in your e-mail address into the text box and hit “subscribe” or click this link. Following our updates here could not get any more simple.
Login to Comment from Twitter or Facebook!
Thanks to Disqus, you can now login and comment via Facebook, Twitter or Disqus.com. With this new system in place, the commenting system will be much more dynamic too – providing you with a few more features:
- Threaded comments are here, so you can reply to somebody else’s reply to help, give feedback or answer somebody else’s comment.
- More profile pictures with your comments. If you add a comment with your Twitter handle, your Twitter profile picture will show up. If you add a comment via Facebook, then your Facebook icon will show instead.
- Send in video replies, and if you do so – I might post them on the next edition of the podcast!
- Subscribe to a comment thread by e-mail.
I hope you enjoy all of these new additions and upgrades, and I am sure there will be more to announce soon! Also if there is something you’d like to see added to WebHostingShow.com be sure to let me know. I would love to see you test out this new comment system I just put in place!
