Our new site

Posted: Nov 30, 2011

by:

Welcome! It's crazy-whack-funky. We have a lot of bugs to work out here, Junkies, but we know that you all like to stick your nose into other people's business. Well, this is your business. A and I and the gang from BackMyBooks want to change the way we present my goodies.

No, not that kind of goodies. You kiss your mother with that mouth?

You'll be seeing more topical blogging from me on this site. We're adding some things to the sidebars that will make it easier for you to get your free stuff, and also easier for me to dip my bony Scrooge McDuck fingers into your wallet (i.e. "make it easier for people to buy stuff".)

We will be adding things to the store, adding the rest of my books to the Library section, and in general just messing things up until we get it all right.

We figure it will take two or three weeks to get this site properly broken in. ARealGirl, Tay, GK and I say "bring it!" Start mucking about and breaking things.

When you find bugs, and you will, email them to media@scottsigler.com. We'll prioritize, add them to our list, and start to make things all nice and smooth like a Diary Queen soft-serve.

Looking real good. The site looks all grown up.

Maybe this slick, new design can get me fired up about running around on the web again. I've been incognito for a couple of months at least.

Well done all involved.

Very different.

I hope the back end is easy to manage. This is a whole new user experience. It doesn't really translate from the old site.

I only know everything if you ask the right questions.

Fancy schmancy! Gotta set aside some time this evening to get accustomed to it.

Like the "cleaner" look, less cluttered. Have to look around more.

@Death Tone, look like you figured it out...you posted successfully here. Were you having the trouble while trying to post without being logging onto the site first?

Oh! The main reason I even dropped by here today was to click on a sponsor link for ink cartridges! Where are the sponsor links?

On Dec 08, 2011 @ 5:13AM

@possumcowboy...the badges and such are coming back as the cool guys at Back My Books continue to fill out the site's capability. Fear not; all the awesomeness (and more!) is coming back to us in waves. As for sponsor links, click on the title of article you want to share so it opens up fully. Once you do that, the sponsoring links (Like, Tweet, +1 and Share) will be at the top. Sponsor away!

@jp
I want to purchase toner for my printer, and one of the financial sponsors of the podcast was a company that supplies toner; I need the link to click through so that Scott gets credit for my business to that company.

On Dec 08, 2011 @ 6:21AM

@possumcowboy...ah gotcha--sorry for the misunderstanding. I can't find them either. Send an e-mail to media@scottsigler.com with the subject "sponsor links missing from the site" and if there's a specific one you want to know right away, mention it in the e-mail. They may be able to send you the code for the specific sponsor you're after, before they get all the links restored to the site.

@possumcowboy.....The episode sponsor for The Mustache Rangers are 4inkjets.com. Is that what you're searching for?

cant post to the bugs thread to say Im having very little success in post on the new site. I can only post to these blogs and nothing else. Im sure its already being worked on, but thought I would throw it out there.
