There is no denying it has been a little quiet around these parts. I decided to brush the dust off the site with a new look. Something I had been chipping away on for the past few weeks whenever I managed to find a little down time. It’s a change from the previous image driven Unstandard that was released quite some time ago.
So what’s going on with 5thirtyone.com?
- Quite busy with work at Cirqe (the reason for recent lack of activity).
- Migrated the site - Media Temple DV 3.0 to the DV 3.5 server.
- Moved back to Mint for site stats.
- Experimented with Amazon S3 as an external image host. Quickly dropped because of latency issues. Integrated as an automated backup target for my personal computer though.
Took a break from Google Adsense. More on why later.- New look uploaded today. Thanks to Brand Spankin New for the mini icons & Blueprint CSS for the PSD grid.
The site is still missing some core features. Specifically "search". I’m experimenting with a few different options, one being Lijit. Anyone have feedback? Plenty more to update but being 2:00 AM, it’s time to call it a night.
