New Skribit Homepage Arrives
Paul Stamatiou, 12:29 pm, 1 Oct 2009It has been a few busy weeks since our last post here and we’re happy to announce that we have redesigned a few of the front-facing pages of Skribit in hopes of making it easier for people to understand what Skribit is, how it works and how it can help them cure writer’s block. I just came back from WordCamp Birmingham 2009, where Skribit was a sponsor, this past weekend and had a blast.
Updates

First off, we added the ability to sort your manage page (based on feedback on our Get Satisfaction support page). We also revamped the actions. Instead of having lots of icons, we just ended up with a simple mouse hover-activated menu.

When you complete a suggestion, you can now link up as many relevant posts as you want. Great for bloggers that answer a suggestion with a series of posts, or if you want to refer to some older, yet still related posts.

You can now change your blog’s public profile URL as well as that of your user profile.
So what’s the next step? Aside from the typical development and fine-tuning we’ve always been doing, we are going to start marketing Skribit. To this date we’ve just been working on building out a product and now we’re ready to start telling people about it. We still have a ton of development to get to the picture of Skribit we have in our minds but that doesn’t mean we can’t have you guys ride along while we get there.
I (Paul) will be at Blog World Expo in a few weeks so please let me know if you’ll be there and want to meetup (and get some Skribit swag!). I will be in San Francisco after that as well.

Not really sure about that background.. its a little strong. I’d decrease the contrast between the shades of green.
