Content Shift and Site Update

15 November 2008 · 5 comments

In the interest of keeping my thoughts separate from the daily tech news, I have removed the tech5 podcasts from the main page. They are not going away. The podcasts will be available in their own section and can still be searched. I have added a tech5 tab to the navigation bar for quick access. They will also remain a part of the daily RSS feed.

Moving tech5 podcasts to a separate section will also increase the performance and load time of the site as it will minimize the use of the audio plug-in. You may also notice some small changes occurring here and there on Indigo Spot. Mostly with regards to sidebar layout and color adjustments. Please bear with me. I am going to be adjusting the site over the course of the next few months.

The development of Indigo Spot is an iterative process. During this development, the content will always be available, but the artwork and the location of some items may change. I will be sure to note any changes that will drastically impact usage. Thanks for sticking with me and be well.

I think it looks good :)

Thanks, Dereck. I'm trying to make the site a little bit better incrementally as the holidays are fast approaching and most of my time is delegated elsewhere. I think it's coming along. A few more changes and some artwork should spiff it up nicely come the new year. :)

One small thing: it'd be wicked-cool if the podcasts were removed from the main RSS feed too, in my humble opinion. Perhaps have two feeds?

Not a bad idea. I'll look into creating two separate feeds. It shouldn't be too difficult. But then again, this is technology. :)

Alright, Josh, I think I managed it. The main feed will now only contain content that is NOT tech5 podcasts. The tech5 podcasts now have their own feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/indigospottech5. I will put links to subscribe to the tech5 feed on the tech5 pages only. Thanks again for the suggestion.
