Site Redesign Update **
Just wanted to make a quick post with an update on the BroadcastKC redesign that's currently in progress...
-- I've been hesitant to keep posting updates here the past few weeks, as our redesign is both time-consuming AND from the ground up (meaning it's just more content to transfer later). Also planned to be done with the relaunch a week or so though, so if it takes much longer, I'll go ahead and make those updates available here. There's been quite a bit going on (
Dave Fogel leaves Star,
Cowboy leaves 610,
Mancow out at WLS/Chicago,
Mathew Blades heads to Phoenix, etc) and despite being on the verge of a relaunch, I don't want to let what's actually posted get too far behind.
-- As of this morning, new user registration is currently turned OFF. All content here is viewable without registration, and frankly, the registration system that's in place gets 10-20 spam registrations from bots every DAY. In our next incarnation, we'll have a some measures to prevent that, which in turn will speed up registration approvals, as I'll no longer be wading through the spam. It looks like current memberships CAN be migrated to our updated site.
-- Our new look will be optimized for widescreen monitors (why I didn't think of that the first time, I'll never know). Also, no more of that light grayish background, which looks more and more "dirty" to me every time I see it.
-- If you have any thoughts or suggestions on new features we should incorporate in our redesign, please let us know! Be on the lookout for easier access to key content, more frequent updates, and some member-exclusive enhancements as well. More (hopefully, a LOT more) later this week...
