The Beginning Of Several New Themes

admin — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 17:10:53 +0000

Hello! We’ve been trying to accomodate several requests for sidebar editing on the HerHangout.com blogs. We are taking steps in that direction with two themes - one old and one new. One is the K2 Theme which we installed with no editing. It is the same K2 theme used all over the web and it works with sidebar modules allowing you to create and edit things on your sidebar. We also added a K2 Grasses theme which you can see in action on our test site.

This theme is very much BETA and I would love to hear back from you as we work out the kinks. Once we are confident it is running properly and allowing you easy sidebar editing - we will create several more using different banners.

Thanks!

NEWS ALERT: Flickr Code Possibilities coming soon!

WOW. I’m so sorry I’ve been behind on updating my “Editor’s Picks” list as well as adding new themes. I’ve actually been working for you, I promise. I think I found a quick and somewhat easy way to allow you all to add flickr code to your sidebar. Example here on my test site

I hope you’re excited about that! I know I am. The trick is, the theme isn’t that pretty. So, I think the quickest way to implement this for all of you is to whip up a couple of VERY simple versions of the same theme. Look for them to come in the next week.

Also - remember - if you have ANY other suggestions or ideas - LET ME KNOW! Email me at kim@herhangout.com

What We Have Planned at HerHangout.com

WOW. What a fantastic weekend we had here with all of you testers at HerHangout.com. We’ve been fielding questions and keeping them cataloged on the FAQ page if you want to check that out. Hopefully we’ve fixed some of the overlap issue some browsers were showing on your entries and it seems that several of you have successfully imported entries from your other blogs into your new one here. We appreciate all of your feedback and still encourage any suggestions or reports of strange behavior to support@herhangout.com. We are using your comments to improve on this network daily!

We have a few things planned in the next weeks for HerHangout.com. First of all: We are testing implementation of a plugin that will allow you to add things to your sidebar of certain themes. It won’t work for all themes at first, but it will work for some. We are also going to be setting up the forums here as soon as we jazz them up a bit so they’ll look as cool as your blogs do. Finally, we are going to be starting the “Featured Entries” section of the main page. We’ll show links to our favorite entries around the network and will feature specific blogs and entries in a “Weekly Spotlight” section. We find useful tidbits, inspirational stories, and funny anecdotes every time we click on the “Recently Updated” section of the main page - so we want to show off the treasures we find.

We look forward to making this a fantastic community, but we need your help to do it. Drop us a line and let us know what your hopes and dreams are for this blog community!

Thanks!

Problem with sidebar overlap

admin — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 19:44:41 +0000

Thank you for those of you testers who have made us aware that on some older versions of Internet Explorer are causing the sidebars to overlap the main entries. We will have that fixed as soon as possible. On the newest versions, however, your sites look lovely!

FAQs in Progress

Hello! If you have wandered here it means you are interested in joining the HerHangout.com free blogging network. (If you have already joined, good for you! You have very good taste.) If you are just thinking about it, then what are you waiting for? You have nothing to lose. It’s free. It’s fun. It’s for women. What more could you ask for from your blog?

One of the things we currently offer and will continue to offer more of is: Nice Looking Themes. One of the biggest complaints from bloggers is the lack of good (and free) designs to choose from for their blogs. We are currently building new themes every day. (See some upcoming themes here.) However, since we are a new network, there still may be a few kinks in the designs you choose to use on your blog. Or maybe there is a bug with how the design works for you. Please let us know just as soon as you recognize a problem. You can email me at kim@herhangout.com and I will help you in whatever way possible.
Also let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for this network. We want this to be more than just a place to get a free and good-looking blog. We want this to be a community. To do that, we’ll need your help.

Thanks - and here’s to blogging!

Kim
