I’m on Vacation!

Posted by: gretchen on July 25, 2008 |

Ok so those of you who know me best already realize that a vacation for me really means that I am taking along my iPhone and my laptop and that I will take every opportunity I can to get a little more work done.  Why?  Because I love what I do!

I am already planning to use the long drive (8 hours on day 1) to revamp this site.  I’ve had a lot of changes buzzing around in my head for a while now.  Hopefully I will find enough time during my “vacation” to put it all together.  ;)

Here is a short list of what I’m working on:

  •  Theme - I still love this theme, but it’s cumbersome and the load time is atrocious.  I am planning to streamline the images so they load quickly and revise the navigation a bit to make things easier to navigate.  The header is also too large so it will be shortened and a few items will be shuffled around.  I want the site to run as fast as possible.
  • Forums - With our user base at well over 1200, the forums are a good communication tool for everyone.  I am planning to add private messaging, buddy lists and more features to help us get to know each other better.
  • Home Page/Navigation - The home page is going to be redesigned as more of a command center for the entire site.  It will feature summaries of the latest articles, forum posts and comments so you can see at a glance what is new.  The archives are also getting an overhaul.
  • Socializing - I will also be adding ways for you to connect with Girls Can’t WHAT via social media such as facebook, myspace and several others.
  • Hall of Fame - There is also a gallery in the works for you to strut your stuff.  Frequently I get photos of people showing off their Girls Can’t WHAT? gear and I try to highlight those in the side bar.  That will continue, but it will be linked to a full gallery of photos along with a description for each image.

I don’t expect to have all of these features show up at once, but be advised there will be a lot of really cool changes coming very rapidly beginning August 4th. Stay tuned.  ;)
