Look What I Can Do

Look What I Can Do

I have been using Squarespace for over 2 years now, and I love it. I love it so much, that I use to camp out in the Developer Forum to help out everyone else in using Squarespace. So much so, that they hired me :)

Now in being busy with that, and a ton of additional projects I have taken on, I have not had too much time to get back in there and lend a hand. Additionally, I have seen a great deal of incoming traffic to my site from the Developer Community due to customization posts I have added in the past, and I want to make sure I help these visitors out.

So, here is my plan:

Welcome, Google Buzz

Well it is official. Google has entered the realm of Social Media with its new exciting tool called Google Buzz. Google Buzz is integrated into your Gmail account, and allows you to post content directly to it, or feed in entries from various Social Media services like: Flickr, Google Reader, Twitter, etc...

At first, I did not think that this would be good at all after playing with Google's last attempt at something cool -- Google Wave, which I think is still a useless tool. However, after playing with Google Buzz, and figuring it out, I am starting to like it more and more.

My Favorite iPhone App -- Gowalla

There are a number of Apps on my iPhone that I use and enjoy. I have talked about them in the past. The most exciting App that I currently use is Gowalla. This fun little App, which is similar to Foursquare, lets you roam all over and Discover and Check in at places you visit.

You can share your experiences at different locations, and post them for you Twitter and Facebook friends, as well as have your Friends that have the Gowalla App, see where you are and have been. You also get little rewards as you find and check in at different locations.

Great design, no content...

Well as you might have noticed, I changed my layout once again. This time it was not that I did not like the style I had, it was due to the style killing my content and time.

I spent so much time aligning everything, that I did not have any time to write. And when I did write, I would then spend some more time aligning my content into the multi column layout I had.

The new design is just basic as you can see, but it will allow me to write, and not worry about alignment. Also, I can post quick entries from the editor and the iPhone App, and not have to rush to fix it up.

Hopefully, this will open my mind and allow me to post what I want, and when I want.

I Got It! Disqus Comments are Back

Well, after my initial excitement back in August about availablility of adding Disqus Comments to my Squarespace site (New Commenting Method), I jumped right on it, and added it. This lasted pretty quick, due to their code being a bit buggy when interacting with Squarespace. While a couple of us fought the code, we were able to get it to function correctly, minus a couple features. It did seem like it was working, until I got a couple messages that there were issues.

Well, I think with a couple people contacting Disqus about it, and more playing with the code, I was able to get it back installed on the site and it working correctly (as far as I know).
