At Last We Can Say Happy Friday!
Posted by Kerry on January 25th, 2008Are you as glad to see Friday as we are? It’s been a long but exciting week for your Mixxologists, so we thought we’d end it with a little celebration. No, no. Not a margarita party. Someone snitched and we “lost” the margarita machine. Something about a missing beverage license. But we do have some other cool stuff on tap!
Fun With Mixx
We’ve added a couple of things to the “Fun with Mixx” section, which you’ll find at the bottom of every page but this one.
- MixxMerch is open for business! Head over to CafePress.com for the Mixx stuff you’ve been waiting for! Well, some of it, anyway: The store is a work in progress, so the layout isn’t yet where we want it to be, and right now, we have only one design. There is more to come, but we’ve been busy making a better Mixx, and that will always take priority. But don’t let that stop you from showing us a little love. Hey, we gotta pay the bills somehow!
- If you’ve been hanging around the Mixx Lounge during the last three months, you may have noticed that Tamar has been hogging the “Most Contentious” award. We thought this was a little odd, so we did a bit of digging and found a bug that just made her contentious. Forever. Oops. So with many apologies to Tamar, we’ve fixed the bug, and now someone else has a chance at the Most Contentious award. Any takers?
- Now you can follow our Tweets on Twitter and keep even closer tabs on what we’re up to!
Changes to Groups
We made a few changes, which we think will make it a lot easier to find and browse Groups.
- You’ll now find Groups in the site navigation—no more hunting!
- There’s a new “Submit” button right on the Group page to make it easier to share content.
- A new Find Groups page lets you browse through an A-Z listing of all the Groups available on the site. So whether you’re looking for fellow Star Wars geeks or other David Hasselhoff fans, it’ll be a lot less time consuming.
- We’ve added the ability to tag items privately, so they’re seen within a group and only within that group. This should make it easier to browse content within larger groups.
- “Recently Active” groups have been moved from YourMixx to Popular.
One More Thing
We also redesigned the layout of the second step of the “Submit” page to take advantage of the new private tags. We think it flows a little better, but let us know if you disagree!One last little thing we managed to squeeze in this week: Many, many Mixxers had asked to have award badges to stay on their profiles longer, and now they will! After all, you worked hard to get those awards, and now you can keep the bragging rights a bit longer.
Now if you’ll excuse us, we have to go and mix up something cold and tasty.
Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in the Mixx!
The Mixx Team
