Web Designer #153
Like the title said, the CastRoller blog design was recently featured in Web Designer Magazine issue #153, on page 68, in the “Blog Beautiful” section.
The “Blog Beautiful” section is an ongoing feature that features inspirational blog designs and tips from designers. Being compared to blogs like Objectified and Wishingline is a great honor and everyone here at CastRoller is ecstatic to be featured.
Thanks to @endersyrinx for giving us the heads up.
If you see CastRoller being featured, especially in print, please let us know.
And if you work at a magazine or know someone who does and would like to feature CastRoller give us a shout, we’re more then happy to speak about the site and the design.
Welcome to the brand new design for the CastRoller blog. This deisgn is courtesy of John Leschinski of Leschinski Design. Thanks a lot to John for his great work.
The new blog design corresponds to an upcoming redesign of CastRoller itself. We will be posting more details on the new design over the coming weeks.
As you may have noticed, CastRoller went through a major change over the last two weeks. The site is now running on 100% brand new code meant to make the site more reliable and much easier to use.
With the new upgrade, we have put the site into a private Beta, meaning you must have an invitation to use the site. If you already have a CastRoller.com account, you are already in the beta. Only new users will be affected.
We’ve also switch web hosts, which meant rebuilding this blog as well. I’ll be filling in the old posts from the site shortly.
I hope to use this blog to keep an open dialog with the users of CastRoller. We’ll keep you updated with what is going on with the site and what is new in the world of podcasting. I hope to hear from you all soon.
