Note: New Design and Comments Section

by Matthew Cerrone on April 3rd, 2009 at 2:59 am

Good morning, MetsBlog.com.

Yes, I changed the layout of the blog last night.

It needed to be freshened up; and, though all I did was flip around the sidebars, I believe it makes it easier to consume and break up different types of content.

Also, until I can figure out issues with installing a mobile interface, this should at least eliminate the need to scroll for hours through the sidebar before viewing the the text column when using a BlackBerry.

Additionally, I installed Intense Debate to facilitate the comments section, which will allow you to create a user profile; rank other commenters; custom sort how comments are displayed; and be notified by e-mail when someone responds to you; as well as a whole host of other bells and whistles you can explore.

Lastly, I will soon be installing Facebook Connect as the entry way to the comments section, just like Deadspin, Gawker, TechCrunch, and other popular blogs have done, because it helps create a more responsible and self-sufficient community.  I expect to install Facebook Connect in the next week or so.

Thank you for reading MetsBlog.com, and if you have any questions or concerns about the new design please let me know.

Lets Go Mets,
