Brand spanking new website!

Surprise! Brand new website! Man, this is a LONG overdue update.

Let me start off by saying a HUGE thanks to Johan from Advanced creation Media for developing the last site for me. I loved that site! The site needed to be upgraded though; I wanted a new look, I wanted social integration, I wanted a whole new home on the net for my work. After much research, I ended up going for it on my own, no sponsors for the site or anything, and I’m really amped with the result. Elitehost is still sponsoring the hosting (I had another host offer me a hosting sponsor, but I’m happy here with Elitehost), so big big thanks to them.

Let’s briefly walk through the site:

Home!

I ended up going with this layout and style for the home because I felt it to be perfect. There are a million ways to do these things, but this is just what I wanted.

Now, the site’s got some nifty little features that I’d love for you to take advantage of. First and foremost is the commenting system. You now have the chance to comment on every single article or update I post, and you can do so without even signing up!

One of the biggest things for me with this new site was the need for social integration. What I wanted was a way for you, as the reader of my work, to go ahead and post this stuff to facebook or twitter with ease. I’ve also included facebook’s new “Like” button, and in clicking that, you’ll be linking to this article on facebook and showing it to your friends. I’ve added this like button to both the top and the bottom of each page so as to make it easier for you to access it. Go ahead and click it right now!

I’ve made twitter a big part of DAE_JA_VOO now as well, and I’ve started posting updates while I mod!

So if you’d like to keep up with me in real-time, go ahead and follow @dae_ja_voo, or click the twitter button at the top of the page:

Something else that was really important for me was RSS. I’m a big fan of RSS feeds, so I’ve supplied you, as the reader, with an RSS feed, which you can access by clicking the RSS button at the top. Subscribing to this RSS feed will give you instant access to my updates:

I’m in the process of creating a facebook page as well, so keep an eye out for that!

I’ve got LOADS more content to put up on the site. All the guides that were on the site before will be put up again, but with new photos and so on. I can’t have such an awesome looking site with bad photos, right?

Anyway, that’s it. Please let me know what you think. I’ve put many hour of work into getting this site upgraded, and I’m pretty happy with the result. I’ll be launching a forum again soon. I hope that this forum will become the home of South African Case Modders. Maybe we can even run some competitions!

That’s it!
