I have a new blog design. Yay!
I have a new blog design. Yay! I just got back from Washington, DC where we were meeting about the future of Brazen Careerist. The only time you have big company meetings for a startup is if you have no money or a lot of money. We just got a lot of money. Usually I bring something to do during Brazen Careerist meetings because I get so bored. I dont get bored when I talk. But I get bored when I listen. Unfortunately the only way to hear new ideas is to listen. So I try. We brought in this guy, Michael Mayernick, from the company Spinnakr. Heres a picture I took of him meeting with us. He has this great product that can tell where someone is coming from, and then you change your home page to appeal more to the type of person that would come from that site. Really big companies use this technology already, but now Michaels company makes this technology for smaller companies. So now, for instance, all of you who come to my blog from porn sites can get a version of this photo with Michael naked. When Michael wasnt there, I furtively worked on my site redesign. Not like I did the designing. Melissa did a lot of it. If you think the design sucks, heres her twitter handle: @melissa. I like the design because there are now more than 1000 posts, and this design is meant to help people get to them. I spent most of my time in DC drawing lists of ways to think about navigation. And peppering the conversation with bright ideas about where Brazen Careerist should go. I did not tell anyone in the company that I was taking the title Brazen Careerist off of my blog. I think it is time, though. This is a good design for a period when my career is in transition. I can change the categories and the links all the time until I figure out which parts of the last eight years of writing are best to highlight now. I hope you like the new design. Im looking forward to hearing your ideas of what to do next. Thanks.
