Update: Import Tumblr and Enhanced Events

Submitted by throk on Thu, 04/16/2009 - 2:25pm

The new Tumblr page works pretty much like how the dashboard view looks on Tumblr. To get your tumble blog up there just create a Tumblr Feed. 

      

A few weeks ago I added more advanced features for setting up and scheduling events. This spurred on by the LA Buzz Out Loud Meetup that PhatEmoKid spearheaded.

    UPDATE 3-26-09: Switched over to Shadowbox which works much better, I used it on my personal site and show how to use it with Flickr slideshows. 

    I spent way too much time setting up the Fancy Zoom lightbox like effect. Fancy Box is that cool effect that you've probably seen on Apple's website. The cool thing about it is it will happen automatically. So if you have an image that links directly to another image, the linked image will come up all fancy like:

    • BTC to get a face-lift

    Submitted by throk on Sun, 08/10/2008 - 7:53pm

    I just wanted to let everyone know that the BTC will be getting a facelift here soon. I've been working on a proper template for the site. I will probably be releasing the theme as a Zen Sub-Theme on Drupal.org so that anyone out there that uses Drupal will be able to use the theme too.

    I hope all is well with everyone, and I apologize for my lack of presence on the site. Work has been kicking my butt and the nice weather outside has made it hard to sit in front of the computer on such nice days.

    I'm also planning on expandind the social networking and agregation features of the stie but that will have to wait untill BTC is look'n good.

    Cheers,

    throk

    It's been a while since I've been able to work on the BTC, but I have been able to add two new features:

    1. World Clock – located on the right side bar the world clock should help us get an idea when our fellow Buzz Townies located around the world are sleeping and not able to chat on Twitter or Plurk.
    2. Timeline – Now this is cool, I just came across this module today; it is still very early and in an experimental state. Basically it displays content on a timeline according to when the were created. For now I've implemented page with the 200 most recent blog posts and general feed items. http://buzztowncenter.org/timeline The other timeline shows the 200 most recent blog posts on the BTC http://buzztowncenter.org/timeline/blogs

    Other things I'm working on include improved syndication of content from various services such as Pownce, Twitter, Flickr ect. And I'm also working on a new fancy template to make the BTC looking even better.

    Take it easy Buzz Town!

    • Buzz Town Center: Analytics from Day 1 to May 25th

    Buzz Town Analytics

    Hi everyone,

    We've had an awesome 2 months (give or take) of Buzz Town Center. We couldn't have pulled this off without awesome buzztownies like you. I figured I would share some of the Google Analytics information with you all. I've attached two PDFs to this post. The first one is the general "dashboard" over view. And the second is the browser/OS stats. These stats are from March 25th to May 25th. 

    • 1,584 Total Visits
    • 11,433 Page Views
    • Each visitor viewed an average of 7.22 pages per visit.
    • The most popular browser used was Firefox.

    There's a lot more stats, so go ahead and check out the attached PDFs.

    Again, development will be slow/non-existant till mid June. However in the mean time it would be awesome if you all can help out with the handbook, FAQs, and post bugs/suggestions and such in the forums.

    Thanks for all your help Buzz Town!

    Buzz Town is the coolest place!

    SO SAY WE ALL

    • Development Slowdown :-(

    Crazy Monkey

    Hey Buzz Town,

    Well the growth of BTC has been awesome and the site has come along way the 2 months since the site has been online. Many of you have probably already noticed the activity of development on the site has dropped off in the last two weeks or so; this has been due in large part to it being crazy busy at my day job.

    This month I am getting ready for a "trade-show battle royale," well not really I just have a trade-show that I have to run a booth at every week in the month of June. Since I will be on the opposite side of this continent and around the world, I might not even be online much at all.

    On the bright side I'm really hoping that I might be able to meet up with some Buzz Townies while I'm out and about. So if any of you happen to be in the following cities, hit me up. Lets grab a beer or coffee!

    Here's my schedule:

    • June 1-5 San Diego, CA
    • June 8-14 Stockholm, Sweden
    • June 23-26 Washington DC/Arlington (I'll have a car so I can make it around pretty easily)

    Thanks again everyone!

    • Buzz Town Citizen stuck in the Pacific Ocean!

    Submitted by throk on Wed, 05/07/2008 - 8:55am

    There were some errors popping up today, I just deleted a few files and it seemed to fix stuff? Why question it right?

    Lost at sea

    But more pressing is the fact that a the1337loser, a Buzz Town Citizen has apparently been "lost" at sea for a few weeks now. At this moment JaMoTo is being redirected to aid in the immediate attempt to help the1337loser to get up to date on the podcasts, there is no doubt that the1337loser has fallen behind on BOL Podcasts since being lost at sea. This is precicely why JaMoTo will be fitted with a refirbished 2nd generation iPod filled with all the current podcasts. So no need to panic JaMoTo is on the case!

    I'm sure the1337loser is safe and sound on solid ground.
