Hopefully you’ve noticed by now that The Blogulution Reader is updated. It should be much faster thanks to moving all the stuff from ijfp.com to Blogulution.com, they were sharing some files before. It also has a little bit cleaner layout with pretty colors to boot! Blogger announced a few weeks ago that they are going to start including comment RSS feeds soon which means we can finally get the number of comments next to each post on the Reader page. Maybe even a expandable button next to each post to show the author of each comment or something. Crazy the possibilities. I also want to solicit a design contest for a Blogulution logo. I think the forum could use one and each of our blogs could have a “Blogulution Member” image we could slap on the button. I’ll come up with a couple myself and post them in the comments to this post, if you come up with anything do the same!
Good call on the logo – that’d be bragable.
One can hardly tell, but I actually did spend upwards of 8 minutes crafing a sort of police badge thing with a BL in it (standing, of course, for Blogu-Lution) which is the faviocn for The Blogulution. However, whatever processing a favicon goes through between a square bitmap and a little picture on the top of your web browser renders it more of a series of dots. Also, while the favicon appears gray, the bitmap from which it originates is blue. Hmmm.
Yeah you can get programs that will re-render those fav icons. I made one for iJFP. They have to be 16 x 16 pixels and I think it’s limited to 256 colors. We can make a favicon based off a higher-res logo for The Blogulution.
