365Gay Agenda Blog

Welcome to the new 365gay!

By 365gay Newscenter Staff 07.21.2008 6:22pm EDT

Update: RSS FEED

The RSS feed should be working – but the URL is constructed differently than the old feed. Please reset your URL to:

365gay.com/rss

Still not working? **Please** give us specifics about how it’s broken and what browser you’re using. Many thanks. (Usually when it breaks now it’s due to an editorial error – we need to find the “escaped” ampersand and fix it).

**************************

We hope you like the redesign of 365gay. We’ll continue to bring you daily breaking LGBT news, interesting features, and political analysis and opinion.

It’s a new site, so there are some bugs we’re aware of, and we’re working to fix them. In the meantime, PLEASE respond in the comments below as you find bugs, so that we can get to them quickly.

Update 2:

Issues we think are resolved:

  • RSS feed
    Tiny text
    Not enough content in breaking news box

Issues you’ve brought up that we are working on:

  • Printing a full page
  • International access to video
  • News broken out by day of the week
  • Improved navigation
  • Opinion section

Update 3

OK, we thought we fixed RSS but clearly not. So we’re still trying.

And continuing to update all the above. First, though, we’re trying to ensure the underlying code is stable – that’s really the priority. So bear with us, OK? We’re a tiny, tiny staff.

We appreciate very much – and read – all your comments, on this page and all the others.

Update 4

  • By the end of next week, you’ll have a single page with the week’s headlines
  • Also in next week’s publish, the ability to print a story cleanly.

We hear you on readability (a slightly different problem than the tiny text) and front page navigation. Working on both.

Update 5

  • We’re working on a WAP site, which will make things easy for our mobile users, similar to Logo mobile sites at AfterElton and AfterEllen.

Please also comment on stories – a new feature we’re particularly happy about – and feel free to send us news tips at editor@365gay.com.

Finally, our gay political blog VisibleVote08 is now the 365gay Blog - if you haven’t read it before, we hope you’ll check it out.

Warmly,

365gay editorial staff

    • I like it! Very nice and “open” looking.

    • I love the new open and airy look. The font seems easy to read and layout is awesome…..well done!

  • Jeffrey Jones Said: July 21st, 2008 at 8:04 pm
    • The print is too small. Does it cost a lot of money to choose a font large enough to read?

  • Skyler Lloyd Said: July 21st, 2008 at 8:04 pm
    • Love it!

  • Will Said: July 21st, 2008 at 8:07 pm
    • Looks amazing! And so professional. I enjoyed coming here anyway for the news and now it even looks even more incredible : ) So kudos to whomever worked on this. And I love how the headlines are still on the homepage under the “Breaking News” and the archives still work. So I’m very impressed. Extra kudos.

    • I think the new look is great, 365gay.com now looks like a professional newspaper. Cudo’s to the web designer and 365gay.com

  • Steve van Keuren Said: July 21st, 2008 at 8:12 pm
    • Congrats on the new website. It looks very pleasing and readable. Be sure to keep working on the proofreading.

    • I’m running extremely low on memory when accessing your new site from my cellphone. I never had problems before. Indeed it was good to have you in my pocket – on demand – so to speak. Do you have any plans to provide a WAP-friendly access path?

  • Tim Said: July 21st, 2008 at 8:21 pm
    • I read 365 news every day and very much love the new format. Great job, brothers and sisters!!

  • Scott Said: July 21st, 2008 at 8:29 pm
    • Great, now make the web-site compatible with my iPhone.

  • Craig Said: July 21st, 2008 at 8:32 pm
    • LOVE IT.

  • Jennifer Vanasco (Features Editor) Said: July 21st, 2008 at 8:34 pm
    • Thank you all for commenting! How nice to finally hear from our readers!

      1. I’ll ask tech about issues with mobile.

      2. Small font is absolutely my fault. Very sorry. In my haste to port articles over, I kept some bad HTML. Future posts will be better – if they’re not by the end of tomorrow, ping me again!
