I’m very happy to announce Blog Engage is working with Creative Style to redesign the entire Blog Engage website from the Main Site, Community Blog and Blog Forums.
We have already started with the home page PSD and it’s coming along nicely. We are working on bringing the entire theme together better for easier use for you the end user. As you know I’ve been managing Blog Engage for 4 years now and I will be making sure all the elements we have come to know and love will still be here.
Where I see the biggest changes is integrating the members into the theme design. I would like to showcase our top member’s from many different perspectives. The new theme will showcase, Top Users, Top Submitters, Top Publishers, Recent Comments, Top Upcoming Stories, Latest Visitors, and Most Active Users.
The end goal of this theme is to show more while using less. We plan on speeding up the load time while implementing new features that engage the community better with one another. I hope the new theme helps our members get to know one another better and more easily engage on each other’s latest blog articles.
Vote for the color combo!
I would like to have some feedback from you, our members, Help me pick the color theme we are going to be using. I’m going to list some of the color combinations I’m thinking about using and I want to know what you enjoy best! Join the blog forums topic and vote for your favorite.

Hey that’s awesome James thanks for Voting. Looks like we have a few already and hopefully others will take the time to also start voting so their opinion can count,. I know we live in a society that has been exhausted by the voting system but maybe because it’s not politics and it’s more fun we will have a higher than normal turnout lol
