Hi everyone,
I’m very happy to announce our site is up and running in perfect condition. We have officially launched the new look and feel of blog engage as we proceed into 2012. I hope you enjoy it as I have worked hard to make the user experience better with regards to meeting new members, adding friends, creating groups and more.
Important:
Please clear your cookies and refresh the blog engage page after it loads for the first time. Conflicts with past cookies have proven to cause issues from some members with the featured articles.
One of the largest improvements with our new theme is the integration of the main site, community blog and blog forum. I hope to see you visiting and engaging with our members as we tweak and adjust the theme to meet all our needs.
If you experience any issues come in and chat with me or leave a comment here. I will write down all your issues and send them off to our development team. I’m also open to suggestions regarding the site and it’s functionality. If you have ideas please share them as your opinion matters to me greatly.
So don’t let me hold you any longer, browse around and get to know your new community. I’m sure you will just love the changes we made and will still be making as new ideas come in from our members.
In the next stage of our theme development we will be remaking all our voting buttons images to support the new voting method and focusing our energy on a complete FAQ page for new and beginner level members.
The following area’s have been completely themed,
Coming Soon…

Hi Derek, thanks for reminding me about that! I remember this happening it’s a bunch of code right? Tons and tons all the way down the page? I think it has something to do with the Google Adsense Revenue Sharing module. When you refresh the page can you tell me if it goes away?

Hi Neo, You do have a good point there. The text is pretty small. Hopefully you can still read most of the text. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.

Superb UI concept Brian. But to be frank, all graphics are poorly handled in this template. I’m not a graphic designer, but a Good graphic designer can easily judge this mistake. In other words the graphics are not perfectly matching with CSS designs.

I like it. The blue is very “alive” and it certainly stands out. It actually seems to load pretty quickly too, even with that much content on the front page. Very impressive Brian, seriously.

Killer!
Looks absolutely excellent Brian. Good job.
One suggestion – could you make the text in the commenting box and comments slightly larger? They’re pretty small.
Great start to 2012 mate!

Hello !
I am the CEO of Creative Style™ .
The new Blog Engage theme was designed and developed by our team of professional designers and developers.
When Brian contacted Creative Style™ for the development of the new theme for Blog Engage, we were under extreme pressure to provide a perfect and user friendly interface for the Blog Engage community.
But now, I am very happy to see that our hard work and commitment really paid off.
I would also like to mention that this venture would not have been possible without the guidance and input from Brian. With his vision and the ability to think out of the box, we managed to produce i fine piece of work .
In the end I would like to thank the Blog Engage community for their appreciation on the new theme and also would like to thank Brian for standing by with us during the whole development stage !
Thank you all for your wonderful feedback.
And our team is looking forward to work with Brian in more exciting ventures in the year 2012.
Thanks.
