Random Shapes has been around for almost a year but I’ve never been completely satisfied with the site. I’m still not, but it’s much better and a lot closer to what I originally imagined.
So what’s new?
The Design
Well what more can I say. It has a new look. There’s still some IE issues but it’s just about done. I hope you like it.
Search
This is probably my favorite addition to the site. You can now search the whole network from anywhere on the site. Search is replacing the Groups we used to have. Now you can search all the posts on any topic you want. Groups weren’t organized or narrow enough to be useful. Search fixes that problem.
Feeds
We’re putting them everywhere. You want an RSS feed of all the latest posts? You got one. You want one for a specific search term? You got one.
Member Profiles
What? Where? Actually, we don’t have this yet but it’s coming this week. Keep an eye on the Members page for changes and to learn more about each member.
About Us
We’re no longer just a blog network. Random Shapes is a community for teens that features the best teen content on the web. We aren’t going to be just blogs forever.
Related Posts
Now when you find a post you like just click the related link next to the post and 3 more posts on the same topic will magically appear. It’s a fun addition to the site and it’s just another way you can find the content you’re interested in.
If you noticed anything weird going on with the site let me know and I’ll see if I can fix it. Otherwise, I hope you like it! I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, criticisms, and ideas.
