GeekAlerts Redesign

GeekAlerts

Welcome to the brand new version of GeekAlerts! This time this site has undergone a complete makeover with new graphics, colors and a wider layout.

Probably one of the first things you will notice is the new beautiful logo and header – both created by the talented Swedish web designer Mario Eklund.

We also have a couple of new features that you might find useful. As requested, you can now see how many comments and/or pings each post has (instead of only showing the total number). Simply hover over the ‘Responses’ link for an entry to see a tooltip about the number of comments and pings.

Tooltip

You will also find a new “Post Options” box towards the end of each news entry. This section provides you with links to bookmarking sites, related posts, tags and category information, and other useful links.

Post Options

We hope that you like the new GeekAlerts design and the extra functionality it offers. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    There seem to be some problems with comments and WordPress 2.6.

    I’ve done a quick fix, so it should work fine to post comments now, but the layout is not yet the way it should be. The idea is to have comments and pings separated…it will soon be fixed…

    Thanks a lot for all your kind words, happy to hear you like the new design.

    @ adrian: True! I can’t recall having seen that logo before and I don’t think Mario had either. Maybe we’ll rethink the GeekAlerts “G”, we’ll see.
