Homepage & Theme Adjustments

Monday, November 30th, 2009

I’ve updated the Homepages Styling to look more appealing. Also on the Skatepark pages I’ve added breadcrumbs on all down-steam child pages to their States, and Country.

Things are looking great – momentarily I’ve taken out the Add to Facebook button / functionality until all the specifics get ironed out with a plugin. I’m looking to polish the website the way it is so that I can make additions instead of have a 1/2 working product.

I’m very pleased with how everything is looking so far. My brother is down in Orange County so we should be getting some awesome pictures of Laguna Niguel Skatepark, and possibly Etnies Skatepark / Vans Off the Wall.

So Far this month we’ve sent out 2.2GB of downloads, and had 282 visits for 9037 Pages or 45,715 Hits. We’re excited about our opening and hope to bring you more awesome content soon.

New Site Features

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Hello, we’ve just implemented the new Homepage Slideshows for all skateparks. Also, the title information for the skatepark below the slideshow has been corrected.

On a side note for children pages: Title and Meta-Data on the photo pages has been corrected to become SEO friendly and be more specific as to what the pages are.

Also, we’ve implemented creative methods to streamline reviews and data on all skateparks using template information.

I’m very excited about these changes – bringing us a step forward with more style and completeness.

Minor Site Updates & More Photos Soon

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I’ve done some minor website updates suchas cleaning up the bio page and homepage, the homepage now streams fresh Content and News which will help SEO & people to find skateverse and the reviews and photos too.

Next up on the list is Skateparks near Santa Clara, Berkley, Concord and San Francisco. We’ve come a far way as it is and will be happy to bring you more and more until we expand south into SoCal.

Other under-the-hood dependencies have been resolved & image dependences related to CSS for fastest page-load time.

We’re very very excited about everything going on here,

Stay-tuned,

14 Hour Update

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

It’s been a long upgrade to Skateverse.com, however for the last 14 hours and this morning also I’ve been putting time into the Skatepark’s Pages, Sub-Pages and theme.

Needless to say quite a lot has been done. I’ve prepped the 1700 photos for upload and they’ll soon fill their place on their skatepark’s page.

  • I’ve added some very smooth functionality adding a map on the Skatepark’s Page which later will be color coded for states as we get more skateparks.
  • The California / States page has thumbnails of each park and a list menu also to make selecting a park easy.
  • The Skateparks Page now has integrated the placeholder for the park’s HD-Video or Slideshow depending on content availability.
  • Skatepark Controls, Rating, and Weather Widgets have been reorganized in a new style to make them easier to see and use and more standard across the site.
  • The Theme has an implementation of a new jQuery Login / Registration at the top of the page, which currently awaits to be linked into the Login / User Database.
  • The Footer, Header, Background and Search Bar have been updated / added

Once the Skatepark Pages are operational, I can’t wait to revamp the homepage, bio page and finish theming out the blog & archive pages.

Stay tuned, massive loads of photos and videos are coming very soon!!!
