Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Skateverse.com’s Login & Join Panel at the top of the page has been connected to the Content Management System and now supports Login and Registration, Connect to Facebook support is on the way soon.

Aside from this, our main goals are to hammer things out cleaner before we continue to scope San Jose, Oakland and Concord for more Photos.

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!!!

Renovation Revolution

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

For the past few days, I’ve been working on a fresh new look & layout for Skateverse. The design is similar to the current, however, it’ll make everything look smoother, with more polish & sexier. The new design upgrade is getting closer to our original vision.

Keep checking in and you’ll see some very cool changes soon.

Sacramento Skatepark Surfing

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Today, Aurora and I went to Sacramento and got 400 Photos of: 28th & B Skatepark, and Granite Skatepark, and we’ve confirmed that Grand Prix Skatepark shutdown in 2008 by a local skater near Pape Equipment

We’ve been experimenting collecting HD Video of the parks to create 3D Panoramas, It seems like It’d turn out a lot better with a tripod, 28th & B was awsome, and Granite Skatepark was overkill on my expectations and wildest dreams of what a skatepark should be.

We’re working on Skateverse.com Development and User Controls at the moment, expect to hear and see some cool things soon.
