Yesterday I wote a post to get you caught up with what i’ve been doing for the past week(since there was a lack of reviews because of it). Well in the post I said that I would do some new reviews ‘hopefully tomorrow’. Guess what. . .no reviews today either! I’m sorry everyone but it was my birthday today. It completely slipped my mind.
No need to worry though, new reviews are coming tomorrow, even if it kills me!
I just want to let everyone know of some changes that will be happening as the new website I mentioned is launched. I had originally wanted to manually track the updated iPhone applications, but after a few weeks I realized this was going to be impossible(even when only covering the fraction of apps that I own(2600). Also, as I mentioned in the last post I only post about 30 apps on sale and there can be upwards of 50 or 100 of these every day.
Since these will all be tracked on the new website I should be able to integrate that into this website. What I will try to do at first is add the RSS feeds into the sidebar on the front page. Just like how the apps on sale are listed now, I hope to use the RSS feed and list them down the side bar that way. If this works I can do another one right under it with the RSS feed for updated apps. The bad part is that I don’t think it will fit perfectly and if it doesn’t look right I won’t put it on the website. But if it doesn’t look right I will create two mini banners directing them to the correct pages on the new website. I don’t want to do this, but will if I have to. I might even do the same with new apps as well.
That’s it, nothing else changes. I have some features in store for the new website that will be interesting to integrate into this website, but nothing more. Not only will this new website benefit AppStoreApps.com and it’s readers, but it will also give me more time to allocate to reviewing iPhone applications here. It takes me about 2 hours(sometimes more) just to pull out daily apps on sale. So there is at least an hour extra every day to spend reviewing apps(I’ll probably need to spend at least an hour a day on the new website making changes, coming up with new features, and making sure it’s running smoothly).
Happy Birthday! Enjoy!
Thanks Sue! Traditionally I just lay around and be lazy for the day, watch a few movies, and then go out to dinner with family. . .which I completed very successfully :p
Happy birthday! All the best for you!
Thanks Ariff! It’s been a looong couple of weeks but I think things are starting to get back to normal
