I’m on Vacation!
Ok so those of you who know me best already realize that a vacation for me really means that I am taking along my iPhone and my laptop and that I will take every opportunity I can to get a little more work done. Why? Because I love what I do!
I am already planning to use the long drive (8 hours on day 1) to revamp this site. I’ve had a lot of changes buzzing around in my head for a while now. Hopefully I will find enough time during my “vacation” to put it all together. 
Here is a short list of what I’m working on:
- Theme – I still love this theme, but it’s cumbersome and the load time is atrocious. I am planning to streamline the images so they load quickly and revise the navigation a bit to make things easier to navigate. The header is also too large so it will be shortened and a few items will be shuffled around. I want the site to run as fast as possible.
- Forums – With our user base at well over 1200, the forums are a good communication tool for everyone. I am planning to add private messaging, buddy lists and more features to help us get to know each other better.
- Home Page/Navigation – The home page is going to be redesigned as more of a command center for the entire site. It will feature summaries of the latest articles, forum posts and comments so you can see at a glance what is new. The archives are also getting an overhaul.
- Socializing – I will also be adding ways for you to connect with Girls Can’t WHAT via social media such as facebook, myspace and several others.
- Hall of Fame – There is also a gallery in the works for you to strut your stuff. Frequently I get photos of people showing off their Girls Can’t WHAT? gear and I try to highlight those in the side bar. That will continue, but it will be linked to a full gallery of photos along with a description for each image.
I don’t expect to have all of these features show up at once, but be advised there will be a lot of really cool changes coming very rapidly beginning August 4th. Stay tuned.
