Site Upgrades!
July 9, 2007 | Filed Under Blog
Hey folks. Just a quick heads up to let you know we will be doing a few upgrades here at TheWoodWhisperer.com over the next day or two. There will be a few visual changes as well as some behind the scenes stuff that will allow for future functionality. The process should be relatively painless but if you come to the site and something just doesn’t look right, that would be the reason. Thanks everyone!
****Update***
Looks like most of the site is up and functional. We still have work to do on the header and some little fixes here and there, but we are 95% there. Boy am I glad that’s over. :)

Got something to say?










…I miss the “‘ghetto’ Marc at David Mark’s table saw” pic…

Hi Marc,
I just ran across your site via a link in the latest Fine Woodworking newletter.
Awsome site, I just spent my lunch hour watching you videos starting from episode #1. How long has the site been online? Keep up the good work I really enjoyed it

I would make that Categories box a different color to stand out since it is a main jump point, took me a few minutes to catch it.
Also, dude where is the RSS Feed link to your videos/blog?
Well, to be honest, Im not even sure if I can make a single box a different color. I am sure its possible, but it sort of defeats the purpose of CSS. All the boxes are treated the same. But the good thing is the navigation is in exactly the same place its always been. So hopefully it wont cause too much confusion.
And the links to the RSS feeds were just added in the left column under Subscriptions. We now have a small and large video feed. The large one, while active, is still being worked on so I wont “officially” announce until I am sure of its functionality.
Marc, very nice upgrade. I miss the picture at the top on the old site. Other than that it looks great. Dean Knight
I am looking at using the i3theme and was wondering how you added your own header pic and changed the colors on the calendar on each post. I would love to be able to personalize it too, and make it uniquely mine.
Very carefully my friend. Very carefully. :) It was two days of hell figuring it out though. Email me or catch me on GoogleTalk and I will tell you what I know.
I dig all of the new site upgrades, but in that top banner I think you should have been rocking the Wonder Woman mug. Mostly because she’s the BOMB, YO!

Hey Schwigs, on that top banner, I want to think he is covering a big fat grin with his coffee mug. Or could he really of transformed into “The New Metro Woodwhisperer” :)
HA!
“Up next time on the New Metro Woodwhisperer podcast. How to use the Domino to make a really NEAT shoe rack…for yourself”
You guys are the funniest guys I know. The funniest LOOKING! Do you even know what being “metro” means? :)
Actually, I worked with a guy that used to call me ‘metro’ all the time, but I think he was just jealous because I was “really, really, really, really good looking ” “So I thought to myself, maybe I can do that for a living, be professionally good looking”
Okay I am done quoting Derek Zoolander.
Spags, good luck picking out a hair gel for your next podcast…its a big decision. ;-D
Oh my God….., how about a coffee mug rack pumped with the Domino joinery! Ya know, those designer 1 gallon coffee mugs are soooo heavy. In fact, I slurp my coffee in the morning holding my mug with my own two little hands. Hey now, that would be a great banner pic. Picture this, two burly woodworking man-hands surrounding a handsome rosy pink colored coffee mug. Ahhh the aroma of a fresh cup of hot brain candy steaming softly and our TNMWW (formerly TWW) looking ever so carefully skyward deep in thought. Ohhhh soooo goood!
WOW! Any who…..Metro - someone once told me about it… But I forgot… Oh well, Gota go! Big shoe sale at the Mall.
TTFN
Good luck in Vegas… have fun with it…safe trip and spread the word Brotha. Remember to get some sleep. Even a Festool has a bite if ya don’t pay attention.
Oh yeah baby!
The banner is now cool again and a registered Trademark.” Hit it cheer leaders…. Go Marc! Go Marc! Go Marc! Go Marc!…….”
