Cheb 2.0 turns 2.0.1 - six month anniversary redesign!
Well, well, well… Has it really been that long already? Welcome to Cheb 2.0.1 - Where it’ll always be Cheb 2.0 - just a little bit older!
It’s been a fun six months! What started as a small side project to share some of me knowledge and findings with the web world has become a forerunner in terms of an online web resource; for Australia and the world alike!
With 400-500 unique visitors daily, (granted, most like to lurk rather than contribute!), Cheb 2.0 has become an online pit stop for crucial web and Web 2 information, reviews, tutorials and more.
As promised, I have been working hard on a complete re-design of the blog which will eventually address a few usability changes as well as an overhaul of the commenting/contributing system.
As you can see; especially if you have bigger monitors!, the design flows a lot more, and is heavily focused on above the fold - making it easier to find more information as it comes to hand.
Please keep in mind that although we have moved 25 or so posts across - it is going to be a little while longer before everything is 100% perfect and the dust has settled. We will be adding continues functionality in the next week or two including: user-voting system, galleries, voting, competitions, and a lot more!
We simply ask that you be patient whilst everything is going and we will get to where we need to be!
I will update this post with any new information as it comes to hand - but feel free to take a look around and familiarize yourself with the new interface!
PS: We realize there are still a few CSS/style nags on some older browsers and we are working on making sure your viewing experience is by no means comprimsed! However, I hope that the great content Cheb 2.0 has become known for in the web design industry is what keeps you coming back in the first place - above all!
Finally, I would love to thank Mel Forrest, front-end coder/slicer extraordinaire whom I could not have sliced this redesign of the blog without. You rock Melz!! You guys have to keep an eye out for Slicetastic - coming soon! : )
Peace out,
Cheb.

Nice work cheb. I love the new design. It really makes your design pop. I also like the way you designed the ad space, where you give a slight emphasis on it, but not too much to distract.
The footer does feel a little rushed though. Personally I am not feeling the border of the footer. Otherwise, really solid work here.

Hey Vinh,
Thanks for the feedback mate..
The footer along with other minor UI changes will happen over the next two weeks. I wanted to make sure I can launch with the updated design ready for the anniversary and just roll out additional updates and changes.
Thanks again for the nice comments.
Cheb.

Nice design Cheb. By far your best yet! Although already mentioned in an earlier comment, I’m not too thrilled about the footer. I mean.. what IS that thing? Photoshop explosion?
