Fresh from this months BOYS OF CHIP Tigerbeat Issue.

Over the last few weeks of summer we will be tweaking TCTD to make it look its best going into the 2009 TCTD awards season. First of all a big thanks to Keff for the GFX and color checking, and everyone else whi gave feedback behind the scenes. Items of note:

• You will notice a new NEWS section in the menu. This will allow you to view certain categories that some of you expressed interested in following alone. In the coming weeks these will be themed better, but right now you can few a separate RSS feed of these items.
• We are working on tweaking a number of things with the new theme, so do not panic if a change is absolutely killing your experience. Hey there is always RSS :)

If anyone has experience with messing with page2cat or the wordpress loop give me a ring. Also, anyone want to pixelize the logos of the famous social networking sites in the right sidebar?

Post any feedback or suggestions here, and thanks for making TCTD such a personal success for me. Onward!

Lots of people ask me to submit news for them, now its even easier for you to get your release information on TCTD.

Once you enter your news, it will be dissected by trained Wordologists and submitted once found not to be viagra spam. If anyone has any questions, or issues, please let me know.

Its merely a nice round number, but Earlier today we had our 500th post. I want to thank everyone who gave advice, helped with the site, and submitted news and tips.

Heading into the second half of the year, you can look forward to a new site layout, and I’m posting asking for what type of stuff you wish TCTD did better.

I’m planning:

• More visibility for our featured content, like interviews, exclusive podcasts and audio, and previews.
• More user generated content. Make it easier to post your news and get the word out about your music, events, devices.
• More audio/visual treats

Finally I want to thank everyone who reads the site, whether its every day, or just once in a while. Post feedback and comments, and thanks for reading TCTD!
