2008 New Year Site Release
I’ve been making it a habit for the past few years to release something major on brianwatkins.com on Midnight of New Year’s. For this year, I have brought several content updates and new website improvements to you. Let me go over some of the highlights of this 2008 New Year release…
As far as updating past content, I got way behind in 2007 with releasing new content. I’ve been working on & off throughout the past year to get it all organized and updated. However, there proved to be a ton to do. So I decided to release December of 2007’s content along with this release and get the rest live throughout the beginning of 2008. Check out what I’ve released and keep checking back for all of the rest soon. I wanted to at least put myself in a position of being able to start continuously releasing new content again in 2008. I’m really happy to be on track again with producing profound content on my website.
Now let’s look at just some of the improvements that I’ve made to my personal website…
Media Gallery – Since I now have a production studio, I will be creating a lot of different multimedia content throughout the future. So I decided that a catchall multimedia section called the Media Gallery was needed on my website for me to post all types of pictures, audio, & video content for you to enjoy and comment on.
24/7 Voicemail – I decided to take the daring move of publishing my phone number out on the internet! And it is 1-888-392-5850. You can now call me toll free from any phone and leave me a personal message. You will get my voicemail 24/7 so don’t be afraid to try it out! Give me a call, tell me something interesting, and give me some feedback.
Private Chat – I love communicating with people who contact me through my website. However, the feedback loop felt too slow through email. So I decided to bring instant gratification into communicating with fans through my website by adding private chat functionality. Now, we can instant message when I’m online while you browse through my website. Let’s chat one-on-one with each other about something profound!
Current Status – I have been keeping you up to date on a daily basis with what I am doing through my Daily Journal. However, I took this to the next level and added a current status page that now let’s you follow me real-time whenever I post what I am up to throughout each and every day! You can even subscribe to the current status feed and be automatically updated on what I’m doing.
Mailing List – There are a lot of very important things that I will be publishing throughout the future that I won’t be putting here on my personal website. However, I decided to let you in on this inside track of my life. Here, in my personal mailing list, you will receive all of the exclusive stuff that I send out to the most important people in my life. There is no archival of these emails, so go signup for the list now!
Social Networking Profiles – I’ve upgraded and expanded my online social networking presence. Before, I only had a public MySpace profile. However, I now have profiles on MySpace, Facebook, and LinkedIn that you can friend me on and connect with me. I’ve revamped my MySpace profile into an even better one. I’ve also developed a mini-site at ExtremeEntrepreneur.com that aggregates my entire online social networking presence for you. Check it out and add me as your friend!
Projects – I’ve listed my ventures in the past but have also always been up to interesting things that couldn’t really be classified as business ventures. So now I have created and listed several projects that I have going on in my life. The key difference between projects & ventures is that projects do not have a primary intention to create substantial financial profit for me.
New Home Page Photo – I’ve had the same photo of myself on my home page for the last two years since the beginning of my website. I still look the same but I decided that a fresh picture was needed here. I got a lot of positive feedback from people on the last photo but I like this new one even more.
Concept Overviews – Logic is my sport of choice. I’ve always delved deep into many different concepts and have created several throughout my life as well. I have a place to list all of my meaningful vocabulary. So I decided that I need a place to write my overall perspective on many profound concepts as time goes on, such as Wealth Building.
Personal Policy – This is a policy page is where I will be adding the standards that I follow in many different scenarios & interactions in my life. I moved my contact policy over already and will be adding more as time goes by. This is to better help you and I interact more successfully.
Press Page – After receiving multiple media opportunities since taking my life public a couple years ago, I decided that a press page was necessary to better facilitate interactions with media professionals. I am open to all types of media opportunities and this is meant to better aid the process.
Page Comments – I’ve thoroughly enjoyed receiving comments on all of my regular content posts. However, you haven’t been able to comment on static pages until now. Now you can comment on virtually every place of my website. I’m looking forward to consistently receiving your comments.
Search Posts & Pages – Last year, I introduced global search functionality into my personal website that allowed you to search for keywords throughout all of my consistently updated content posts. But some of my most profound content is contained within static pages which were not searchable last year. Now, you can use the search box to search through just about every part of my website. Give it a try and search for something you are interested in to get my perspective on it.
There you have it! Those are just some of the updates & improvements that I made to my personal website that I am releasing all at once to you today! You can read through the other recent Site News posts to see what else I’ve changed on my site. I truly am out to create the #1 personal website on the entire internet with brianwatkins.com. I believe that it is well on its way. I invite you to be a part of that process and leave your mark here on brianwatkins.com and my life by connecting with me.
