Closing in on the Bloggst release date

We’re closing in on the March 1st release date of Bloggst, and I thought I’d give those who are interested a heads up on how it’s coming along just that. The short version is that it’s going great, and that I’m optimistic in terms of how it will go at the release! Of course, this wouldn’t be much of a post if I didn’t include the long version as well.

Since the last update on the project I’ve actually spent most of work time on the project adding features, and I still haven’t gotten as far along in the content creation process as I had hoped for. That’s not overly important however, because the nature of the site requires that it has a bit of “features”, in order to make the participants happy. I’m really happy with how the features have been implemented, both when it comes to functionality as well as look and feel. Right now I am almost done with the features, I only have two more things to finish, and hopefully I’ll have those finished by at least Monday. This will leave me with a bit of extra time to focus on the content, as well doing some “polishing” around the site.

Right here and now I’m going to reveal something new about the site, one feature that I hope will give us some decent exposure, as well being a source of inspiration for aspiring bloggers everywhere. We will be featuring interviews with “prominent” bloggers, who have been able to make an impression on the blogging scene with their blogs. I won’t announce any names or something like that, but I can tell you that I’ve already been able to get in touch with a few bloggers who’ve agreed to participate, and I can promise that every bloggers out there will be interested in hearing what these guys have to say, and see if they’re willing to share any of their secrets!

That’s about all I’m going to reveal for now. Infact, I’m not sure there’s all that much left unrevealed, but hopefully this has gotten those who follow the project a little more hyped up about it. We’re going to need all the active members we can get once we launch, because as I’ve pointed out before, active members will be the bread and butter of this site, and it relies solely on those people to ever get anywhere.
