Some Much Needed Touch Podium Updates
by Jody Mitoma on June 14, 2009 at 7:16 am 
Alright, so it’s been a while since I’ve made a post in regards to the website itself, completely disregarding iPhone and iPod Touch talk from the subject, so I figured now would be a good time to do so.
Touch Podium, as most of the regulars should know by now, had really slowed down at the beginning of the 2009 year. Eric and I had begun to really slack off in terms of posts written per day, per week, per month…
I’d like to inform all of you that Eric March no longer writes for Touch Podium. Reason behind this tall tail is simply because he’s an extremely busy man, and now runs his own iPhone applications related blog; Frapstr. Frapster is a part of The Podium Network, and has been up and running now for quite a few months. Sometime late-last year, if I recall correctly. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I suggest you go on and take a peek. He’s running things well there, and I enjoy reading some of his posts every now and then, even though I don’t own an iPhone, or iPod Touch of any kind. (Yes, I’m serious.)
Now on to my side of the story. I’ve gone through a lot during these past few months. I’ve been in a bad accident, having to purchase a new vehicle. I’ve been through five or six jobs, many of which were night shifts. I am happy to report, however, that I am completely fed up of night shift jobs, and refuse to go back. I’ve gone through many 7-day work schedules, attempting to pay off bills and the likes. However, I’m happy to announce that I am currently only working 5 days a week, three of which are morning shifts, one of which is an afternoon shift, and one which is an evening shift. I’ve got Thursday’s and Saturday’s off, so expect those two days of the week to be the big-news days, if anything. This doesn’t mean I won’t be posting 4 or 5 stories on days that I do work though. Because ever since June 9th hit, I’ve been doing rather well when it comes to posting news on Touch Podium, if I do say so myself.
June 9th marked a new beginning for me. If you are one of my regular readers, you will have noticed that I had begun to write a lot, ever day or second-day since then. From January 2009 until May 2009, Touch Podium was only getting about 1 to 4 posts per month. Yes, that’s per month! Now that things are doing good for myself, I’m back up to 1 to 4 posts per day! The difference is unbelievable, but I will admit, I am astonished to be back, my friends.
Now, for site updates…
If you haven’t noticed already, I changed the advertisements around a little bit. Not that it matters to you regulars too much, as I’m sure you’ve mastered where they are by now! This was done, however, for those who find Touch Podium via search engines. Just thought I’d point it out.
Another new addition to the Touch Podium algorithm, is the Official Twitter and Facebook pages. Both of these social networking pages are updated using Touch Podium’s current RSS Feed, so you don’t have to worry about missing any news, if either of the social pages; Twitter and Facebook, is how you check up on Touch Podium news postings. The two pages are found at the very top of the left-most sidebar, at the top of every page.
Last but not least, the RSS Feed and E-mail Subscription links have been moved up, just below the “The Podium Network” watermark, found at the top of every page, to the right. Just above the search bar. This, I feel, will bring more people to subscribe to Touch Podium’s feeds, as they are more visible in this region, than they were in their previous region, which was at the top of the left-most sidebar (where the social networking websites are now posted).
Well, that’ll be all for now. Search engine viewers; thanks for stopping by. Touch Podium Regulars, always glad to have you. Thanks for keeping in touch. Always glad to hear from you all via story comments and the likes.
If there are any changes or additions that you think we could all gain from, please do not hesitate to leave a comment within this story.
Cheers!
