yoMedia now has a blog

June 20th, 2007

Ever since we started we have had a 'news' section on the yoMedia website, but it was well-hidden and the text editor tools were less useful. Now we have decided to just setup a weblog so we can properly write things. A blog offers niceties like RSS feeds and extra coolness points. We love the extra coolness points.

Since we're using Ruby and Rails for almost everything we do, we decided to go with Mephisto. So far our experience is positive. Customizing one of the templates to suit our taste has proven to be easy and writing posts is not hard either.

One of the goals of this blog is to update our users on changes and updates to our yoMedia service. We have a lot of features planned, so whenever we do larger updates we will try to blog about it. This lets our users know what has changed and it provides them with a central place to give feedback. Bugs, complaints, usability issues and more things can be brought to our attention.

Since we love to use Ruby and Ruby on Rails, we might blog about that every once in a while as well. Cool features we discovered, magic gems we found, interesting code snippets, etc. There are a lot of great blogs out there with even more great posts that have helped us a lot. So if we have a chance to give back to the community, we will gladly do so.
