It has come to our attention recently that there have been more abuses of both accounts on this site, and members themselves. We would prefer that those who sign up for an account on matthewgood.org are free to add e-mail addresses, website URLs, and images of themselves through the Gravatar.com service without the fear that it [...]

We went through a great deal of the over 11,000 accounts today and removed those that appeared to be duplicates, spam accounts, or were accounts which only had random letters/numbers in the names of the accounts. If you can no longer login as a result of this, please send your account e-mail address to admin@matthewgood.org, and [...]

It’s been awhile since we’ve posted anything with regard to how this ship sails, so I thought I would take the opportunity to both explain a couple things with regards to how we operate here, and educate some of the newer registered users on the site on how administrating is done. First off, the admin is [...]

As you can all see, we have a new site design. The truth is that it’s not actually new; it was a design that we used over a year ago. After re-designing the site after its use, Dale made it a Wordpress theme available for download, so if you want to use this theme, and [...]

There goes the Community! We’ve streamlined the site for multiple reasons, and returned to a familiar theme. Though the Community features have been removed, that’s not to say they’re altogether lost- Matt and I will re-think our approach to these types of website attributes, and may at some point bring them back. We have considered doing [...]

I’m going to be taking a bit of a break from posting on the site. Blogging fatigue happens every so often, so it’s no big deal really. Of course, the website’s other authors with continue to post entries while I’m absent. Two quick bits of news before I delve headlong into demoing this morning. The [...]

The matthewgood.org Community Flickr Pool has been updated and now accepts 2 photos per day from each member. As well, one photo from new entries posted each day is prominently displayed in the sidebar on the Community Hub page. As with any website update, be sure to refresh your browser to see the changes properly.

Duane Storey and I have completed some updates to the Community Hub and Community IM, bringing a few new features. On the Community Hub page sidebar you’ll now see two new links under the Instant Messenger area, one for the new Community IM RSS Feed, and another which will reveal the latest 10 messages in [...]

Okay, we weren’t perfectly happy with the latest re-design of the website. Matt and I both woke up the day after we went live with the new design and had the same concerns, so we went about another go of it, and this was the result. We’ve added some more colour, as well as tried [...]

Updated: I thought it best to keep discussion regarding the new design in the comments of Dale’s initial post about it. You may proceed there to detail your hatred of the colour orange and all things bleak looking. For those of you that signed up for an account for the purpose of commenting on my recent [...]
