new look blog

To coincide with the upcoming debut of CG 2.0, we’re experimenting with new looks for the blog.  So far, we’ve settled on the one you’re currently experiencing.  It won’t match the look of the new website (yet), but we like the way it looks.  Then again, who says the blog has to match?  We’re not that fashionable, are we?

Emails have been sent out to a lucky few chosen to beta test the new CG.  We’ve missed a few people in the first round of emails, so if you haven’t received on yet, don’t fret!  Yours just might be coming soon.  We’re looking to publish the first incarnation of CG 2.0 for the start of the new Pro Series in August. 

We’ve taken great pains to streamline the new CG, removing superfluous information and needless features.  We’ll hopefully be adding some new statistical information, too with some more television results.  But the great features such as the gallery of candlepin centers, event calendars and candlepin videos remain.  And we kept the gas price gadget as well.  That, friends, is a great feature for those of us who like to hunt down the best possible price for gas! 

Interestingly, we’ve found that CG has pictures of all known candlepin centers in Vermont, Ohio and New Hampshire.  Now we’ll concede the that that there is only one center in Ohio, but we still insist we have all of ‘em in that state!  Sadly, many centers in MA and ME (not to mention Canada) aren’t with us yet.  Either we need to take some serious road trips, or you guys need to get your cameras out!  Let’s start some further site expansion!

By the time the new site debuts, we look to also have a new interview or two.  That feature has been neglected recently, and we’ll be looking to return it to prominence with new subjects recently picked.  It should prove to be a welcome addition to CG!
