Posted: May 6th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , | No Comments »

Wanted to tell everyone that we added two new features that you may enjoy!

  • Post voting: there is a star system on the bottom of each post where you can rate the post.
  • Site polls: there’s a poll at the top right of the site where you can vote on our polls.

Hope everyone has fun voting… you let us know what you like and we just might continue to post that kind of content.

BumPaddler gets a site gallery

Posted: May 3rd, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: technology | Tags: , | No Comments »

Since the site’s content has been moving steadily from a higher ratio of images to news stories than what we began with, I ‘ve decided we need an image gallery system to display all of our images for your viewing pleasure. It’s up and running with the NextGEN gallery plugin for Wordpress. I’ll probably be setting up a cronjob to sync newly posted photos to the gallery, since right now the process is manual and I’m too lazy to do that all the time. You can see the image gallery by clicking the “bumpaddled photos!” link at the top of the site page.

This is disgusting but it had to happen

Posted: May 1st, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: internets | Tags: , , | No Comments »

So you may recall from the previous posts where I HATE TWITTER. Mostly because of the shit that is on there is all garbage. But here’s what’s happening; through the magic of programming all of the posts on BumPaddler are now getting pushed over to Twitter in order for two things to happen: 1) more link visibility on the internet for search pages to grab and index which drives more traffic to the site, and 2) so that the people that are addicted to twitter and like bumpaddler can follow the posts much like other people do via RSS. So. There it is. I’m almost ashamed to do it but if it means more people’s lives will be improved by the bumpaddler content via twitter, well then I can lower my standards for this one thing and provide you with twitter posts. Bear in mind that I will never actually be ON twitter posting things by hand – the plugin just pushes the blog posts over to twitter and makes them available. So that’s that. I can’t talk about it anymore or I’m going to have to hit myself in the head with a hammer. By the way, the twitter URL for you to follow is http://twitter.com/bumpaddler
