Been awhile since any upgrades, updates or changes have been made. Sorry about that. Between parenting and my day job I haven’t had much free time. That hopefully will be changing shortly.

No promises yet, but the big redesign is still in progress as well as a few new features and a contest with cool shwag to win (did someone say bestbuy gift cards and free netflix subscriptions? Tshirts?) more on that later.

For now, enjoy the fabulous upgraded blogs and let us know what you’d like to see added!

More on that later. In the meantime we’ve added a new widget into the mix. You can now use your xbox live gamertag on here.

Really easy to setup as well. Anyhow check it out in the presentation tab or go here to see it in action: corourke.dreamflicks.com

Yay to more space and a faster database server.

While we’re doing that we’ll also be doing some backend upgrades and bringing everything up to date a bit more. There may or not be a few surprises in there as well (10-15 new themes maybe??)

Some of you may have noticed that there are quite a few new widgets to choose from for your sidebar. We snuck those in yesterday and have a few more on the way as well. Like we said before Christmas a lot is happening in the new year.

Our Chief theme conversion guy (that’d be the main man here Chris) isn’t doing any work other than changing the occasional diaper and holding his son for awhile.

If you’re curious what the brand new member of the Dreamflicks team looks like you can go here:

http://corourke.dreamflicks.com and see pics of Alexandr Phelan O’Rourke (his job right now is chief noisemaker and diaper soiler).

For the rest of the year the whole staff is going to take some time and enjoy the holidays with friends and family. In the new year expect some MASSIVE changes (yeah I went there with all caps, didn’t think I’d do it did ya?)

Catch ya in 2007!

While not many of you had requested the ability we strive to get you the options you want.

Have fun and check out user krougeau’s blog for some great videos: krougeau.dreamflicks.com

Thanks to Zeug over at An-Archos.com for fixing this so quickly.

Introducing Polls. If you hop into your plugins directory you’ll notice something new.

Polls.

Yep you can now activate those two plugins  (wp-polls and wp-polls widget) to give your blog that oh so sassy feature of polls. Wanna know what your friends think? Poll ‘em.

Not a groundbreaking feature addition but it’s one that is  doubtless to be popular and was requested by a user. So you see, telling us what you want does help you make Dreamflicks a happier more satisfying place.

Speaking of polls and requests, on the right you’ll notice a poll asking you what you want to see us do next. Well don’t just stand there let us know what it is you want to see next on Dreamflicks.com

In order to make posting videos, songs and (now even itunes imixes) easier for all of you, we’ve introduced a new plugin that will make it so all you have to do is click the “video” link when writing a new post and it’ll walk you through exactly what to do. This may cause issues for those of you importing from other hosts since each different host seems to have a different method for allowing embedded content.


Aside from some backend tweaking and working a few bugs out of a possibly launching new feature for next week I’m done with all this for the weekend.

If you want to see the new video feature in action check it out on the (un)official test blog.
