    Business Pundit gets the 449 funk…

    Image relating to Business Pundit gets the 449 funk…

    We’ve just finished off the redesign of Business Pundit for Seawaves Technology. With a simple brief of “don’t want it to look like a blog” and “big bold headers” Chris had plenty of creative freedom and responded with this fantastic magazine-esque design which Indranil then coded in record breaking time.

    This was a fun project to manage and I think the whole team learnt a lot in the process. We’re looking forward to some more projects like this :)

    Digging deep to answer your blogging questions - the fourfourniner

    What do you get when you mix a professional blogger, a blog designer, Skype and some sound bytes from law & order? The FourFourNiner of course!

    David and I got together on Skype last week to answer all your questions about blogging and bring you the very first FourFourNiner. In this episode we cover all kinds of things, from SEO to relocating blogs and even how to get a job as a blogger. It’s an action packed 30 minutes and guess what… There’ll be more next week!

    Here are a few links which we mentioned in the show:

    and also thanks to everyone that supplied questions: Grant, Andrew, Titus Ferguson, and Kate Smith.

    Back in the office and new work…

    Image relating to Back in the office and new work…

    Hopefully everyone had a great Christmas and New Year break, everyone on the 449 team certainly did :) And wow, what a long break it was! But now we’re back to the grindstone and what better way to kick off the new year than with some updates to the portfolio?

    First of all we’ve got the Sensational Color blog network, currently consisting of , and . New blogs are being added at a rapid pace, giving you everything you need to know about colour in the home, the workplace and anywhere else you can think of! Working with Kate Smith, a leading colour expert, was a fantastic experience and we wish her a very prosperous new year!

    Secondly, we’ve got Nate Ritter. Nate’s tagline for his blog is “community, entrepreneurship and business strategy”, he definitely knows his stuff and is a top bloke to work with! Since the redesign he’s written a fantastic post on using Twitter (via several other social platforms) to help communities in crisis, it’s a fantastic read (especially for geeks) and is reflective of the sort of content you can expect from his blog. All the best for 2008 to Nate too!

    There’s heaps more work in the pipelines, aswell as some exciting new posts on the blog and a few tweaks to the 449 site. We’re hoping to release a few self-initiated projects in the first half of 2008 aswell, so stay tuned!
