StylzKit prototype posted!


Today, as promised, we released the prototype of the StylzKit. StylzKit is an application for the more graphically-inclined to create their own styles for Listz. I want to emphasize that it is a prototype; the wheels might fall off if you push it too hard. However, I have made quite a few styles with it (which will be appearing on the Goodies page soon) and it has been surprisingly stable.

It's also important to keep in mind that the StylzKit prototype is not intended to assemble new styles like Lego blocks. You have to create the graphics for each component. The upside to that is that you have total creative freedom, go nuts!

In the coming weeks we will be making space on our server, and goodies page, for users to share their styles. If you make something fabulous email us a link!

On a completely different note, in case you haven't checked back with us in a while, the new version 1.2 of Listz is available now. It has an impressive array of new features we think you will love. Check this out to see a brief description of some of the highlights.

And lastly, I have gotten more than a few hints that I have been slacking on the blog. In my defense, we have been working very hard on the 1.2 release, StylzKit, and new content for you. All my excuses aside, I will do better, so please keep coming back.

Happy listing!

New site is up


After a lot of hard work and very gracious editing by some of our users (I am Duke of Typos) the new site is live. There are still quite a few graphics changes I would like to make and some great new content to post but the new look is there. Take a look and let us know what you think :)

A huge thanks to R.C. and the other readers who helped us make the new site grammatically coherent (for the most part; I like to play with English, what can you do?) and generally more pleasant to read.

If you haven't already be sure to download the 1.2.3 release of ListzBeta and try the new features.
