As of this morning, Boston Offline now has a YouTube channel which can be seen at http://youtube.com/BostonOfflinedotcom.  This is a great extension of the concept behind the photo gallery, to capture an essence of the city’s many ethnic events. Expect video clips from the Puerto Rican parade later today and the Dominican and Caribbean parades and Hip Hop Festival in coming weeks.

As indicated in the previous post, the site’s main banner was changed Friday night. The new banner is smaller, 90 pixels tall versus 120 pixels previously. This allows for slightly more above the fold content and a slightly sleeker look.

(not full size)

The other change is the images used on the right hand side. The previous banner was business-like with images of people 30-40 years old and professionally dressed which is not reflective of the site-wide audience which includes artists, college students, and over 40 year olds.

The old banner is still in use on the E and E Club and Jobs sections.

The Artists section also has its own banner.

In the next 48 hours there will be changes made to the banner along with an explaination of why the current banner (for now) was had to go.

Felt it was making the blog loading time too slow so I changed the Snap feature to only work on external links.

Just installed Snap Shots, a nice little feature I’ve seen popping up more frequently in the blog world lately.   I like to link out a lot so this now gives you a preview of said links.  For example, if you pass your mouse over -> BostonOffline.com, you should see a “snapshot” of the homepage. This -> Boston Offline Media Blog should give you a snapshot of the very page you’re looking at!

Feel free to give feedback on whether you find this useful or a pain in the ass.
