New, bigger and better things are coming on EasyCFM.COM.... here's a taste of what we've done so far!

I wanted to announce some changes done recently to EasyCFM.COM. These changes were done at the requests of our community using Firefox (mostly) and to go back to our original style designs. (People said they missed the "reddish" colors).

Here is a list of items that were recently changed.

  • Forum was modified to display color scheme in firefox. Previously it would not keep the same look at Internet Explorer. This was due to a bug in the original forum software. I went through and modified all the code to correct the issue.
  • Corrected the layout of all the pages throughout the site to ensure that the intended design was consistent throughout all browsers.
  • Modified the site logo to keep a constant link to our twitter account (Tweet!!).
  • Changed the site-wide stylesheet design and color schemes to the original colors, bye bye blue! Woo Hoo!
  • Modified the menu for the site (top area) to be CFMENU driven to take advantage of newer better built-in ColdFusion technology. Look for new areas to be developed on the site; so we can continue to add to the menu!

If you have any additional suggestions or would like to see anything else added/modified.... please let me know! After all it's all about our community! You make this site the success it is, we never forget that!

More great things to come!

Frances Cisneros Jenks's Gravatar How do I edit my developer profile?

Andy's Gravatar The biggest problem is the lack of fresh content. I "grew up" on this site... but not much new has been added in a long time. I don't know what you can do about that... I know that you even have contests and give a way some pretty cool prizes for best submissions... but it still seems that the content is not flowing any longer. I think it is because all of the potential content providers are posting to their own blogs instead these days?

Pablo Varando's Gravatar Andy,

I am working on resolving that... We're about to roll-out a brancd new thing on EasyCFM.COM. it will be a paid tutorial submission system for authors. Instead of prizes (which most people have no guarantees on) you will get paid for your tutorials based on a couple of criterias... length, word count, quality, etc. Authors can submit as many tutorials as they want to the system and once the utorial is approved the will get paid for their submissions.

This will allow peopel to write quality tutorials that will ensure fresh content on a constant basis, and also a way to mak some money for their work.. look for it to be released soon!

Pablo Varando's Gravatar Andy,

The paid tutorial submissions to author's has launched... hopefully this will drive some new fresh content... Visitors will still get the tutorials for free! Let me know your thoughts!
