MyBlogLog, a long overdue site redesign!

You know in the movies when they get the nerdy girl to untie her ponytail and remove her glasses? All of a sudden she’s the hottest chick at school? Yeah, it’s kinda like that. We always knew MyBlogLog was one hot little number, now she’s got the look to prove it.

Don’t worry, we still got all the features that you can't live without; your stats, your widgets and, of course, the New With stuff. Only now everything is framed with shiny shadows and rounded edges! Also notice that on your profile we have moved the most recent visitors module, up on top, not down below the fold so you can quickly see who's been checking you out.

Just for funsies, you should head over and check out the welcome screen for logged out or unregistered users. We went and completely upgraded the featured blogs by scrolling through the top 20 sites (based on number of members), and displaying a more straightforward message about what we offer; Discover, Broadcast, and Connect. You're going to hear these three words more often from us, I'd love to hear if this description it resonates with you.

Of course this new look for MyBlogLog couldn’t have been completed without help from our amazing muse, Jaime Sonoda, who we smooth-talked into sparing us some cycles, and the designing skillz of our man Manny. Together they created quite the slick design.

So jump in there and give it a look around. Let us know what you think!

  1. Ok, what if, hypothetically speaking, someone absolutely hates what the new layout does to the stats pages… is there any way to switch it back? I mean, looks great, but from a UI perspective, it leaves a little bit to be desired.
    Unless all of your referring url’s, and the url’s on your site, resemble output from Tinyurl.com, they are now meaningless in the displays. Everything is truncated. For blogs such as my own, which use date plus title based urls, you can see the domain, year, and month… and that’s it. Especially since that’s not a publicly viewable area, do you think that we might be able to get the option to simply turn it off…?
    Thanks. :)

  2. MyBlogLog Redesigns the Site: Why Don’t They Follow FriendFeed Pattern?

    Today the rather popular network for bloggers MyBlogLog announces redesign of their website – unfortunately, without any new features or without following the obvious pattern of FriendFeed.
    In general it seems to me that the company has decided to …

  3. What I don’t understand is why you chose still not to broaden “Connect” into “Communicate”. You already aggregate the services our friends use, why don’t you allow users to interact with this content with comments the way FriendFeed allows. At least this would have made many of us log in more often, not only when we are notified of new friends’ requests or messages.

  4. MyBlogLog Has A New Design

    MyBlogLog unveiled their new design yesterday: Don’t worry, we still got all the features that you cant

  5. You changed the stats page so that the middle column (what users clicked on) is completely useless – all the same URL! This in the name of progress and making it pretty.
    Hint: if you’re going to truncate a URL because it’s too long, show the end of it, not the beginning.

  6. MyBlogLogs new coat of paint

    Ive just read that MyBlogLog has redesigned their site, making it look shinier and giving it more rounded edges. There seems to be a lot of debate around the fact that the redesign didnt actually introduce any new features, however the …

  7. Congrats on the new look! Very sleek!

  8. Looks like the design is a little off in IE 7

  9. Why was my comment deleted…?

  10. I think the new look is awesome.

  11. That’s a nice new design. I’m loving the colour scheme and aesthetics. It’s a very web 2.0 inspired layout by the looks of it.

  12. Is there any way to, or any thought given to perhaps making it possible to, use the old design on the stats pages? The urls are all truncated in the new design, instead of wrapping.

  13. I like the new layout and can’t wait for further integration with other social networking applications, I would like to see more stats on my landing page for instance the number of new members at a glance so you don’t have to click through every blog or site, this would cut down on the bandwidth and help to speed up my replies and messages.
    Great effort from your team, keep up the good work

  14. A few of you missed the full URL display on stats with hover for the full URL. I stand corrected – function over form when it comes to stats – we’ve added back the full url, wrap-around display.
    Thanks Peter for pointing out the IE7 wonkiness – we’ve cleaned that up as well.

  15. Your site offers instant exposure but for some reasons, the energy burns too fast. After one month, I begin to feel I spend less time reading other sites but more time browsing. The display of other bloggers’ avatars (too many) distract attention to those who visit our homepage. What happens is of course numbers go up but readership goes down. It encourages laziness.

  16. Ian, the things we take for granted. I didn’t even notice that you had fixed it, even though it was glaring when it was broken. Thanks! :D

  17. No longer are you describing the public option as a bureaucratic nightmare, but merely mildly inferior in a way that millions upon millions of Americans are willing to accept. ,
