Some cool updates have been made to DavidMeade.com recently.

You’ll no doubt have noticed the new ‘in-line’ video players. I hope that’s working well for all of you. Please let me know if you have problems seeing the video.

You may have also noticed the availability of comment RSS feeds. This allows guests to receive notifications of replies without having to register or sign up with an email address.

One of the cooler things that I’ve been meaning to do for a long time and finally got around to doing is making all of the DavidMeade.com links much easier to remember.

For example, if you wanted to see all the video blogs, you could go to:

http://www.davidmeade.com/tags/Video+Blog

If you wanted to subscribe to DavidMeade.com, you could use the feed URL:

http://www.davidmeade.com/feed

If you wanted to open DavidMeade.com in iTunes, you could use the URL:

http://www.davidmeade.com/itunes

The cool part here is that none of these files actually exist, so you can pretty much make them up. So if you wanted to … for example … see all posts where I’ve tagged it with “Chicago”, you might try:

http://www.davidmeade.com/tags/Chicago

And if you wanted an RSS feed for only posts tagged “Chicago” you might try:

http://www.davidmeade.com/tags/Chicago/feed

Doug has launched a new site, and Kevin is about to. Once all that is done, I hope to get them to work with me on a collaborative project.

There have been other ‘behind the scenes’ changes, but I wont bore you with them. Just remember … let me know if you find a bug!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Wow it’s Christmas time already! I started to write a whole year in perspective type of blog, but I’ll save that for New Years.

In the meantime, Here’s wishing all of you a very happy holiday season, however you celebrate whatever it is you celebrate!

I hope our little Holiday theme helps drive home the spirit of the season for you a little. As a special treat, I suggest you visit DougMeade.com and take a gander at his brand new layout and site design. Be sure to leave him a comment and let him know what you think.

… and to all a good night,

- Dave

Well, I started NaNoWriMo and convinced my two brothers to do it with me. I quit a few days later.

But Doug and Ted kept writing. Ted came really close to hitting the 50k word goal, and Doug made it!

We can now call Doug a novelist. Congrats Doug.

Now it’s time for the rewrite that will surely lead to publication.
