Attention Blogosphere: We're Here

by Fred LeBlanc - October 21, 2005 / 5:13pm View more articles

I suppose this was only a matter of time. Of course, being the guy that kept pushing for it, I think this is a huge step forward for the company, although for now it may seem like just another blog. That being said, there's been a bit of discussion as to what should actually be posted over here.

Should this place be where we discuss what we're working on internally? How about new technologies that we come across? Maybe we should write about projects that have recently launched, what we've learned, and what we'll do different.

My opinion?
All of the above, and more.

The thing that makes iMarc such an interesting company is the culture that one will find just by taking the grand tour. (By the way, I'm not sure if the 'grand tour' is open to the public, call for details if you're really that interested.) The music, the environment, the dogs, all of it make iMarc just a little bit different than what you might be expecting. While we're always building something, that isn't all we do each day. We research, we grow, we learn, we share, we expand, and this blog should be an extension of us.

At least a couple times a day I hear (or say), "Whoa, guys, come check this out!" In addition to talking about general company stuff, it is this general excitement in what we do that should also be explored for everyone to see as well.

While we're all a bit nervous about the blog right now, not just with concern about what to put here but also with the excitement in the ability of being able to post things here, hopefully this section better displays who we are as a team and individuals.

But for now, Craig just put on The Cranberries, and my copy of Zend Studio 5 beta 2 just finished downloading; it's time to check things out. Check back soon for more, and leave your thoughts.

I just can't wait for the first non-iMarcian to leave a comment. We should offer some sort of prize...

How about a free t-shirt?

My brief exposure to the iMarc studio (I received one of your old monitors through freecycle) showed me an atmosphere that seemed to insist on creative growth. If this blog takes off, it would be a valuable resource to other developers, especially those without such an open environment (or well-built team).
Did you build the blog from scratch, or was it adapted from another system? And is RSS available, or are you planning on implimenting it?

Our blog was created from scratch, and while RSS is not yet available, we will constantly be working on improving the site (and it's features).

RSS is a great idea, and I'll definitely add it to the list of things to add.

RSS is now here. There's a little "RSS" graphic at the bottom of each page. You can download or subscribe to feeds here /rss/
