Official HostGator Blog now up!

***GatorJay*** · #1 05-14-2007, 06:26 PM

The official HostGator company blog is now up at http://blog.hostgator.com/

Its currently under construction and still has some more work to go, but please give us feedback and register for comments and RSS feeds if you'd like!

I see no point in explaining the whole blog here, so go ahead and read the first post to get an idea of what it will be for, and of course we hope you enjoy it!

Got this in the main text area:

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')'

***GatorJay*** · #3 05-14-2007, 06:59 PM

It should be ok now, I was doing some work on the main page.

I see that its using wordpress. I wonder how long until abuse takes it down because of database usage :-).

Hmm... still throwing errors. Maybe don't announce it until you are actually ready to go, eh?

***GatorJay*** · #6 05-14-2007, 07:43 PM

There should not be any errors now, a bug fix in the template was made based on feedback from a forum user. Which is exactly what we want.

Not sure if you were being serious, or commenting on the above humored post.

But the only way that would happen is if you visited the blog before it was moved to its new live box and your cache has not yet updated.

This is nice to see

Keeping customers informed is always good.

Hostalot · #10 05-15-2007, 10:38 AM

Is there anyone in particular who is responsible (administrating) the blog?

No, it was a joke. I'm very happy to see the blog, it is a very nice idea.

Hey guys, be sure to check out the latest two posts. One is an awesome internal letter from Brent I managed to sneak in. And the newest post is some hiring information, just in case any of you in Houston are looking for a job.
