New Updates to Cloud Bite

Over the past couple of weeks there has been some great posts on Cloud Bite with unboxings and reviews of several products. When writing these reviews and inserting images, video etc for them I have noticed a few issues with Cloud Bite Website which have either made it harder and slower for me to add updates or are just general styling that I thought could do with been changed in order to improve your experience as well as my own. I thought I’d write this update to outline some of the changes that will effect you as a viewer of the website, however there is also a lot of changes made underneath! Please just bear in mind not all changes are complete at this time and small tweaks will no doubt be made over the next few days! In fact just writing this now I have just made a “tweak” to the Style Sheet of the website.

What’s Changed?

• Sharing - We all like to share right? Well I suppose it all depends on what is being shared. I mean you wouldn’t really want to share your last Cadbury Button would you? Arhh Cadbury Buttons mmmm. Blog posts though, well good blog posts like mine , should be shared with your friends and beyond!  Cloud Bite fully integrated the Tweetmeme button right from day one but other social networking sites like Facebook were overlooked, that is partially due to the fact I’m not a fan of facebook, however there are gazillions of people on FaceBook like there are on Twitter and other Social Media Sites. Now as the aforementioned social networking sites are the biggest, or appear to be, they have their own dedicated buttons right up the top of the post. However at the bottom of each post is also a ShareThis button which you can click and the post link gets repeated across all your social sites.

Facebook and Tweetmeme Sharing

ShareThis Button

• Font – You may have notice the fonts have changed a little, or you may have only noticed when reading this. The reason the font has changed is I noticed that this font looks clearer especially on mobile devices like the iPad and iPhone. Other than that theres no other reason!

• Width - Another small change to the site is the width of the main post area. The extra width even though a small increase aids the layout of a blog post and the ability to have larger images without effecting the sites design.

• Article Information - At the bottom of each post you will now see the article information box. This contains the tags, category, last updated information and the ShareThis button! You can check it out below.

• Lightbox – The site now uses light box features to display images it just makes it that bit easier for you! At the moment not all of the images on the site have been fully adapted to correctly work with this feature but they soon will be.

Click to try the Lightbox feature.

• Featured Posts - The Featured Posts at the top of the main page has been updated. This is more of a Style change than a features change.
