After yesterday’s Facebook vanity URL excitement I thought it was time for some renovations to the blog. I’ve added a banner and a background. At the moment the background image repeats down the page, but I’m sure there’s some CSS that will sort that out. If you know what that is feel free to leave a comment.
My next project is a link roll. I’m going to add Disqus soon too.
And in unrelated news I thought it was kind of funny that Chris Brogan has snubbed common sense with his Facebook username. It’s a curious way of making a point. If he really believed that the URL is not the gold then why include his real name at all? But Chris is a smart man. Who am I to question his wisdom?
And someone pinched problogger off Darren Rouse. Ouch. Darren’s lodging an IP claim with Facebook.
It is apparent that Chris was unable to get his vanity URL and is just trying to put a positive spin on it. He is good with words and motivating people. But his post screams out ‘I lost my url and look I am still a brand’.
Sadly, the context would’ve been totally different if he was able to pick up the url before the fellow in Glasgow did.
He isn’t your religious guru, you do have the right to question what doesn’t make sense? Unless if his own domain had always been dotchrisbrogan.com ?
My 2 cents.

Love the new logo Pete!! Looking great 🙂
Like the new look Peter. The logo looks great. I have tried tinkering with my site recently. I am trying to learn how to get a personal banner working properly and my tweet stream from loading faster. I also had Disqus working but can’t seem to figure it out now. I am a bit lazy and am using Squarespace. Are you also going to keep RMM site going or is this one going to replace it?
Love the new banner thingy mate – somewhat rustic indigenous Australia. Did you explore your creative flair or was it somebody else?
Thanks @nikki. @glen I’ve got Disqus going nicely on TREMM. It’s worthwhile. I’ll keep that site going for my real estate specific posts and this blog will focus on the effects of social media on organisational culture.
@mark the design is from Brett Nickisson of bnething designs. He’s a clever, clever man and a top guy to boot.
thanks for sharing your plan.
I love your new site. Great work!
