Hey everyone! Ryan here with some FABULOUS updates! First of all, if you're reading this post via RSS feed, MySpace or email, please immediately stop what you're doing and head over to the BloggingFringe.com home page. You'll notice the site looks a fair bit different now, with a search box and some other fun stuff.

First off, take a gander at the search box. We feel that part of the benefit of an online publication like Blogging Fringe is the ability to instantly jump to exactly the content you're looking for, and the easiest way to find that special something is through a search. Blogging Fringe has been around for an entire year now, so we've got a fair amount of articles, podcasts, videos, interviews, reviews and updates to check out. Search results always appear sorted by date so you can find the most recent stuff first.

Next, we have a list of the 10 most recent posts to the 'Blog' section of our site. Also not that what was once the home page has now moved to BloggingFringe.com/blog - the blog is still a very important part of blogging fringe, but we are trying to expand our offerings, and it made sense to move the blog off the homepage.

Also featured on the home page is our Twitter update widget. Right now we only have a few friends on Twitter, but you can very easily have your updates posted directly to the homepage of Blogging Fringe by going to Twitter.com and creating an account. Once you've done that, add bloggingfringe to your friends list, and we will add you back.

Soon, you'll be able to get everyone's Fringe-related updates through Twitter, but for now, it just works the normal way. You get 140 characters (about the length of a text message) to say anything you like. For example, "Just got out of the Yellow Venue, what a great performance!" is only 59 characters, so you can actually fit a fair amount in one post. If you choose to, you can also recieve Twitter updates over the phone, but don't forget that text messages can cost big money if you don't have a plan.

We are working hard on updating our information about the multitude of Fringe shows for 2007, and we are always looking for support in the way of money/Fringe Bucks/comp tickets, bloggers, photo sharers, opinion-givers, video-makers, and whatever else you can think of. We are no different from other Fringe patrons, we just want to share our stories with you.
