It took a lot longer to reconstruct than we first thought, but we can now finally say that the Magic City MySpace Directory is back up and running. It’s the first such directory for an individual city or metropolitan area and we know that we don’t have everybody.
Go on over to Timetable and check it out, and stay tuned for a simple way to submit MySpace profiles to the directory beginning later this week!

This is a call for submissions to my Birmingham, our editorial section. While we give the whole song and dance about why my Birmingham exists over here, I’d like to take a moment to explain the original concept behind this as it may help encourage you to write in.
I had tried to start this section last year on my personal blog, Dre’s Ramblings, as a way to find out what people enjoyed or disliked about Birmingham, hoping that it may lead to additional conversation. The concept is definitely not something new; the best example out there is the This I Believe series, the revived series that invites individuals to write about their core beliefs.
It’s great for people to hear my thoughts, but it’s your site and my Birmingham, more than anything else, represents that. Continue reading

With all the hype associated with the iPhone, from the long lines to the long list of potential problems, most of us are aware that it will have an impact on how our sites work. So on Monday we began testing the iwPhone plugin and theme for WordPress.
There’s one problem with this test; we don’t own an iPhone. We have been able to check the site on our trusty G3 iBook (yes, we realize it’s old) using the iPhoney application to see how the site looks, but since it’s not an iPhone simulator, it’s not letting us know if it will work. Since we use WordPress MU, we assumed there’d be glitches, but we can’t tell, short of going out to the Apple Store and asking to use a phone.
So, if you happen to own an iPhone, do us a favor and check the main site out using it. Then come back here and let us know how we did. Of course, you could just let us know from there too. Any help would be appreciated. In the meantime, you can also check out Jeremy Flint’s post if you’re interested in how this thing works.

You may also want to head over to my Birmingham to read a reprinted editorial from André about the proposed BJCC expansion and entertainment district (or maybe its about something a little bigger…). Don’t forget to let us know what you think!
