If you are wondering why new posts have been a bit sparse lately it is simple because I have relocated to a new country. I was offered a job in fantastic Barcelona, Spain and had to relocate with short notice. I am now slowly adjusting to my new home and organizing my things, which eats up most of my free time. The normal rate of posts will resume very soon. Bare with me please. (Image)

Time again for changes here at Ultra Swank. This is the forth major revision of the website since its launch in 2005. This time I have focused primarily in usability, speed and presentation of the content. Both images and videos are now displayed much bigger than before and if there are additional images, they are presented in a easy to use gallery under the text. Other changes are the introduction of regular contributors which are attached with their credentials to their posts. This also means that it is now possible to display the posts for each writer on Ultra Swank with one easy click.

What do you think about this update? Except to see some minor changes over the coming week while I tweak and change things as needed. What's good and what's maybe not so good? Is there anything that's not working or looks strange to you? Please drop some lines in the comments link here to the right, thank you!

What you are looking at right now represents many months of late night work sessions. Ultra Swank has been around for a little more than four years now and I thought it was due for a real change, to give it its own style and persona that represents more elegant and fun times. This new design, color scheme and art courtesy of extraordinary artist Blue Hipster (thank you!) hopefully represents that and I hope you will love it as much as I do. Of course it is not only the design that has been updated, a couple of really nice features has also been implemented. Interested in what? Find out after the link.

Welcome to the the cool side of the moon, I have worked hard to ensure that your stay will be an enjoyable and fun one. This update is the biggest one since the launch of the site back in September 2005 and lots of time and effort has been put into moving the blog into another publishing system while at the same time giving the design a update. The decision of moving over to Wordpress was a swell one and it will secure the future of Ultra Swank allowing it to grow and to have new features added easily. I would love to hear what you think of the changes. Is there anything that you dislike or could be improved? Please leave a comment or two to let me know what's on your mind. More information about the changes and the future of the blog after the jump.

If you are wondering why the number of posts have reduced somewhat lately it is because I am making some major changes to Ultra Swank and instead of bringing you new posts I am focusing my time on developing the new version and getting it ready for take off. I am hoping to have the new version of Ultra Swank up and running within a week or two and to keep you all entertained until then why don't you listen to some swank music? Bare with me, all good things are worth waiting for. See you on the other side of the moon! (Via)
