And We Are Back

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.

Here’s a small list of some of the biggest changes that has been made to Ultra Swank.

  • The posts are now divided into categories so that you can easily browse the content and find what you are looking for.
  • Pagination has been added so that you can move between pages without any hassle.
  • The comments system has been improved so that posting a comment will be faster and easier than before.
  • A translation function courtesy of Google has been added so that people who are not familiar with English can read the posts in three other languages.
  • An archive has been added so that you can get a full overview of every post published.

These are just some of the changes and there are more additions in the planing stage that will be revealed later on. One idea I am toying with is to bring in a contributor or two that will regularly help out posting content to the blog. Thank you for being patient and I am hopeful that 2009 will be a great year for Ultra Swank.

Ultra Swank – Your one stop blog for retro living, style and design

Ultra Swank takes you back in time into the kitsch, chic and swank living of the 50s, 60s and the 70s. We mainly focus on the design, architecture and the lifestyle of the happy-go-lucky and space-age-living mentality of that era – but also on the music and movies that takes you back to happier times. Ultra Swank is run by Chris, a Swede born in the wrong decade that currently resides in Barcelona. Read more
