All New Fishy Happenings!

By Elizabeth M. Lukan to From Liz on Saturday, March 1st, 2008.

I have completely redone Fishy Happenings, the events listings for Fish ‘N’ Chips. It was driving me nuts how they were posting the old way. Every time I added an event it generated a mailing and they never sorted in an order that made sense. I mean really, who cared when I posted them, the important thing was the event’s date. So, I replaced the whole thing!

You can now find a listing of the upcoming events on the side menu of the newsletter section of my site. That list will only show the next five events. You can also find the Fishy Happenings on the site’s main menu in the Info section. There you’ll see a link to Fishy Happenings for the Upcoming Events and below that, a link to Past Events. The Upcoming Events are also available as an RSS Feed.

Announcements of events will no longer be emailed to you via your current subscription method. If you want to get the events, use the RSS Feed. At this point, I have no plans to setup a FeedBurner subscription service for them but if the demand is great enough, I will. So, let me know if that is what you want via comments to this post.

And, for those of you out there who run your own WordPress blogs and post events, here’s a plug for GigPress, the plugin that I’m now using for Fishy Happenings. Awesome, that’s what it is. Simply awesome!

    Love the new Fishy Happenings! The format is nice, the layout is easy to read and like you said, the order makes more sense.

    Honestly, I love the whole new re-incarnation of FNC. I like that I’m getting updates more often, and more timely and the whole site layout is really nice. Plus, I really like to be able to click on your Wallpapers category and get all the ones I may have missed right on one page!

    Good luck with the new site!
