What’s Happening At MBR?

Under Construction

If you’ve spent anything more 2 seconds you’ve probably noticed the supreme lack of recent blog updates.

whoops…

I’ve been so knee deep pushing out the 2010 Mobile Broadband Reviews and tweaking things around the site I simply forgot to put anything here.

I’m looking to change that.

 

From now on, you can look forward to the blog covering a couple things:

  • A place you can find out what’s happening with the site (i.e. how I’m working to make it better for you).
  • General news about mobile broadband that might now warrant an entire review (i.e. being able to cancel your contract thanks to a timely materially adverse change of contract)

This is just a starting point. Chances are this list will change and grow over time as we build this little community together. For now, here’s what been happening.

 

Site Updates:

I’ve posted a ton of new content since the year started. Pretty much everything falls into 2 categories:

1. Updated Mobile Broadband E-Course (check out the new course syllabus here).
2. Pumping out 2010 Mobile Broadband Reviews (existing postpaid and prepaid providers get updated along with new providers like DataJack & Millenicom).

 

Tweaks:

1. I finally fixed the footer.

While you may not have noticed, the blue bar didn’t spread across the bottom with the search bar as it did in the top navigation bar.

This irked me supremely.

After being on the back burner for awhile, I figured out how to fix it (bear with me, I’m a web designer by choice and not by profession aka self-taught).

 

2. The left sidebar is a lighter shade of blue.

I did this for aesthetic and semi-selfish reasons.

I think it looks better and people who wanna click on ads and help feed me can do so easier. While I’m not an advertisement fanatic I do still need to put food in my fridge.

If you’ve spent any length of time around here it’s not hard to tell that I put time in making graphics for the site in Photoshop (I not so secretly enjoy this) and creating quality content.

That’s about it for now.

 

What’s Coming?

I’m hammering away at finishing up a couple more prepaid reviews as well as some new (and not so new) devices that made their way into the world of mobile broadband.

On the way are:

  • A roundup of all Unlimited Mobile Broadband Providers (I’ll cover who’s the real deal and who’s faking it)
  • 2010 Mobile Broadband Rental Reviews (there are some new guys on the scene from last year and some of our oldies but goodies have made some cool improvements)
  • 2010 Broadband Card Comparison (& associated broadband card reviews)

 

Before we part ways though, I’ve got 2 questions for you:

1. What do you think about having both sidebars on the home page being a sandy yellow (the homepage’s right sidebar current color)?

2. Is there anything specific going on in the world of mobile broadband you want me to take a look at, review or check out?

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.
