Hack Your Day becomes more productive

I’ve just introduced some changes to the site, which you’ll most probably notice. Apart from the cool new social media buttons I made the biggest change is the related post and related products section which I invite you to browse at your own productive discretion.

The related products column shows some cool products I think have a lot in common with the post. I’m sorry to say that this is not the place for free stuff, so these will always be Amazon products, but they will be closely related to the post.

The related posts section will show some other posts like the one you just read, which works on a tag basis, in other words it shows random posts with the same tag. This also means that this won’t be properly working for a week or so, until I back-tag my posts.

These two productivity overhauls are accompanied by the back-tagging and categorizing of posts. This means that you will be able to navigate around Hack Your Day much more effectively and categories and tags will actually have meaning, not just being randomly assigned to posts. Categories will be very strictly defined, I plan to create a set category list.

There will be two types of categories, one for productivity methods, the other for apps. You can see this reflected below the titles, and there will be no other category types. Tags will be much more varied though, so if you’re looking for very specific posts, click through categories, if you’re just browsing around, look at the tags. I will be implementing tag clouds soon too, so navigational productivity will be awesome around here!

That’s about all there is to it, one or two things may be changed and added, but I’m done. I will also resume writing soon, but I’ve had a lot to do with Blogtastique, my new service for bloggers, which I have since got into managing so I will have time for some productivity.

Blogtastique logoI have been working quite hard in the last few days to complete and put a new site online called Blogtastique. The aim of the site is to help beginner bloggers churn out a truly quality site in a day, and to help pro bloggers manage their blogs.

With the free Basic Package we’ll install your Wordpress blog for example, recommend themes based on your content, recommend some cool plugins and generally give you some good tips about this and that. the Pro Package means we’ll make some theme customization for you, install plugins, third party applications like embedded Twitter, widgets and so on and we’ll try our best to synchronize the look of your blog with what you write about.

The Managment Package is for those of you who don’t like doing the “paperwork” that your blog generates. We’ll pre-configure your categories or optimize them for you, going through each post, we’ll create a custom theme just for you, we can check each new post for errors, we’ll moderate your comments, manage users, and generally do any task you bestow upon us.

Please take a look at this new service, I’m very excited to get started with it, if you have any questions, suggestions or want to sign up, please write to the Blogtastique team, you can find contacts in the contacts section of the Blogtastique.
