Since I figure the great majority of you are reading me on email, Google Reader or some other mechanism that allows you to never visit the site (I do it myself, certainly it’s not a criticism – lucky if I ever read an RSS feed on my PC instead of the blackberry), I thought I’d post a note about the site redesign so y’all could come check it out. I also liked the idea of doing a revamp and use post 1200 to announce it.\u00a0 (yes, that’s right, of the over 900 posts I have actually put up on the site, that means fully 300 or 25% get tossed out because I don’t think they are worth the space on the blogosphere).\u00a0 I actually understand though that not as many people come to the site as in the early years, as email subscriptions are up, and so are RSS feeds.\u00a0 I’ve tried to make it easier for everyone by actually adding the Facebook and Twitter links prominently on the front page.\u00a0 I’ve also installed an off-the-shelf plugin that reformats the entire site for iPhone and Blackberry use (bbry is just ok – iPhone is good to go).<\/p>\n
I think this is the second site redesign in the 5 years (almost anyway) of systematicHR, and honestly I’ve been sick of the old site for quite some time.\u00a0 I’m hoping that while this is a throwback to the old newsletter look and feel, it’s imminently more readable than the blogger look and feel.\u00a0 Please take a poke around, and let me know what you think.\u00a0 And if anything blows up, let me know – I get careless with my code since I’m really not a coder.<\/p>\n
That said, I also think it’s time to sign off for the year.\u00a0 Nobody reads this thing between December 20 and January 5 anyway.\u00a0 I’ve had a pretty good year, from going to work for one of the most prominent consultancies in the talent space, and growing quickly as a strategy and overall technology leader, to having Sumser call me one of the top 100 HR influencers<\/a>, to ending the year back on FOT’s top blogs list<\/a> (they decided to score differently this time).<\/p>\n I know I have been blogging less in the last couple of years, but as you know, I do this generally solo and anonymously.\u00a0 I ask for little back other than the (very) occasional comment to let me know people still read.\u00a0 At any rate, I’ll continue on to at least my 1000th post, as I have always promised, and we’ll figure it out from there.<\/p>\n Until January, I wish everyone a happy holiday and I look forward to our continued conversations.<\/p>\n Thanks for reading,<\/p>\n -Dubs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since I figure the great majority of you are reading me on email, Google Reader or some other mechanism that allows you to never visit the site (I do it myself, certainly it’s not a criticism – lucky if I…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1200"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1200\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1208,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1200\/revisions\/1208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
