We've Reached the End
I've officially reached the end of NMathai Photography and this blog. I've had a good run, don't you think? I actually began this blog as a personal journal of sorts back in 2006, and its come a long way since then...almost 200 posts, over 100 comments, thousands of visitors. It was fun while it lasted. Rest in peace, people.
OK...obviously, it's not the end. But going through many changes recently, this was another one that was in the works. And today, I am excited to reveal to all of you the new...everything! Here goes...
- New Name: The business will now be know as Nate Mathai Photography...it's a lot easier, don't you think?
- New Cards: With the new branding of the name/site, I got these super cool new business cards made up, too! I've already switched my image branding to the new logo and such (as you probably noticed awhile ago), but now it's all tying together. What do you think of these?
- New Site: I've completely revamped my blog and site...and in the process they got merged together to form my new and improved blogsite! There's still some features that will be added in due time, but I've been patient enough until now and got tired of waiting! So now the new site is located at http://www.natemathai.com/ (it's a lot easier, don't you think?). Make sure you update your bookmarks and RSS readers, because I won't be making any new posts to this one.
Why do I love my new site...let me count the reasons (this is more a way to help you navigate)...
1] Easy Commenting!
No more needing to leave the page or anything. Easily view/hide all comments, and add your own much faster! This is by far my favorite thing (...and to prove it, I've also added a shout-out to those who comment most at the top of the blog :))
2] Rotating Banner!
At the top of the page, you'll see some of my favorite images of my clients. Each to you reload the page, you'll get a new one. Changing content is a beautiful thing.
3] Photo Challenge Location!
Now there's an easy way to see the current and past challenges...just go up to the drop-down navigation under 'extras' and find everything you need! (You can also follow my progress in my 28 in 2008 in the 'extras' section)
4] Client Cart!
Also in the navigation at the top, you'll find a "clients" where you can view your events in your own gallery. I'll also post personal work on their available for purchase too (once I start shooting more personal fine art stuff)!
5] Mobile Ready!
For those of you who browse on your iPhone's and such, you can go to http://m.natemathai.com/ for a mobile-friendly version of the site!
I've pushed all my old posts from this blog to the new site, so there really is no reason to keep checking this one moving forward- unless for some reason you really want to read this one post again, or have an odd love for this blog design...then by all means, to each his own.
With that said, head over there now and have a blast! (Oh, and let me know what you think about it over there too!)
