I made a bunch of updates to the main blog the past couple of days.

Totally redesigned the homepage and created a custom “Location” taxonomy to organize content by country, state, city, etc. This will allow me to scale Extra Chill to any capacity that I am able.

I also created a way to filter posts by location on the homepage, and location archive pages. This places classic artists among artists from local scenes, adding value to all of the music that is written about on Extra Chill.

Additionally, I stole the idea from Stereogum to have a reading progress indicator at the top of every blog post. So that as you scroll down the page, it shows you how much you have left to read. Just a simple little piece of javascript that adds a ton of value to the site. Hopefully it leads to people staying on the site for longer.

Now that I’ve finished that, it’s time to get back into writing articles. I have a few good ones in the pipeline.
