News:500 Users Milestone

info@thebillmanager.com (TBM) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:01:01 -0800

Hello everyone,

It's a pleasure to announce that The Bill Manager has reached its 500+ users milestone. We've been growing at a steady pace since the website was launched back in October, 2007. I thank each and every person that has contributed to the growth of The Bill Manager, wether it was by suggesting features, making me aware of bugs, or by simply using the website, every one of you played an important part. I thank you all.

When the website was first started, the goal was to provide a free and easy to use tool for anyone to use. Each feature and update is designed with those two main goals in mind, and it's not always easy to keep to them. I often catch myself thinking "is this useful to everyone, or is this useful only to me?", that mindset came from the initial goal of building a bill manager for my personal use.

Right now I beleive the website is very close to it's goal, and it's taking even more steps towards it. Many features which have been suggested by users are currently in the process of being developed or tested. And others i'm still scracthing my head over. But the redesign of the website was the first step to addressing some issues, particulary the cramped space in the calendar. Plus the new design look much more professional.

What's in store for the future? Well, first all the new features need to be launched. And those include: reminders by text message, mobile version of the website, edit/delete deposits, budget controller, more reports, visual cues on calendar on which bills have been paid, and many more. Plans also include making the website more social, perhaps a forum, or a chat area.

That's it for now, I would love to hear from all of you on your thoughts.

Regards,

-Javier

Hello everyone,

As many of you have noticed, the website has been redesigned. This new design is much more professional looking, and also provides more usable content area. The wider area will address some space issues many of you have raised. Particularly in the calendar area. I am also working on several of the features that have been requested, as well as touching up some of the current features.

I would like to know what you guys think of the new design.

This blog's purpose is to serve as a place where I can share knowledge with an audience interested in everything about moolah! From news about moolah to advice about moolah! Postings here are either personally written or are articles that I have found will increase our knowledge about what is going on in the world today and what we should do to keep our wealth up in today's economy!"

News:Upcoming/Past Expenses Consolidated

I want to let you guys know of an important change. If you go to your bill manager page you will see that there are no longer two tabs: Upcoming Expenses and Past Expenses. Instead it's all consolidated into one tab: Expenses. Soon you will also see the Upcoming and Past expenses separated again in some way, I still don't know which way, but I think it's important that you can quickly see which expenses passed already.

News:Website Redesign

We are in the process of redesigning the website's overall layout. Our goal is to come up a layout that maximizes the amount of space available to expand the functionality of the Bill Manager control panel. This will allow more space for the calendar which is now cramped in a way for users who have many expenses in a single day, or that have expenses with a long name. We'll also be able to display more information about a particular item, like if it's already paid or not, without you having to find it in the past or upcoming expenses tabs.

News:Features Feedback

info@thebillmanager.com (TBM) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:01:01 -0800

We have turned the updates and news section into a sort of miniblog. What this allows us to do is announce a new feature, or a update to a feature, and then you guys can let us know what you think of it. This is great in the sense that it will allow you to know what other people thought about it, and see how they're using it, and it will serve as a centralized place for us to evaluate each individual feature's performance rather going through emails all day. Sp please don't hesitate to use this feature as it is another step we're taking in order to improve our service to you.
