The FAQs and Events modules are out!

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 08:37:00 GMT

I'm extremely glad to say that today's update's gone smoothly and that both the Events and FAQs modules are already available.

If you already have an account, feel free to check them out right this moment. If you're still hesitant, sign up now and fiddle with them as much as you can... for free!

They look pretty cool indeed if we may say so ourselves, however if you spot any funky stuff going on with any of the modules that we may have overlooked please let us know and we will get on top of it immediately.

Can't wait anymore to see what the new modules look like? Check our demo sites to get an idea of what the modules look like in action... enjoy!

New modules in the neighborhood!

Thu, 13 Sep 2007 05:13:00 GMT

As some of you reported, things have been really quiet around here lately, mainly because the whole team has been working their fingers off coding, designing and waving their magic wand to bring you the next modules on the list.

Well, I'm glad to say that we already have a launch date for both the Events and FAQs modules... so make sure to access your content managers as of next Wednesday (September 19) and give these modules a try!

So as to keep the nuisance level to a minimum we will temporarily close access to Inserit's content manager on September 19 from 8am through 11am (GMT+1). I know, three hours is a heck of a time but we will most definitely be done way before then, it's just nicer to finish off sooner than expected than keep our users waiting around. We'll post a message once we are done publishing all updates.

Together with the modules we will also be publishing nice updates to the existing modules so, for example, starting on Wednesday you'll be able to easily sort your albums in the Image Gallery module by just dragging and dropping them around.

Stay tuned to new major updates!

Where did the forums go?

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 04:13:00 GMT

As some of you already know, we were obliged to close down the Inserit forums yesterday as a temporary measure due to constant spam attacks till we find better and less time-consuming ways of fighting 'human bots' (i.e. people that take the necessary time to fill out any profile form appropriately and then start cramming the forums with all type of junk).

We are really sorry about any inconvenience this may cause but rest assured we will reopen them soon. In the meantime, any comments or questions about Inserit can be addressed to support[at]inserit[dot]com, drop us a line we'll be glad to help!

Finally, the Image Gallery module!

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 02:21:00 GMT

It's taken a little bit longer than we expected but the Image Gallery module is finally available... curious about what it looks like? Check out our demo site here.

For those of you with already existing trial and subscription accounts, don't worry a bit -- just access your accounts as usual and you'll notice the Image Gallery module is already sitting on your left side menu... that's it, it's all yours to start playing with!

Just a quick note on how to get started, just as you did with the News module you'll first need to integrate this new module into your web editor. To do so, click on "Integrate modules" on the left side menu and then pick your choice.

Since you can totally customize your Image Gallery, it's up to you only to decide the level of sophistication you want to give it. It'd be a good idea to check the Image Gallery guide located under the Image Gallery section to get to know the lowdowns of each component.

For those of you who don't have an account just yet, go ahead and sign up to try all our available modules 30 days for free, no credit card or billing info required!

And don't forget to drop a vote on our poll (on the right hand side of the screen), we're constantly working on new modules and would certainly love to know which ones you'd like to get first!

This week's smashing release

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 23:56:00 GMT

Yay, we are all curling our toes with excitement! It finally looks like our Image Gallery module is undergoing its last tweaks and will be out in the open during this week.

This is certainly the module that's been getting more votes on our blog poll and causing more expectation and I can safely say you won't be deceived. Here's some of the features it includes:

- Last Published Images. Let users check the most recent images with a single click.

- List of Tags. Assign tags to your images and make it easier for visitors to find what they came in looking for.

- Tag Cloud. Yep, you read it right. What would an image gallery be without one of these? Visitors will be able to pick the tag they're interested in and view all its assigned images.

- RSS Feed. Let users grab your feed and stay tuned to recent publications.

If you wanna know what the Image Gallery is all about check its full description here. We'll be adding this new module to all existing subscription and trial accounts so don't worry about a thing, as soon as we launch it you'll find it sitting on your content manager's left menu ready for you to start using it.

The News module is already here!

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 11:22:00 GMT

I'm extremely glad to say that after some serious testing and over-checking on our side, the first of many more to come Inserit modules is finally here.

Ladies and gents... **drum roll background sound** let me introduce the gorgeous News module to all of you!

Even though it's taken a bit longer than what we promised I can safely say that as of today it's already sitting on our home page waiting for you to check it out. Feel free to give it a try and grab your FREE 30-days trial now!

Don't worry about a thing, no credit card or billing details required... if you don't like what you see, turn around and leave. The best thing that could happen to you is that we could actually make your life easier. Dare to give it a try?

Late, late!!

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 07:00:00 GMT

All through this week we've been asked over and over again about the exact date we were finally launching our first modules (since, as some of you may recall I personally announced in our last post we were releasing the very first module of many to come this week)... we have no excuse to be running late but the fact of being a bunch of obsessive nitpickers. We do apologize about that. So I assumed to make it up to all of you I'd post some pics of the whole team working its bones off.

The good news is we do have an official launch date so be ready to start using the News module on Wednesday (June 20th, 2007)... yep, THIS Wednesday! Because of this we will have to close the access to Inserit's content manager from 1pm through 4pm (GMT+1). The rest of the web services will remain intact and so all your blog contents will be displayed as usual.

We are really sorry about the delay and to prove it here's some pics to have a laugh at.

Update: Inseritcentral is back open again. I'm happy to say everything's gone smoothly and we're now celebrating it with a nice ice cream :) Thanks all of you for bearing with us!

Finally...THEY ARE HERE!

Tue, 29 May 2007 07:27:00 GMT

The first subscription modules, that is.

I'm extremely glad to say that starting next week we'll be launching our first module of many to come -- 18 to be exact.

The first one to pop its little head out will be the News module closely followed by the Image Gallery, Events and FAQs modules.

The long wait is finally over and we must thank all of you who've been patient enough to stay around waiting for this announcement.

If you're interested in getting to know how the whole thing is going to work, here's our deal:

All users will be able to try all currently available modules free of charge for 30 days. No credit card or billing info required, we just want you to check us out and play around with the modules. If you like what you see and feel like Inserit can be of some help to you, you'll be able to sign up through a subscription form. If, on the other hand, you don't like us simply cancel your account. No hard feelings attached.

For those of you that choose to subscribe, Inserit will be offering 3 different subscription plans according to the modules you're interested in. As of next week, we'll only have the first plan available but as we keep on launching new modules we'll open the rest of plans.

All new upcoming modules will be added to existing accounts totally free of charge. We could have waited to have the first 9 modules included within the "Go Smurfie" plan ready before launching but since we've been getting a constant flow of emails requesting some of the first modules to come (mainly the News and Image Gallery modules) we opted to make them available on a "first finished, first served" basis. :)

So stay tuned to new releases next week!

The last couple of weeks have been great for both Inserit and Inblogit, and it's all been because of you guys! So this post is for all of you who have taken a liking at us and have decided to help us spread the word...

Last week we decided to submit Inserit to the Startup 2.0 Awards and even though we were not amongst the selected finalists it certainly helped us make ourselves known amongst the web design community boosting both visits and registrations.

We want to thank all of you who have taken the time and effort to write a review, be it in Turkish, Spanish (twice!), German, or Italian.

Inblogit's been also posted on "101 Essential Freelancing Resources" and "The freelancer's toolset: 100 Web Apps for Everything You Will Possibly Need", feel free to check them out!

PS. We're possibly missing on some other reviews so we apologize in advance if we missed yours!

1,500 already?!

Thu, 12 Apr 2007 01:00:00 GMT

It looks like it was yesterday when we released our free blog module but it's actually been 3 and a half months already. Man, did they fly by!

During these 3 months a lot of stuff has happened and there's been quite a good amount of rushing around but the best part of it all has definitely been all of you guys. We've been so concentrated in releasing new features for our blog and improving the content manager that it almost passed unnoticed there were already 1,500 people around the globe using our blog. OK, that's not a whole lot but it's a nice start and it's just great to know that so many people trust us.

Needless to say, there was a cake and one too many toasts... I've posted a shot of the cake before and after and a pic of myself for you to make fun of.

More pics of the rest of the crew to follow, so stay tuned! :)
