CanDevs site update

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 11:12:56 GMT

A few changes have been made to CanDevs. These changes should make it easier for me to get the site itself updated, as well as to make visitors more aware of posted news.

One change is that the blog has moved, so new postings will appear on the local domain rather than on Wordpress.

The other changes are that CanDevs news can now be followed on Facebook and Twitter, as well as RSS feeds:

CanDevs on Facebook

CanDevs on RSS

CanDevs on Twitter

The links to the above feeds can also be found on the CanDevs home page. Email notifications and RSS feeds previously provided by Feedburner are still active.

Thanks for your patience!
