R.I.P. NakedWithSocksOn.com – I Moved & Improved

How’s it going, Sock Heads. If you’re reading this then I didn’t lose you in the switch—if you even realized. If you take a look at the address in your web browser you’ll see that I’ve officially moved the site from NakedWithSocksOn.com to NWSO.net. Moving forward this is where you’ll get your daily dose of NWSO, so be sure to update your bookmarks, GoogleReader, blog rolls, RSS feed, etc.

Now the question for some may be, why? Well, over the past year and a half I’ve heard from some folks that they couldn’t read the sit at work because it was firewalled by their company because of the word “naked.” In an effort to work around that I opted for the more PC domain name NWSO.net (sorry, nwso.com was already taken by Sony).

For the most part, the switch over should be pretty seamless as anyone going to the old address or links will be redirected here. Also, subscribers need not worry as I switched the RSS feed as well, so y’all should get your daily email alerts about new posts the same as always (CLICK HERE to subscribe). If anyone comes across any issues or broken links just let me know as there might be one or two quirks that I missed. So any heads up as you explore the site would be appreciated.

Along with the new address there a few subtle updates to the site.

  1. You’ll notice at the top of the page there’s FaceBook “like” button. I figure this will come in handy for the secret lurkers that visit but don’t like to comment.
  2. At the bottom of the post you’ll notice that the share options are bigger and bolder. Basically, that’s where you can tweet, FaceBook, or grab the RSS feed of any post with the click of a button.
  3. I added an app a plug-in for iPhone users so you can view the site on your mobile more streamlined. Hopefully, I’ll have a BlackBerry-friendly app plug-in in the near future for the rest of you cell phone readers.
  4. I added a direct reply option in comments so that instead of commenting to someone all the way at the bottom, you can click “reply” under their comment and your response will appear right below theirs.

There should a few more updates in the coming weeks, including the online store for NWSO T-shirts and products—finally—and other technical upgrades until I can get the complete redesign in motion. Anyway, until then look around the site and please update your blog rolls, bookmarks, GoogleReader and RSS feeds, etc.

Before I go, definitely want to send thanx as always to Cam and Will from Random Order Media Group and the Table of Truth for their continued creative contributions to the evolution of the site. If you need the hook up for your own blog, be sure to give them a holla.

And don’t forget Paul Carrick Brunson’s Modern Day Matchmaker Live tour is this Thursday, June 3, in NYC. If you haven’t copped your tickets yet CLICK HERE and don’t forget to enter “NWSO” as your discount code to get 20% off. I know times are tough financially for a lot of folks, so that’s why I’m glad there’s now a third, more cost-effective pricing option. Don’t wait until the last minute because Wednesday is the last day to buy tickets for the show and after party.

Looking forward to seeing y’all Thursday, June 3 at Providence—located at 311 West 57th Street, NYC. Doors open at 8pm and the show, which will be taped, will run from 8:30 to 10:30. The after party, which will give folks the chance to mingle with the panel, will kickoff directly after and go until 2am. For more info, hit the official FaceBook invite.

  • SaveMe

    It looks great. I will be posting more

  • http://www.msblackmansbriefing.com MsBlackmanSays

    I'm trying to search for your iPhone app but not seeing it anywhere... should I type NWSO, Naked with socks? Please let me know.

  • http://nwso.net/ NWSO

    Okay, MsBlackman

    That's my bad, I'm not an iPhone user so I used the wrong terminology. I guess I didn't add an "app" but a site plug-in that should make the general viewing experience on an iPhone smoother and more streamline than it looked before. I know it looks messed up on my BlackBerry and have to view in column view for it to look pretty LOL. You shouldn't have that issue, if you did at all.

  • Gemini

    The new set-up will take some getting used to for me.

  • MsBlackmanSays

    No problem. Lol. Yes it looks great from my iPhone. And you kind sir, need to upgrade your phone! :-)

  • dkwatts

    I can now read NWSO @work! 'Something' about the old site caused it to get blocked by the porn filter. LOL. Thanks for the name change.

  • http://nwso.net/ NWSO

    cool. good deal. wouldn't have wanted to move for nothing. lol

  • http://nwso.net/ NWSO

    But this IS my upgrade. lol. baby steps, baby steps

  • http://nwso.net/ NWSO

    I assume it was the word "naked" in url. so hopefully this new address continues to slip pass the censor board. lol

  • EmotionalFUnk

    I love rhe new changes especially the @reply to peoples comments now.

  • Jessica J

    Ech ehm, Naked I will take full credit for you adding the Facebook like button. I am quite psychic myself so I knew you would do it. I'll take my 15% by Chase Direct Deposit. Thanks lol.

  • http://nwso.net/ NWSO

    Actually my designer added it on his own. honest. I had nothing to do with it.

  • Jessica J

    Un hmmm Naked. UM HMMMMM! (Gives strong suspicious eyeball glare, see's it has on effect, then goes away to like other NWSO things.)
