The National Recycling Coalition has just gone live with a new sub site for America Recycles Day, which is coming up on November 15.

I was fortunate enough to work on the project with the good folks at DDB Seattle. They did all the design work and my job was achieving their design in mojoPortal and building a couple of custom features like the Take The Pledge and Pass on The Pledge pages. Its nice to be involved in such a good cause. Recycling is something where each of us can make a difference with just a little effort and America Recycles Day is a good time to take a moment and commit to stepping up our efforts to recycle on an individual basis.

Added a couple of interesting new sites to the mojo Sites page this week.

A.Samarian submitted this nice site: http://yaldasazeh.com/ , I can't read it because its in Persian but it looks nice and is a good example of a site using Right To Left layout. Persian text is very beautiful.

Summit IT Solutions also did a great job with the custom skin they made for their site: http://summititsolutions.com/

Know of any more mojoPortal based sites not already listed on the mojo Sites page? Let me know and I'll add them.

I'm happy to announce the release of mojoPortal 2.2.3.9, available now on the download page.

I was going to wait and try to get finished with the Newsletter feature I'm working on for this release but since I'm getting side tracked with some customer work (which is a good thing) I thought I should go ahead and make a release to get the new skins out there.

This release contains a few bug fixes and 7 new skins as mentioned in my previous post.

I implemented 3 more new skins yesterday and 1 today. They all went fairly quickly because they are from the same designer, David Carter, and are all variations on the similar layout as used in the ticktockpro skin.

You can see these on the demo site:

http://demo.mojoportal.com/?skin=bluespring

http://demo.mojoportal.com/?skin=orangesunset

http://demo.mojoportal.com/?skin=turnitup

http://demo.mojoportal.com/?skin=businessone

The first 3 are in svn trunk and the 4th one will be in there in a few hours.

I'm still working on even more skins. I want mojoPortal to have a lot of great looking skins included. Any of them can be used as a starting point for further customization.

UPDATE 2007-09-15: added another new skin today:

 UPDATE 2007-09-16 added another new skin today:

 UPDATE 2007-09-17 added another new skin today, this one was suggested by Brian Nicol:

I'm happy to announce the release of mojoPortal 2.2.3.8. Its available now on the download page.

This release contains bug fixes since the last release, and the 3 new skins I implemented recently. Since these skins are much better looking than most of our existing skins I wanted to go ahead and make a release so people can use them.

I still plan to implement more new skins in the coming weeks.

As always be sure and back everything up before upgrading, read the upgrading tips, and post in the forums if you have any difficulties and I will try to help.

We did not release a new build for Mono, and probably won't do that until Mono 1.2.6 is released.
