Novembeard

So the month is up! Glad you guys stuck with it! We’ll keep accepting photos for those of you that want to keep going.

I’ll be working with Brian this week to put together the flipbook tool, so you can share with your friends & family. We’ll also get to vote on the best beard Photo from NovemBeard.

I want to thank Clear, BKWLD and everyone else for joining us this November. It was fun!

Check back soon for the beard flipbook and voting on beard of the month!

PS. Sorry we didn’t get to the comments, the end of the month was busy for us at Squad. We’ll definitely have comments next year.

Thanks to everyone who’s made this far! It’s not easy. So, yes Riley we forgive you!

I have some cool things planned (voting & flipbook) for the end of the month… so I’ll keep you updated. And yes comments are coming soon. I’m planning on running this into December for those of you going for the long haul.

Quick Update: Brian and I are going to be working on a comment system over the weekend. We hope to have this up Monday VERY SOON.

After that we’ll be working on a way to add info about yourself to your user page. If you have any ideas you’d like us to consider, email me.

The email photo system is working much better and photo updates are 10x faster. Thanks Brian!

Your photos are now updated every five minutes and get resized if any larger than 800 pixels. I also added a view user page over the weekend. This is one update of many more to come.

Also, Josh recently setup the Novembeard 2007 Flickr group for those of you interested in more Novembeard fun!

The scruff got ya down? This video might cheer you up.

Thanks to everyone participating in NovemBEARD 2007! Haven’t joined in yet? Now’s the time while the month is still young!

I also want to thank everyone at Squad for their help in making Novembeard happen. Without Andy’s logo design, Brian’s development work, and Phil’s IT help I couldn’t have made this happen. Especially considering we started building this site only four days before it had to launch.

Have suggestions or features you’d like to see on the site? Just drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do. Expect to see a few new features in the next week.

Hey guys… and one gal? We’re having some minor email issues with adding photos right now but most seem to be working fine. To ensure your photo gets added, send as a plain text email with no text in the body. In most cases this seems to be working great but for those that don’t go live, we’ll be adding them manually. We expect to get this resolved over the weekend.

Also Joshua Mauldin of Squad started a Novembeard Flickr Group for those of you that wish to join.

Thanks for checking us out! We hope to see many amazing beards this month. Thanks to the members of Clear & BKWLD for joining us on the road to beard stardom!
