Finally, after a few weeks of work and probably a few awkward nights for people who visit this site late, I’m happy to announce the launch of Popcorn, Soda, and Goobers Version 2. Let me introduce you to a few of the new features:
- A new logo and more prominent placement of other PSG initiatives: Flick4Friday and our DVD store. We’re hoping that readers out there will more actively participate in these two little initiatives of ours.
- Trailer of the Moment. Every time the site loads, you’ll see one of five trailers for movies that we’re antsy to see in the coming months.
- New Post Navigation. We’ve decided to re-organize our posts in hopes of making it easier for you to find the content you’re looking for. In our sidebar, we broke out special feature categories and a chronological view of our five most recent posts.
- New Post Organization. As part of the new post organization, we also have three main categories: In Theaters, On DVD, and Articles to feature our posts reviewing various movies and providing opinion pieces. These boxes will help direct you to the posts you’re looking for.
- Search. Rather than the calendar system we were using for archived posts. We realize it might be easier to look up posts directly. For any posts you want to find from way back just type and go.
- Consolidated Links. We’ve jumped on the trend for loaded blog footers. Here, you’ll find links to other great sites and more information on Popcorn, Soda and Goobers.
In addition to these design features, you’ll find an implementation of Digg. We hope you’ll make sure to Digg your favorite posts here at PSG. Also, with the new version comes a few new regular features to complement our free form schedule of reviews and editorial articles.
First, we’ll be providing updates for weekly DVD releases every Monday to help you stay on top of new movies to add to your Netflix or pick up for your collection. Second, every Wednesday, we’ll be posting our response to our weekly Flick4Friday prompt. When better to get thinking about a flick for Friday than on Hump Day? Finally, we’re bringing back the Weekly Roundup posts every Saturday in hopes to give you a sample of the best posts and videos we can find around the web.
As you can tell, PSG version 2 is not just a face lift. We’re changing it all up! To stay up to date and make sure you don’t miss anything, we really suggest you subscribe to our RSS feed. It’s easy to do, just click the links in our side navigation.
