January 2010 - Major taosplaza.com Upgrade
The technology of our taosplaza.com site has been completely revamped for 2010. We worked on taosplaza.com behind the scenes during November and December of 2009, and went live in January 2010.
The technology upgrade is a full step up to the latest content management system (CMS) open-source technology. The previous version of taosplaza.com had grown to around 100,000 pages and that was straining the old system. The new system will allow us to post much more in the way of content articles and videos in new, better and more manageable ways.
We realized that it was time to re-think how we handled taosplaza.com content, so we've changed the way that our stories are posted and we're using new and better Sections and Categories. We even have a new menu system.
The former version of taosplaza.com was so huge that we had to leave behind some of the old content. We've kept many of the very best and most interesting content from the 'old' version of taosplaza.com. Some of these have been archived in our new Archive action, and some are still 'out front' for you to find easily. You can see all of these by going to the handy Site Map.
The images on taosplaza.com are now handled a bit differently. This is now better for operator and contributors who are posting content, and also more enjoyable for you, our site viewers. The newer articles have larger and generally better quality images. You'll notice the difference when you look at the content that was posted up through 2009.
taosplaza.com has always been about content. The site has grown exponentially to meet the demands of the content. Content is ideas. taosplaza.com really is about "Interesting Content for Intelligent People." And those people come from all over the world. According to QuantCast, 38% of taosplaza.com viewers are 35 to 49, and 38% are 50+. taosplaza.com viewers are 84% Caucasian and 7% Hispanic, 45% completed College and 20% Grad School. 56% of taosplaza.com viewers earn over $60,000 a year. and 81% over $30,000.
