We’d like to introduce…
Posted on April 3, 2009
Okay, so we decided instead of waiting for the big reveal until we are done with our second sample that we will give you a sneak peak now 
We’d like to Introduce: Andy, the blogsite
Andy, the blogsite, is named in honor of Andy Warhol (1928-1987).
Andy was a leader in the visual art movement of pop art. He was a fine artist, printmaker, and film maker. He became well known when he created art of iconic American products such as Cambell’s Soup cans and Coca Cola bottles. His paintings of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor also became quite popular. What we like best was his poineering efforts in silkscreening his art that allowed it to be enjoyed by many. We designed our blogsite to embrace the same idea of being a work of art, built in a way to allow it to be purchased for a much lower price then a custom blog would cost. With this blogsite you’ll be able to really make it your own!
A BIT ABOUT ANDY:
Location: http://www.portfoliositez.com/andy/
Price:
$10/mo or $100/yr ($20 setup fee) for a service (includes 1gig hosting, 10 gigs transfer)
$150 individual purchase (only $100 if a blank version of the latest wordpress is already installed)
$5/mo ($20 setup fee) if added on to a current Psitez service
Andy, the blogsite, is built upon the latest wordpress blog.
You’ve seen wordpress blogs before, well, this blogsite is like a regular wordpress blog with a fine Armani suit on. As long as you have the latest wordpress blog installed you’ll be able to accessorize and transform your blog with our PSitez touches. 
You’ll use your wordpress admin to do everything you normally would such as create pages, blog posts, add widgets, etc. You then can use the PSitez sitezadmin to give it a facelift and to utilize a few features built just for you. You can use the PSitez admin to edit the following blog settings:
- All blog colors
- Blogsite image (including placement, tiling, etc.)
- Font for titles and general text (must be html supported font)
- Blog Post separating line/graphic
- Menu placement (above or below the flash header)
- Whether or not to show the date below the post title
- Whether or not to show the top search box
- Whether or not to show the rss feed button
- Edit the copyright line at the bottom of the pages
- manage menu button placement
You can use the PSitez admin to also use the blogsite only features that aren’t a part of wordpress such as:
- The calendar section
- Unlimited galleries with unlimited images
- Contact section
- Bio section at top of main blog home page
- Choose between 3 different flash headers and upload images/set colors for them – homepage/main blog page
- Choose between 3 different flash headers and upload images/set colors for them – wordpress content pages
- Add music to your site library, then you can select multiple songs to play in each gallery so each gallery has its own unique jukebox
- Add watermark to your header and gallery images
- Meta tags
- Google Statistics placement
- Add external links to the main menu
You can even put in flv videos into all your posts and pages!
** please note, this blogsite does not have proofing, but can link out to third party proofing systems such as The Photo Cart. You can also use this blogsite with the flash site, linking out to your flash site on the main menu.
Below is the sample with a custom background image uploaded. Stay tuned as we launch the version with the background changing colors! Did we mention your twitter feed can be integrated directly within the flash header? 
Stay tuned today as we showcase a new look for Andy, including the menu below the header, a color changing background, and the calendar section! We will also announce our SALE and the winner for our photo contest!
We will have our online order page setup for Andy later today; this will be for pre-orders only. Andy will not start being setup until this Wed. (April 8th). We need time to ensure he is an perfect as possible before formally being let out into the world
