If you’ve been watching this space at all, you’ll know that we’ve only touched on a few aspects of the new site, any discussions have been somewhat vague and updates less than regular. However, with a target launch date now set (more on this later, it is soon btw) we have decided that it’s finally time to share more about what’s to come. So, from now on, at least once a week, we will be sharing details on the features and methods behind the new site as well as some other exciting things we’re working on for eatsleepride. Also, we’re always open to any and all discussion, so if you’ve got ideas, questions or comments please feel free to add them to this blog, or get in touch by other means.

Starting point: If this is the first you’re reading about eatsleepride (you can call it ESR for short if you’re so inclined), I’d suggest a few previous posts would be a great place to begin.

1. A good introduction to the beginnings of ESR: HERE

2. What makes a good motorcycle site? This post touches on some of the things we’ve been considering while creating ESR (this topic has been a constant thread throughout our internal discussions and will probably never stop): HERE

3. There’s facebook and there’s Twitter, but what’s the best social networking model? We’ve spent countless hours exploring this and in the end, we did manage to make some decisions on which path to take eatsleepride down: HERE

4. Finally, some branding talk. Don’t be scared, branding is your friend and doesn’t always mean corporate propaganda: HERE

Hopefully you’ve now got a reasonable idea about what direction we’re taking eatsleepride in. We’ve spent longer (much, much longer) getting to this point than we originally planned, but along the way we’ve managed to truly refine what you’ll finally see when we switch off what you’re looking at now and switch on something that we hope will be embraced by the motorcycle community.

Next up: I’ll be touching on some of the “social” aspects of eatsleepride.
