e-MANcipate! pantyhose for men article page

Webmaster's blog at e-mancipate

- OK it's rather just a log, not a real blog -

29th of March, 2008.

- Many changes since my last post. Shot the second series (Collection e-MANcipate March 2008), and yesterday published the first images - that's the main thing. Also
- Bought a lot of Comfilon hose to illustrate the Reviews section, which is still under construction.

6th of Feb, 2008.

- There are several changes at e-MANcipate... I let you discover all of them by yourself this time... (and of course, newsletter subscribers got all the details... why don't you sign up now? it's on the index page, down and right).

5th of Feb, 2008.

- I am back for a week and reinstalling my computer, as I upgraded to latest tech, apart from having it repaired. I published the details of the "Do ladies like pantyhose on men" competition. Prizes will be covered from the ad revenue already generated by these pages.
- Already thinking heavily of the next photo shooting - for those who are not subscribed to our newsletter, it's going to be done in March. For those who are subscribed, I will share my thoughts with you soon.
- On Saturday I will leave again, and will be away till after mid-Feb, and, again, will not able to update e-MANcipate.

20th of Jan, 2008.

- My computer will only arrive on the day I will leave for business abroad... no updates before February. Sorry for that.

10th of Jan, 2008.

- My computer died on the 1st of January 2008. It will return to life sometime around the 18th. No data lost indeed. Till then, no new things.

30th of Dec, 2007.

- There was a problem with the comment module, so I removed it from most of the pages in a hurry a few days ago. Will come back to the issue next year.
- I have published the miniproject help-page at the activism panel. Really need your help with this webpage... come on, we need you!
- Seems that my SEO efforts have made their fruits: do a search on "pantyhose for men" on Google, and find our page easily...
- Happy Holidays for everone!

19th of Dec, 2007.

- Changed the link panel on index page to a new activism panel, as I would like to work together with you, reader of these pages. Wrote some of the content. Will update it during the holidays.
- I have found and uploaded some parts of the original website from... 2003. I really hope that some of the old guys will be happy to check it out :) You can see it in the archives.

2nd of Dec, 2007.

- Very busy in real life, no time for e-MANcipate.
- Made some SEO during the last week.
- And finally started to work on the hosiery review pages!

14th of Nov, 2007.

Back from a long trip abroad. I had no chance to work on e-MANcipate in the recent 10-something days.

3rd of Nov, 2007.

- Discovered that the newsletter subscription module did not work. Corrected it.

1st of Nov, 2007.

- Issued the 6th newsletter with very exciting news approaching... can't tell you more - subscribe if you are interested.
- Made small changes on the index page as I discovered that the promo stickers and the photos are actually being used - very good!
- Decided to take up the multilingual line again (do you remember the old e-MANcipate from 2003?) Posted a new job for a project manager at help pages.
- And the surprise: brand names for the collections are here as follows (those who subcribed for the newsletter do know why I hurried to find out this info):

Man and Woman: Gerbe Men Satin 20 (male model, French hose), Bellinda aktiv 20 (female model, German)
Colors: Philippe Serrano, "Stripe" (it's 'made in EU' generic brand)
Orange: Philippe Serrano, "Lusso"
Snake: Trasparenze, "Epicuro" (fine Italian)
Grey, Green, Play: from stylist's inventory, she didn't record
Blue: Gabriella (Poland)


31st of Oct, 2007.

Published the article about the photo shooting. Done some guerilla marketing over the web.

30th of Oct, 2007.

- I've been requested by many to state which hose we used for the photos. So I will, but it will take a time, as I put all the hose somewhere deep in my room, and the cleaning lady came a few time since the shooting... ETA: 2nd half on November.

29th of Oct, 2007.

- I am thinking of installing a voting module for the images to find out which do you like the most;
- And also a little customised Flash game, just for fun.

28th of Oct, 2007.

- Finished the Collection photos. Finally!!! But two more (non-collection) sets are waiting for a place however. I will utilize somehow the 'images' link from the main page in the future.
- Remade the photo on the index page, it's sharper now.
- Wrote an article about our plans.

21th of Oct, 2007.

- Remade the left menu bar of the index page, corrected letter type in some cases. Introduced 'images', 'promote' and 'press', and changed the 'about us' page.

- Wrote a new article for 'about us'. The old one is linked from the new one. The new is rather about the project than me. The main idea is that pantyhose for men is sexy, healthy and an issue with only positive sides.

- Wrote a new page for press.

- Created a new page for promotion, with embeddable images.

- Added a custom "404 - not found" page - just type in http://www.e-mancipate.net/blabla (or anything after the / sign) and see it.

- Removed hotlink protection, which means you can now use any of the e-mancipate images by simply linking to them. The primary reason was to be included in Google Image search (as it wasn't possible before). Read more about how to use the images!

- I also included the website in Google Webmasters, with an xml sitemap and let Google evaluate the images I use; just for better search ranking. Also added a html sitemap to the website instead of the old 'toc' page.

17th of Oct, 2007

- Article about Comfimay.

12th of Oct, 2007

- You can read about the photo shooting on Geraden's blog, as Geraden was so kind to publish the article I wrote about it.
