New! Shiny! Functional!

The long road analogy, everyone makes it.  Everyone makes it because it’s so true.  Particularly when you’ve been working on something for month after month after month.  Like, say….this website.

Maybe you’ve noticed our shiny new design, or enjoyed how functional the whole site seems to be.  We’ve been tweaking and adjusting the site to run faster, better, and with less interruptions.  All designed to give you a better YdV experience.  So, go on!  Explore, have fun!

Here’s a glimpse of what’s new:

Commercial Street – A Public Service Announcement brought to you by, brand new, YdV Tv.  Features new instructional screens, enhanced navigation, and the new YdV Souvenir Shop.

Facebook!  Persistence pays off!  You asked, I answered and here is your button.  Have fun and like away!

Brand new rating system for YdV Product Reviews.  We’re taking rating vegan to a whole new level!

New navigation controls throughout the site, sharing made easier, and new twitter conversations- and much more.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s not new:

Free Vegan Event Calendar! Use it! Love it! Spread the word, YdV will help you advertise your next vegan event for free. We cool like that.

Vegan Lynx, our ever-growing list of great vegan reads on the web.  A fantastic place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon reading about all kinds of vegan shenanigans.  Is your vegan site listed?

The Daily Vegan Spin, our bad-ass unapologetic blog dedicated to all things vegan.  We’re always passionate, often controversial, and sometimes unbelievable- you can bet we’re gonna give you an honest opinion on…well, everything.

Stories of Vegan Evolution, our on-going series to showcase your personal stories of vegan evolution.  Let’s inspire vegans and non-vegans alike.

Guest Contributors, because we think you’re cool and you think we’re cool too.  We still offer a platform for all your rants and raves about being vegan.  So, if you enjoy writing about the vegan lifestyle, philosophy, cuisine, or any-vegan-thing, contact us about contributing a guest post.

And so much more!

A final note:

YdV simply wouldn’t be possible without some of the world’s most awesome readers.  That’s you.

So, thank you for being awesome.

And get ready peeps, I’ve got lots in store for us in 2011!!
