AudioJungle is Live

Yesterday we mentioned it was on its way, and today I’m happy to announce that AudioJungle is officially online. You can access it via the top right of FlashDen where there is a little Flash | Audio switcher.

It’s a bit of a quiet launch today as we’re still running early tests to see how it performs out in the wild so to speak. Then tomorrow the marketing will begin as we work to get AudioJungle known and recognised, and of course to boost our audio author’s sales! (more…)

Foxhole Redesign

Since we launched this blog a couple of months ago, it’s always bothered me that the design looked like it was an afterthought. Since I had the task of creating an AudioJungle blog theme, I thought it was a good time to give the whole lot a refresh. And so, as you can see the foxhole is looking much more glamorous than before!

And I’ve got a few more features to come too. Next week I’ll be adding a User Link Feed, like we have at PSDTUTS and NETTUTS and also a “Awesome Flash Sites” feed, courtesy of our inspiration gallery FaveUp.

We’re also going to open up the blog for guest contributions, so if you’d like to write an article or tutorial on Flash, then let us know! We’ll include a link in the article back to your URL or FD homepage, as well as a two line bio.

FlashDen Refreshed!

There’s nothing like a spring clean to make you feel fresh and snappy. And since much of the world is in the height of spring, we thought we’d give FlashDen a little rejig in the form of a pair of new homepages coupled with a reskin of many of the site’s colours, header and footer.

So what’s new?

NETTUTS launched!

As you know the team behind FlashDen also puts together blogs and sites for creatives of all fields. Some of our sites include FreelanceSwitch – the blog for freelancers and PSDTUTS – the best photoshop tutorial site around (in my totally biased opinion).

This week we’re thrilled to launch another tutorial site for web designers and developers – NETTUTS! So far the site has mostly HTML/CSS tutorials, but I’ll be getting some awesome Flash tutorials in there too. Hopefully we’ll even get a dedicated Flash tutorial site out in the future. In the meantime take a moment and head over to NETTUTS and say hello!

Eden Gets a Makeover

As you know for some time we’ve been working on a FlashDen sister site – AudioJungle – and though the job has turned out a *tiny* bit bigger than we’d anticipated :-) We’re still well on our way. In preparation for this one of the more fun jobs I’ve gotten to do is to give our Eden brand a makeover.

Yesterday we launched our new Eden – http://eden.cc website and logo. It’s a friendlier looking brand and a bit simpler than the old version and should serve us well. In any case you’ll be seeing that logo appear a little more on FlashDen very soon!

Here’s a little comparison of the old and new:

The Foxhole is Back!

After more than a year, the FlashDen blog is back, and here to stay!

For those of you who were around with FlashDen in its early days, we used to have a blog called “Down the Foxhole” where I posted news and articles. Around early 2007 we had some plans to move it to another domain, and it got “temporarily” shelved. After many months it’s finally been revived here at blog.flashden!

So what can you expect here at the blog? Well competitions will be moving here, extras like the Showroom, site announcements – which up until now have been getting lost on the forums, and general articles and posts about Flash. Most importantly the blog will be another avenue for communication and discussion – something we all love at FlashDen!

I’m still putting the final touches on the blog, and then we’ll begin importing the latest stories to the homepage and put announcements up on the forums to let everyone know!
