website almost complete. we've gone blog crazy.
Paul's making fab progress on the coding for our new site. When launched, the site will incorporate THREE blogs.
1. We've organized our portfolio in a blog. Works really well. Not at all traditional, but if you think of the typical blogger tools, like tags and posts, they work great for a portfolio.
2. This blog. We intended this to be a temporary project - to share the behind the scenes of a re-branding. The original plan was that the company's site would replace this blog, when launched. But we didn't expect the kind of popularity that we've achieved here - so we'll be integrating this into the site, and keep updates to what's happening at the agency.
3. Brand Flakes For Breakfast. Our company's primary blog is now enjoyed each morning by over 100K super smart readers a month, so we'd be fools not to feature a feed in the new ThinkPlaid site, too.

Running the portfolio through a blog based CMS is a great way to manage a portfolio. I've done it multiple times and found a few other plus sides to using them. You can archive them, disable certain projects, allow commenting (not usually recommended), and my favorite is that you can offer a feed to the portfolio. When ever you add a new project, people will be informed via RSS.
As for the other blogs; I look forward to reading them both ;-)
I love the portfolio idea!! Tim has some great ideas for utilizing it that I am borrowing!! I love the new project RSS feed! What a great idea!
I so love this blog!!
Tim - people subscribing to the portfolio via RSS. Awesome. Hadn't thought of that angle.
Great idea. Looks like others are appreciating as well. Thanks!
