Happy New Year!
Yes I know New Year, is still about 12 hours away for the East Coast of United States, but it’s already 2010 in China…so on behalf of http://styleguidance.com we’d like to wish you a Happy New Year.
Google just updated their page rank...we are now...
Thanks to all the sites that linked to us!
Our launch press email and press page.
For those who don’t know, Style Guidance is basically a mix of Style Q&A, Style Advice, and Social Shopping…at least in this iteration(we have big plans for the site, but need to build up traffic before we can release the true vision for the big idea)
I posted the thoughts on a failed launch post a few days ago, and a few people on HN were wondering about the emails we sent out...
Thoughts on a failed launch
I was going to write this later, but I saw Paul Stamatiou’s post on HN, and figured I’ll give the other perspective.
Disclaimer for our users, this is written for the guys at HN, so it will cover things regular folks could care less about.
Style Guidance is a site that is meant to cover all those topics that have to do with style and beauty. Deep down it’s “just a...
One month anniversary.
Almost missed it, but today marks one month since the official launch of the site.
I’ll make a detailed post about our progress with all the different metrics, after the 12 days of style contest ends.

Now you might wonder why are we doing this. We are a new site, why are we spending so much money on this promotion?
The answer is simple, BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. $5K may seem like a lot of money, but it’s peanuts, when it comes to...

Another day, another update.
I know it feels like I’ve been doing a ton of updates to Style Guidance this week, and you are right. But there is a method to this madness, I’m trying to make everything perfect for that big promotion we are having less than two weeks from now.(starts December 14th)
If I’m shelling out more than $5K of my own money, the least I can do, is make sure the site look it’s...
Few more tweaks to the site
I know we had that huge update, just yesterday…but I had some inspiration today so here are a few more tweaks.
I’d say the most important one is support for Youtube videos. Now you can embed youtube videos, just by linking to the video in question. The system will automatically convert it to the embed code. As an added bonus, I’m using slightly wider resolutions, so you...
