WhyILoveChicago.com Update

Posted on May 8, 2009 by Arthur Kay.

Over the past week, I’ve spent some time updating WhyILoveChicago.com with a much-needed facelift.

For starters, the site is now coded in .NET!

I also made the template much wider than before, and started promoting the various parntnerships I’ve formed (notably StubHub and Hotels.com). The homepage has also been updated with a YUI TabView object, which really adds some flair.

Sadly, I’m failing to get GoDaddy to properly handle my 404 redirects. . . which might bite me in the ass for SEO. Since the old site was coded in Classic ASP and the new site is in .NET, I can’t brute-force the 404 redirects in Classic ASP. I’m really hoping this won’t kill my organic search revenue!

If anyone has feedback, I’d be really happy to hear it!
