Mactropolis is looking for a few good bloggers to join the team full or part-time to help stay on top of the daily Apple news. Blogging at Mactropolis is fun, rewarding, and easy to do. All that is required is a passion for Apple, and a little time each day to put fingers to the keyboard.

Plenty of engaging conversation going on today in the forums. Below are a few highlighted threads I’ve tagged as newsworthy. Check ‘em out and join the discussion… and if you haven’t already, go ahead and become a member of the forums. It’s fast, free and only takes a few minutes of your time!
Today’s highlighted threads:
Again, I’d love nothing more than for you to join us in the forums. Mactropolis is growing and growing… and growing! Plus, our first birthday is fast approaching. All members will be included in an exciting contest that is coming up soon… Stay tuned for more 
Long time readers may remember a post a while back about the BETA of a custom RSS reader of the website for Mobile Safari, I am pleased to announce that 2nd BETA of the service is starting again available soon at this address where you will be able to test out the new platform which features these enhancements……
Overall this new design is much more efficient although I am still seeing some problems with image resizing so I’ll have to see if I can do any editing to fix that!
A couple of people did mention that they had no idea how to use the service so as a rough guide you do not need to use any of Mobile Safari’s navigation buttons, you just tap the story you want to read, scroll down as per usual with any website and then if you would like to go back to more articles then tap the back to more articles button. Or if you would like to read the current story on the Mactropolis website then tap read more! Very simple very concise and built from the ground up for iPhones!
Well folks, after much work I’ve decided to pull the trigger and make the ‘new look’ live. What do you think? There are still a lot of kinks to work out of the system, but I think this is heading in the right direction. Once I get the blog up to speed, I’ll be working on transitioning the new look over to the forums and iPhone Wallpaper Gallery. Plus, I will be revising and trimming our forums into fewer categories to help simplify the forums and hopefully generate more discussion.
I know there are issues to be worked out here, but please do comment if you notice anything that needs to be addressed. I’m working on this vigorously!
On another note, Mactropolis’s first birthday is coming up soon… So expect a contest to help celebrate the occaision! Thanks to all for visiting, and I hope you keep coming back again and again for years to come!
Patience… Patience, I keep telling myself
The Mactropolis redesign is coming, but I think I might have over-promised the launch date a bit. Look for it next week… I’ll be posting news and announcements on it as soon as I have some juicy tid-bits about it. But it’s going to be good… That’s all I can tell you for now… And good things come to those who wait. At least that’s what I hear.
After much work an deliberation, the new Mactropolis will be launching shortly. Look for it to arrive on the blogs sometime mid to late this week. Following that, the forums will be getting a bit of an overhaul as well.
I can’t wait to get the new look up for everyone to enjoy. Stay tuned for it… and when it arrives, be sure to let me know what you think!
I’m very proud and excited to announce that a ‘new look’ Mactropolis is coming down the pipes real soon! The redesign will take things to a new level here at Mactropolis, and I’m hoping all of our great readers and members will enjoy the new digs!
It’s been almost a year now since Mactropolis started out as a simple little blog. Since then we’ve added forums, and an iPhone Wallpaper Gallery… The site has come a long way, and this redesign is just the first step to taking the site to new heights. I’m hoping you all stick around to see the changes and improvements.
Some notable changes to look out for:
Stay tuned… and as always, thanks for reading, visiting and spending your valuable time here at Mactropolis!
Mr. Mayor
Remember the ‘Join the Forums, Win an iPhone 3G Contest!‘? Sure you do! Well, the two big winners, webwise and Sam DaCool sent me a few ‘thank you’ pictures as you can see below.
You’ll notice the brand new iPhones in the pictures above. YES, here is photographic proof we really did give 2 iPhones away here Gotta spread the love… I don’t know of any other sites that gave away TWO brand new iPhones!? Correct me if I’m wrong here…
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone again for participating. What a great contest it was… But don’t go thinking now that the contests are going to end there…
Stay tuned for another contest coming soon to Mactropolis!
