Just a quick post to highlight a few mojoPortal sites that have come to my attention recently.

The City of Escondido California went live with their main site using mojoPortal back in December of 2010, but more recently they went live with a new site for their Police Department and for Recreation, and work is under way for a new site for their Fire Department.

Quoting Jamie Eubanks, a developer in the IT Department for the city:

"the PD site was pretty straightforward this time around (nothing custom). I can say that it's the great out-of-the-box flexibility of mojoPortal that allowed us to create a large and comprehensive site like this with no programming on our part. This is also our first site which was developed end-to-end by our webmaster with minimal technical support needed. She developed the site skin from scratch in Artisteer, and reused some of the layout.master tweaks we developed for the main site (like the Google Translate widget at the top of each page)."

Another recent site is the Solar Europa site designed by The Design Loft, one of our partners in the UK. They have done over 20 projects so far using mojoPortal.

We are continually adding new sites to our mojo Sites list. If you've designed a mojoPortal site that you are particularly proud of, let us know, we'd love to hear about it and maybe we will feature your site in a blog post.

mojoPortal is catching on in local and state government as a way to improve web presence quality and reduce cost and effort of maintaining web sites and managing their content.

Yesterday after a year of work, the City of Escondido California went live with their new web site built on mojoPortal.

Just a quick post to highlight an impressive new site running on mojoPortal. The Metro Transit site for the Minneapolis/St. Paul area is now running on mojoPortal. The site is very attractive and has a lot of custom features developed to support Metro Transit system needs.

John Sanborn, the developer of the site has done a great job with this site and because of all the existing functionality in the mojoPortal framework, was able to focus on developing his needed custom functionality. Quoting John:

I have to tell you, working with mojoPortal has been a joy. Your work is inspiring and all the documentation on the site and access to the forums have really made this whole project so much easier.

The marketing people that manage all the content and input the news and alerts and maintain all the content are pretty excited about all this.

It is great to hear the success stories from our community. If you've done something really impressive with mojoPortal, let us know and maybe we will feature your site in a blog post too!

Just a quick post to welcome our newest consulting partner, TRIAD Comunications. TRIAD has already deployed 16 sites using mojoPortal and all of them are very nicely done.

My favorite is the site for Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I've been watching the Ken Burns DVD box set about the National Parks with my Dad over the last few weeks, so I was very pleased to see a National Park web site using mojoPortal.

I look forward to seeing more mojoPortal sites from TRIAD.

Just a quick post to highlight a few cool mojPortal sites that have com to my attention recently.

12th Street Sports Bar - Tim Cartwright of US Interactive did a great job with this site for the show on Fox College Sports TV Channel.

b square, a site designed by TEAK. Notice that they implemented multiple languages and a cool language switcher and this was done with no changes to the core of mojoPortal.

Yamisee.com designed by David Dean, as David describes the site, "Yamisee.com is a new concept that allows anyone who is an expert in a field to easily post course descriptions, and deliver live content in unique virtual rooms. The site is not even at an alpha stage, but early adopters can register and launch instant meetings or schedule online meetings for free. It's a webex like experience (that part is not mojo), with enhanced meeting rooms that allow for visual, non-verbal feedback coming soon."

Antioch Community Church designed by Joe Davis of i7 Media. I really like the menu design with 2 levels of horizontal menus. Joe has even made a free skin available to the community with a menu design like this.

Adamson UAE, submitted to our Success Stories Forum just this morning has a very nice design.

cmstream.net is a site brought to my attention recently. The most interesting thing is that the site is running on Linux using Mono.

If you're doing cool things with mojoPortal let us know, we'd love to hear from you.

On a side note, this site is running the latest code testing new features for the coming release. As you'll notice for this blog post I'm now using IntenseDebate for the comments. I've also implemented support for Disqus so you will have a choice to use that as well though I'm currently finding some issues with Disqus that I'm hoping they can fix on their end or advise me on what I can do. I've added a new setting in the blog where you can choose the comment system with options Internal, IntenseDebate, and Disqus. I also implemented it such that if you have existing posts with comments already made using the internal comment system, those posts will continue to use the internal comment system but new posts will use the currently selected comment system. So this is my first post using IntenseDebate. I look forward to seeing if this increases the amount of comments or not.
