Perhaps our recent re-design was a little too... modern.

It's time to look back for some inspiration.

Arrows pointing to: - Concert dropdown filter where can choose event types to filter by. By default, shows only Concert event types - USA - click on this to get to the next screenshot showing USA states

bobserve redesign has arrived A new look with new features

Explainer for new bobserve redesign and new features

Tapping "Search" menu item calls up a full screen width menu with several search boxes and links Bobserve The Bob Dylan performance database

What's better than a search box?

A mega-menu with lots of search boxes!

bobserve.com

Lots of usability enhancements, big and small, throughout the site. I'll do a newsletter recap when I get chance.

Here's one: bobtalk search results now shows you words around the search term, and highlights the matched word.

The site redesign is here!
bobserve.com

Nothing imploded but I do see a few things that need tweaking.

Here's every "under construction" gif from the 1990s!
textfiles.com/underconstru...

The bobserve site redesign hopefully goes live in the next few days.

Full range of possible outcomes:

1. Everyone loves it
2. Everyone hates it
3. The site implodes due to coding errors

Screen shot of YouTube video entitled "Bob's Serve" showing a man in mid tennis serve on a tennis court

Gonna hang this under the Bobserve sign: "Not just Bob Dylan setlists"

bobserve redesign sneak peak:

Typing in setlist dates to look up shows is kind of a pain.

Soon you'll be able to point-and-click.

A bobserve site redesign is underway and nearly ready.

Would a video walkthrough of the whole site be helpful to anyone? I'm inclined to think no one would take the time to sit through it.

I'm thinking a newsletter documenting every feature with screenshots would be sufficient.

Independent report confirming bobserve.com does not have any trackers

I ran the Blacklight Inspection on bobserve showing there are no hidden pixel or other kinds of privacy-invading trackers. As designed.

Working on a site redesign, looking for inspiration

Hello, I'm reaching out to let vou know about a security incident that resulted in the email address from your Substack account being shared without your permission. I'm incredibly sorry this happened. We take our responsibility to protect vour data and vour privacy seriously, and we came up short here

A not so great nudge to remind me to finish deleting my site's substack account :-(

Marked-up changes on the setlist page

Home page early layout

Another home page layout

Setlist page concept that became the current incarnation

bobserve website design changes from pre and post 2023 launch.

Profile photo requirements are:

Type: jpg, jpeg, png

Max size: 1Mb

There are - I'll have to look it up in the code and get back to you. It's likely that the limit is 1mb.

Screen clip of the dylyricus myevents page at bobserve.com showing the profile photo in the header.

We now have profile photos at bobserve!

To add yours, go to menu:myself/myprofile and upload it there. Direct link: bobserve.com/user/profile

Now you'll see your own self on the myevents page, like mine below: bobserve.com/myevents

Look Back: An Eventful Week in January 1976 A play-by-play of Bob Dylan's Night of the Hurricane II, and what followed in Texas

A play-by-play of the second Night of the Hurricane 1976, as told through contemporary newspaper accounts. Plus other Bob Dylan appearances offstage and onstage afterwards in Texas.

Includes confirmation of songs not previously listed with Bob Dylan's participation (Mercedes Benz, etc).

Aaaaand we're back
