Knoxify

The month of May was a big one for the site. Roughly 975 vis­i­tors stopped by and viewed 4,544 pages. Our RSS feed grew to 74 sub­scribers, a new high for Knoxify.

Given those stats, THANK YOU! We con­tinue to blog with lots of enthu­si­asm because of our awe­some readers.

Video Blog­ging
On May 2nd we pub­lished our very first video blog, ask­ing you for the win­ning Ken­tucky Derby picks. All of our video blog­ging efforts were made pos­si­ble by Knox­Tube, who gen­er­ously sup­plied us with a Flip Video Ultra recorder. Look for more entries soon on our Vimeo chan­nel, Knox­i­fied TV.

Pop­u­lar Con­tent
After 19 com­ments we learned the small things that our vis­i­tors like about Weigel’s and Pilot. We also told you about five sites that pro­vide a true inside take on what makes Knoxville great.

Cha-cha-changes
When this site was relaunched in Decem­ber of last year, we had every inten­tion of keep­ing the focus on Bran­don and Casey. After a state­ment from Jeremy Floyd of Hol­rob, we decided to alter our strategy.

Knoxville is a won­der­ful place to live, play and work. It would be self­ish to con­tinue post­ing only the views of the Knox­ify boys. So, we are in the midst of build­ing a group of all-star authors that will focus on the pos­i­tive energy in Knoxville.

Our goal, as a group, is to become the go-to place for the inside take on what makes Knoxville great.
