Relaunch of my Website!

Posted by Jelena Jensen under uncategorized|Tags: |Leave a comment

This entry is long overdue, but I’ve been really busy with the relaunch of my website.  Some models say that they run their own site, but they don’t do everything themselves.  I, on the other hand, do.  And since I run the website entirely on my own, I have a lot on my hands.  I would have to say that the relaunch of my site was the most difficult thing I’ve done since taking over my site three and a half years ago.  A lot goes into relaunching a site…especially since I also moved my site onto a new server.

First I had to re-name and compress all of my existing content.  I’m OCD and super organized so I wanted the content on my site to be seamless, organized and concise.  Makes everything much easier in the long run so I figured that I should take the time to do it now as opposed to later or never doing it at all.  This was probably the reason why it took me so long to do the relaunch.  Only because I want it done right.

Then I had to upload all of the content to my new server.  My old host was awful so I got set up with the best hosting company on the planet (they truly are…the best customer service and tech support I’ve ever experienced in any facet of my life) and now my site runs much faster and has better support if any problems occur.  Definitely a bonus for me, as well as for the members of my site.

Next was having to set up the new content management software that my site now runs on.  I use content management software to run my site so that when I’m out of town I don’t need to manually update my site…it just updates on it’s own.  My site was run by content management software in the past but it wasn’t the greatest program.  The new software I have now is state of the art and the best in subscription site based cms.  I can’t even tell you how many things this new software allows me to do with my site.  I love it and it’s definitely not only made my life easier, but it has also improved the appearance and function of my site tenfold!  I’m now able to display tons of features on the members homepage…upcoming content, latest updates, featured store and auction items, polls, featured videos, my webcam schedule and suggested sites.

After setting up the cms and making the site appear the way that I wanted it to, I had the tedious task of scheduling all the content.  As I said before, I’m super organized and this worked out to my advantage.  I have kept publishing schedules since I began running my site.  So I had records of what content went up on the site on what date.  This made it easier to put the content up in the correct order of appearance.  If I hadn’t kept detailed publishing schedules then it would have been a huge pain to match all my content with the correct date.  Scheduling content is a little time consuming.  I have to input the title of the set, what date is appears on, the description, what categories it falls under, what model(s) appears in the set/video, and then I have to import it into the system.  After it’s imported I have to tell the software what thumbnails or photo zips I want it to create and then I have to wait for it to create them.  So a lot more goes into putting content up on a site than you might imagine.  Once everything is created I have to select the main thumbnail and crop it to certain specifications.  Then the set is done.  I had to do that for hundreds of videos and thousands of photos!

I also had to set up other areas of the site…move my message board from the old site to the new one, set up my webcam page, set up the girlfriend profiles and create the thumbs for that, etc.  I relaunched the site a month ago and have spent the past few weeks fixing little bugs that are expected when starting up a new site.  But things seem to be running smoothly now and I’m excited to have an amazing website for my members!

I’m currently updating every single day!  On Monday my members get a photoset.  Tuesday the previous week’s Camz network chat goes up to be archived so those that missed it can watch the entire thing.  Wednesday is a candid photoset…I travel and do all kinds of fun stuff and I’m always taking photos for my members to get in on the fun.  Thursday another photoset goes up.  Friday a sexy video goes up and once in a while I do a video diary for my members where they can ask me questions and I answer them on camera…so you know it’s truly me and not someone else answering them online.  Saturday my Members Only chat goes up on the site from the week before so that, once again, if you missed it you can view it on the site.  And Sunday is a girlfriend photoset where you get to see a sexy girlfriend of mine every week!  So as you can see, there are tons of photosets and videos for you to see on my site.  The photosets I post vary from glamour to amateur to fetish to artistic to soft girl/girl.  And my videos are just as varied as well!

I work really hard on my site…it’s a full time job!  And I try to make it the best that it can be.  So if you’re not already a member, go check it out and see what you’ve been missing!  I promise that you won’t be disappointed!

Your cam led me to your site which led me to your MySpace page which in turn led me to your blog. I must say that I enjoyed the trip. Having seen your official site and reading what it took for you to make it a reality, I feel compelled to become a member. Very impressive!
