It's grow time!

A few weeks ago, right as we were heading into the holidays in fact, we launched the new design for our website. It was something we had been gearing toward for months and I'm pretty sure some of my friends may have wondered if it was ever really going to happen! Well, it happened, and the response has been awesome. Comments from new users such as Jenny who let our San Francisco editor know, "Holy Toledo, it is a work of art!" or Veronica who wrote in through our feedback link to say, "The best website I've found for me and my family," well, I can't even say how much we appreciate these comments. It's been a long process getting the site to it's current state, and we are so happy to finally be at the stage where people can really take advantage of it in finding great things to do with the kids locally.

We're still adding features and functions to the site at a furious pace. For those of you who have asked for the ability to post comments regarding events and venues you've experienced, we're adding the commenting feature this week. Also, for those of you who are like me and LOVE to find the least expensive way to spend the most fun time with the kids, we're putting up the Price filter this week as well. In fact, we'll be adding one or two significant features per week for the next several weeks. For instance, many of our users have asked for the ability to post photos taken at the many venues we list...that'll be coming up soon along with a bunch more features that will hopefully make the site ever more useful to parents in our target cities.

And that leads me to mention we'll also be adding cities and regions! Next up is Lake Tahoe, which we expect to make available in the next few days. I was in Lake Tahoe this past weekend with the family, and actually found the Kidzone in Truckee through the listings in Famplosion supplied by our most excellent Tahoe editor who also manages a site called tahoekidsguide.com. My city kids were not all that into the snow just yet, so thankfully, there were several indoor activities to choose from!

Basically, there's a lot more coming up for us in the coming weeks, and I'll be announcing everything here at a pretty frequent rate. Check back for the latest and greatest and keep the comments coming! We love hearing from everyone!
