Redesigned BuildingsofDetroit.com launches

Besides the new look, you'll find two new buildings [[the Ford Building and Waterworks Park Tower) You'll also discover better linkage between buildings and architects, a search function and much more. Want to sound off? Each building now has a comment section, so you can share your memories or sound off. The photo galleries are now their own section, and you can break them down by category. If you want to just look at demolition photos without fussing with all those mouse clicks, now you can. Go ahead and take her for a spin and let us know of any bugs and what you think!

Looks good. I really like the write up on the 100 year old Ford Building.

The site redesign is a big improvement. Thanks.

Bring back the RSS Feed, I enjoyed keeping an eye on your site for updates such as the Lafayette demo. Maybe even the option to subscribe to individual buildings of interest.

Street address hyperlinks to google maps is a nice touch. Bing Maps birds-eye view would be even better.

Perhaps add unobtrusive Google Adsense Ads to the site, use the revenue to pay for your server fees and use the rest towards possibly protecting/preserving one of your favorite buildings... even if it's a buck or two a day, every bit helps.

Overall, great site.

Looks like V2.0 of the Buildings of Detroit website is completed.

Has anyone else on the forum checked it out yet?
