New Blog Design For My Biz Partner and UBD Designer, Matt Blancarte
Posted on June 25, 2008 by Nate Whitehill
I am happy to announce that my long-time friend and business partner, Matt Blancarte, has unleashed a new design for his personal blog, Matt Blancarte dot Com. I have known Matt since we were juniors in high school, so it is cool to see his new brand materialize online.
Matt has been working with UBD since its August 2007 inception, but he has been blogging since July of 2007. Matt’s blog focuses mostly on design, business, and personal development. Matt just posted a detailed write-up on the process and functionality behind his new design.
In addition to being UBD’s lead designer, Matt will be speaking on the “Blog Design Makeover” this year at IZEA Fest, a convention for bloggers and online advertisers. IZEA Fest will be held on September 11-13, 2008 in Orlando, Florida. In addition to speaking at the event, UBD will also be exhibiting at the event with a booth.
Several other well-known bloggers will be speaking at the event including Jeremy Schoemaker, Loren Feldman of 1938 Media, John Chow, Neil Patel and Michael Brito, among many other famous faces.
Head on over to Matt’s blog and let him know what you think of the new design. Congratulations on the new redesign, Matt!

Oh yeah, i am bit late for expressing my feelings on Matt’ blog, new design, It’s such a wonderful, but i think, IMO, there is more amount of darkness, some times it’s stretches eyes, otherwise it’s a wonderful one, Congrats to Matt and UBD.

This is a very good design. It was a bit slow loading for me however. Probably just my connection.
