There was an uptick in user registrations this morning and after a little investigation I discovered that 37signals posted a note about Periscope Gadget. Thanks, Jason! It’s amazing to me how posts like this happen without any solicitation and I’m very grateful they do… exposure for Periscope is always a good thing.
New look for the site & blog brings us another step closer…

This morning I updated the look of both the main site and the blog. I’m going for as much overlap in their look as possible, so I did some CSS magic on the theme that I am using (which is Konstruktors‘ Sans-Serif Racer) which I absolutely love. Thanks Kaspars!
Also, I added global navigation that I think is pretty close to what you’ll see when Periscope goes live. Yes, you’ll be able to login to the site and configure some things like how many Basecamp accounts you have, what their URL’s are, your credentials for each one and more mundane stuff like changing your Periscope password, your personal details and more. I think I’ll do a screencast of this in the future, so watch this space!
Periscope has been in the back of my mind now for the longest time, so I thought I would share an early screenshot (February 2008) of the gadget. You’ll notice that in addition to the two tabs you may have seen in other screenshots and screencasts, there is also a “To-Do” tab. I originally wanted to put EVERYTHING I possibly could into Periscope, but quickly realized that I would never release a product if I tried that (thanks 37signals) — so, don’t be discouraged! To-do’s are something I’m thinking about, and something I will hopefully add in a later release. Just not now! I thought the screenshot was kinda cool to see how the gadget has evolved.

OK, so this is really just a double post on their part, but a good thing for Periscope nonetheless. 37signals posted a summary on their SVN blog that included Periscope from the Product Blog. And, of course, now we are experiencing some additional load on the webhost and another flurry of beta registrations. Both are good things, keep them coming!
To sign up for beta, fill out the form on the Periscope Gadget home page — you’ll be SO glad you did! And don’t forget to follow Periscope on Twitter for the latest news and hints.

Want a great reason to start a blog? How about 37signals writes a short post about something you’re doing (Periscope) without your knowledge, and now you’ve got enough signups in your Beta release to warrant an actual beta!
So, this turns out to be the first post as a result. I’m hoping to keep Periscope, its development, progress and evolution as open and transparent as possible! Stay with me as I grow this blog, add more and more info, and talk about how it’s going with the gadget.
