The 2012 Xone: Coming Real Xoon!

**Gare** · 11 January 2012, 01:03 PM

Hi everyone—

Okay, it's January 11th here in the States, which means that some of us, including myself, have been wondering and/or asking about the 2012 Edition of the Xara Xone.

The good news is that January is in the can (that's Hollywood Talk for it's done, not that it's in the WC), and the bad news is we're having a tinch of a technical difficulty migrating the new website to its permanent home on the servers.

I think you'll like what you see, I think you'll be able to see in with the next few days, and all of us involved with it thank you for any patience you can spare!

Up front, I'd like to thank Gary Priester for inventing the Xone and setting the tone for it online, and special thanks to Barbara Bouton (my better half, if you ever met me), who has busted for several weeks recasting The Xara Xone as a WordPress CMS system. We wanted the Xone to be easy to manage in the future, so I could spend my time creating content, and not wrestling with code.

See you Xoon,

Gary

We're all waiting with bated or is it baited, breath.

Good to know the Xone is in good hands.

Great idea to start a separate forum for the Xone! It may make it easier to follow new developments and related talk. Good luck!

What a fantastic idea to have a forum for the Xone! I'm looking forward to what you have in store for us Gare!

What I asked The Management to do, and they were happy to oblige, is to open an area here, where we can discuss the monthly tutorials. Q & A, suggestions for the future, just tying the Xone into tg, you know?

And you'll see some reciprocity when the January Edition of the Xone goes up. We will have live feeds from tg, top topics, that sort of thing.

The Internet is supposed to be one big HTML document scattered over a bunch of servers worldwide, at least that was the thought once it outgrew DARPA.

So let's make it so!

Fingers crossed for the 12th or lucky Friday the 13th to go live,

Gary

Hi Gare,

Knowing what I know of you, the wait will certainly be worth it. Glad to see it coming to a website near us soon.

Thanks Gare. Good idea putting it on Wordpress. Has there been any tuts on using xara with wordpress? Could be a useful one. Seems more and more people want to use that platform.
