Frankly we're amazed that the 8Days website still even exists so long after the magazine was sold and became SH -- especially since the new SH website actually started including magazine content. But not only is the old 8Days website live, it is updated -- and now they are adding new features. Seven members of the SH staff now have personal blogs ... as if they didn't already have enough on their respective plates, what with those darn weekly deadlines and all. The blogs appear to have launched just this week (and thus are a little light on content). Anyway, here they are:
- Jarrett Wrisley (Food): "FEED BAG: Shanghai chewed up and spit out"
- Sophie Lloyd (Fashion): "Dress Code"
- Stella Shu (Clubbing): "Confessions of a Dance Queen"
- Nancy (Culture): "Shhh ... A culturephile's look into the silent world of books and theater"
- Christine Huang (Tech): "Neateater: The latest in culture and technology in tasty, bite-sized pieces"
- Renee Chen (Art): "For Art's Sake"
- Glori Ye (Office): "Glori's World: Adventures in office life"
Remember, these blogs are very new -- some have yet to delete the "Hello world! Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!" post. But it is good to see local mags starting to take the web semi-seriously, or at least acknowledging its existence. Rumor has it City Weekend will soon unveil a brand new website, as well. Stay tuned.
