A few minutes ago, Hoot launched its new website, designed by the talented (and very patient) David Hu (SEAS ‘13).

Take a look around the new website, and tell us what you think! You can still reach the blog at http://blog.hootmag.org. Enjoy your summer, and check back often!

They are marvelously glossy, durable, and small enough to hide behind our textbooks in class. Thank you so much to CUarts, the Cooperberg family, and the Duan family for funding our first issue! Interested in advertising with us in the future? Email us at advertise@hootmag.org!

Even though we’re on summer vacation, we’ve begun working on our next issue. If you’re interested in joining Hoot, send us an email at info@hootmag.org. We have a lot of positions open, and we’re willing to train! Also, keep an eye out for our new website!

Study hard! But don’t forget to get some beauty sleep.

Now we’re doing it.

We’ve revamped our blog in anticipation of our new website and first issue, and we’re determined to bring you better and more content related to fashion at Columbia University. We, members of the Columbia community, whether we’re students, faculty, or alumni, are more immersed in the sartorial world than we may care to admit — and we at Hoot hope to prove that fashion is intellectual, creative, and worthy of deep discussion and exploration.

Here are some major changes that we have made to the blog:

  • We’ve moved servers! We are no longer residing on Blogger’s site and have moved to our own dedicated server. Due to this and in anticipation of our full site that will be launching soon, our URL has changed to http://blog.hootmag.org. Update your bookmarks and feeds!
  • Like Bwog and Spectrum, Hoot will have seven daily editors — one for each day of the week. We are deploying our team’s most dedicated bloggers and writers to bring you the best daily content that we can offer.
  • Our content will be more diverse and relevant to the Columbia community, with more “newsy” posts, coverage of events around Columbia and New York City, Hoot behind-the-scenes coverage, and everything and anything that the stylish Columbian would be interested in.
  • We’ve replaced our old blogging platform with WordPress, making our blog more robust, reliable, and easily readable.

Because of these changes, we feel like it’s best to start off with a clean slate. Our content is going to be of a slightly different style and tone than that found on our previous blog, so we’ve decided not to import our past posts. However, if you wish to view the archive, you can still find them at http://hootmag.blogspot.com/.

So, tell us what you’re interested in and what you think! Our goal is to bring the fashion-driven community at Columbia together, and we hope you stay with us on this journey–whether you’re a Balmain diva or a vintage vixen.

Bisous,

Hoot Staff
