Huge updates on JunkDepot

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

We’ve pushed out some great new features tonight on JD. Most obvious and important is the addition of new categories. We created 4 new top-level groups for you to post your items: Home Goods (which was our original set of categories), Electronics which covers all of your audio/video phone related equiptment, computers - because we know you have some extra memory or cabling you’d love to sell off, and finally sporting goods when the wet suit just doesn’t fit anymore.

These extra new categories are going to help you find just the right category for your junk.

Another great feature we’ve setup is for all you bloggers out there. Each item now has a ‘Blog This’ button in the right column. Just click it, and copy the code then paste it in your blog. Since it’s just HTML you can style it with CSS to match your layout. Below is a classic Swiss Army available for anyone needing an extra knife in their back pocket.
