For the sixth time this year, the number of approved beer labels within any single month will hit 1,000. The result is that I’m way behind on new labels (not so much the ‘big story’ labels but ones from smaller breweries). Fortunately, the holiday break means more time spent with family to catch up on uploading labels.

I’m still doing a methodical upload with the new site layout which means 1) creating a brewery page if there isn’t one, 2) creating a beer page, 3) creating database terms so that regular blog posts can link to either or both, 4) uploading the image, and 5) cropping the image thumbnail to make it look pretty. 6) Oh, and linking all that metadata. It’s still all very ‘beta’ for now but is all part of the big picture that will become more clear in 2012.

If anyone wants to help with this process in the future (monkeys can do it!) or help around here in general, please let me know at beersage@gmail.com.

I’ll add another 50-100 labels before the weekend is over. Check them out on the Beers page.
