Yahoo! Shine Visit the site →

Launched in March 2008, Shine is a blogging platform designed for working women, containing channels such as Fashion + Beauty, Healthy Living and Food. Blog posts from both full-time editors and public users are regularly promoted and featured on the site. Yahoo! Astrology became a part of Shine in June 2008, continuing a close partnership with Astrology.com as the data provider.

It was an interesting learning experience for both design and engineering. Accepting (almost) free-form HTML from the public, displaying very diverse content within visual specifications, all while keeping user input sanitized and sandboxed, was an exciting challenge for the team.

Shine is one of the Honorees for the 13th Annual Webby Awards in the “Lifestyle” category.
