The Yearly Budget

Ladies, gentlemen and monsters, just a short note that we have just enabled the Yearly Budget.

Now everyone can see how they're keeping to their budgets without the granularity of the monthly view.
All beta users have now access to it as a tab in the budget section.

Also, the Blockmonster told me to tell you 'Raaaaawr'!

The next batch is out! Get them while they're hot!

Just a small note that the next batch of BETA coupons have been sent - just in time for the weekend!

In the meantime, let me give you a sneak peak of what we're working on...

Have you seen the Community Budget? It's a place whereby all the expenses are budgeted, income planned, and bills added. It lets everyone see a month-by-month comparison of what was budgeted vs the actual numbers (those that count). Great! What could the Blockmonster possibly come up with?

Well, he knows more about managing communities than those pesky minions, that's for sure! We've added a teaser 'Yearly Budget' tab at the top right of the Budget screen. This will (eventually) give you a bird's eye view of how you're faring in your never ending quest to keep within budget. It allows you to see all the totals in one screen without complications. Easy-Peasy!

This functionality will be available soon to BETA users in the next version update.

Stay tuned for more! Tata!

And they're out!

The first batch of BETA keys are out! You should be receiving them in your email... right about ... NOW! If you'd like to be part of the next batch, let us know!

In the meantime, let me start by listing some functionality that the beta will allow you to use:
1. Social Home - It's a social feed that residents and admins in a community can use!
2. Community - It's the community builder - quite literally since you'll be building your community units like Lego blocks!
3. Accounts - Check each resident's financial accounts; what goes in and out and more importantly, what is owed!
4. Budgets - We've compressed a lot of love into this. If you've been a block admin for more than a day, you know that yearly budgeting is the key to a successful community! List your expenses, and balance them out with your income!

We'll be expanding the feature set as time goes by, but we're sure there's enough to keep you satisfied for now!

Now it's your turn. Send feedback!

We beta to it! Geddit?

Hi all! We've just set up the Blockmonster.eu development blog.

You can expect posts related to operational and development aspects of Blockmonster over here! Here's the first one!

I know a lot of you have requested a beta key for Blockmonster. The amount of interest has been great so far! Brilliant! Let's make it a viral thing! Share http://www.blockmonster.eu on your favourite social media! We see you do it enough, you'll get free stuff from us, starting with beta codes!

We're aiming at getting the last final stuff done very soon and we'll be launching the first group of beta codes by tomorrow (actually hoping by end of day today!).

Of course, send us your thoughts!
