I know that I haven’t released a podcast in ages, but I promise I haven’t been ditching the site entirely. In the time I would have been recording these last several weeks, I have instead worked on improving the aging and cluttered site, and my efforts are now online for all to see.
Changes include:
- New logo from aspiring graphic artist, Jimmy Xander.
- Cooler ‘banner’ images that take up less space in the window
- AJAX Searching - Super cool. It’s like Spotlight, try it out now and leave some comments
- New Comment System - AJAX-goodness. Instantly preview your comment before you post, quickly reply to another comment, Gravatar support for custom avatars on comments and improved styling overall
- Other minor tweaks, security fixes, and optimizations
I’m really proud of the work I’ve done, especially the overall feel and style. The banner images turned out pretty cool and I like the intense color and sexiness. The colored ‘candy-bars’ for the search results and comments turned out better than I had hoped as well.
If you find any bugs with the new theme, a quick comment would be appreciated!

The theme isn’t available for public download, I want the site to stay unique, hehe.
However, I can provide links to tutorials and such I adapted to use on the site.

I had landed on a deep link from a google search and my first reaction was literally “what a pleasant web site” It made me feel happy and peaceful, which is not a reaction I normally have from a website.
Thanks!

Nice to hear that you are new to the site and you enjoy it so far. I’m always open to suggestions, hope that you can find what you’re looking for and become part of the community : )

Looks real good Matt, I like the banner a lot more than the three button one. Keep up the good work

Thanks, I went with one image because it seemed like a better design. Easier on the eyes, more space dedicated to that item…just made sense.
