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!
