Soon: New Site Version

As reported in the previous news entry, there is ongoing work in bringing online a new version of the site. It is currently in test phase (thus not available to the public) at the moment. Unsurprisingly, when you get to see it it won't look to much different from the current design at a quick glance. However, deep within you will find quite a few design and feature improvements as well as bunch of new features, although the main recoding has been done under the bonnet on parts you will never see but will always need

As a bi-product of this development (an XML API-style interface), some new possibilities are on the horizon for syndicating content to other sites. Interesting. But not actually concrete yet.

Well, that'll be all for now, just thought I'd let you folks know that things are never at a standstill here, at least not for me I expect to have the new version of the site in production before the new year, hopefully... could be sooner depending on how well testing goes.

P.S A donation towards the hosting costs wouldn't go amiss. The site really does need those!
