• Commenting: you can now comment not just on this blog, but also on the articles themselves. This has been the biggest point of pain for a long time now, ever since the old copy of Movable Type was overwhelmed by spam.
• New design: the site is hopefully looking fresh and new, in keeping with modern design principles. There’s more work to be done on this, but at least the rounded corners have gone!
• Clean code: all the nasty 1996-era spacer images have been killed, and the site is now presented using clean code and CSS.
• Better functionality: there have been a range of incremental improvements to the site, including better navigation to (and between articles), and a number of blog enhancements. More to come, watch this space.
• RSS feed for articles: yes, there is now an RSS feed just for articles, which is something that a few have asked for.

Consider this a work-in-progress release for the site. Now that we finally have the site on a supported and manageable platform, there are a raft of enhancements planned for the coming months. Watch this space!

Oh, and please do provide feedback on the site (you can add comments to this post, or to any of the articles). In particular, I’m sure there are some bugs and teething problems to fix, and we’ll need your help with that.

Onwards and upwards.
