New Site Design

Some of you will have noticed that I haven't been around the site as much these past couple of weeks. Amongst other things, I've been re-writing nearly all of the site to give it a fresh new look. The old design was functional, but was too similar to many of the other "portal" type sites around.

There may be a few glitches over the next few hours as last minute design bugs are ironed out, but overall everything should be ok.

There are also a few new feature built into the new design, more on those later :)

I definitely like the new design! I'm not too sure what to make of the logo, but I'm having even more fun browsing through the site than I did before.
 
Oooohhh!!! This new design are more brighter than before. I feel like I woke up now!! :D Look nice. Well done, Darren.
 
Thank you :D
