Gonna be a short update today, I’m working on something that I wanted to have ready to go this morning, but obviously it isn’t. A note to the people who got my Friday email: the logo has been changed, but I’m still trying to find a solution for the background. The issue is that I have to design the site for the highest % of user’s resolutions, and 1024×768 or lower is a small % of users, I’m working on some transparency options though, so maybe that’ll help.

If you have any other suggestions feel free to pass ‘em along.
