coolness!

Jason, I looked at the cooming soon update. Looks pretty nifty! How abouts is the shop feature gonna work? Kinda like a giant buy me now page? Anyways, it looks pretty cool. How finished in this project are you?

That page is about 2 days old when I posted it. The redesign is further along now, but I've been so tied up during the week that I haven't had time to really apply those changes to the rest of the site. It's still going to be awhile since I'm trying to clean up the underlying code while making the site look a little more 2003 instead of 1998.

Expect an all-new looking site by the end of next weekend.

The "shop" button probably won't be active on rollout. That's a pretty large button on it's own and the plans haven't been finalized for how it's going to work. The downside is that no more sales will be allowed on member sites. The upside is that the sales service will initially be free and will provide guaranteed wider exposure for whatever you want to sell.

After the site gets a redesign, the "search" feature will get the next round of code upgrades. Then comes the hard part -- reworking the actual site creation part. 90% of the preparation for this is complete. So, basically, expect me to vanish for a few weeks at a time... and reappear with new toys. =/

Oh, and if anyone out there is waiting on a feature image to be posted, the reason why there's been a 2 week backlog is because I had to finalize the new feature size. The old ones were 330x300, the new ones are 300x280. These will be up soon. Thanks for being patient.
