New look and New Options...

Good news folks, I've finally completed the new look of the blog. It should be more functional as well. Please inform me of any bugs or flaws. I can't guarantee I will fix them right away but will try... The best new feature and one many have asked for is: the ability to e-mail subscribe to ONLY our news updates and not receive notification of theology, Apple, links, and the other sundry things I post. By default you will receive them. On the top bar is "E-mail Options". Please follow the registration procedure. When you have completed it, the previous link in the top right corner of the web site labelled "Register" will change to "Site Admin." This means you are logged in. Click this "site admin". Then you will be at a profile page where you can exclude certain categories from e-mail updates. The direct link to both register and modify this now is: http://dizzysound.net/blog/wp-admin/profile.php?page=subscribe2/subscribe2.php Questions, class?

Christopher (or would Chris be preferred/acceptable?):

What plugins are you using in your WP setup? I'm particularly interested in any that are being used to augment your k2 install (like the 'Notify' checkbox for comment followups...).

Your update has inspired me to finally get off my butt & start to make some much-needed updates to Territorial Bloggings! ;-)

Thanks!
