A few changes to the website are pending
#1
Just a heads-up for site visitors.

I am trying to make a few changes to the website, so things may get bumpy for the next day or two.

My apologies for any inconvenience caused by these pending changes!

Quick feedback:

- I really like the idea of a blog for you, to serve as a bully pulpit.

- The part of the old home page I use most is the "recent threads" section on the right. Any way to incorporate that into your blog home page?

- Provide an easy icon to link straight to the forum, and another for the magazine, and perhaps one for the wiki or the "what is PBM?" page.

Glad that you like it, although that's not why I added it. My reasons had more to do with providing a better site visit experience for mobile Internet users accessing the site via their smartphones, search engine optimization, continued consolidation of link structures, and a better mechanism to facilitate broader outreach via the blogosphere.

Copy and paste the link to it, since I am not certain what, exactly, that you are referring to. Even an electronic search for the term "recent" doesn't clue me in.

Hmmm.....You want an image link, instead of text links?

Actually, it's called "Latest Threads". It shows the 5 or 6 most recent posts to the forum.

Exactly. Icons to draw the eye to the most important links, and text for everything else.

I still don't know which link on the forum software, itself, that you are referring to. There's one for new posts, and one for today's posts, but those links were added to the Blog page, already.

Plus, since you posted in this thread, I added an RSS feed on the blog page, which lists the five most recent messages posted in the forum.

If you will copy and paste the actual link that you are referring to, I will look at the URL, and figure out what you are referring to. Either that, or do a screen capture, and post the image to show me.
