]]> As you may (or may not) have noticed, we’ve got a brand new look and feel here.  Our old website left much to be desired, and in particular, it had absolutely NO spam protection whatsoever.  (as is evident by the recent flood of spam postings)  After much thought (interspersed with some head-scratching and nail-biting, as well as more than a little bit of hair-tearing-out and head-banging-against-wall) I’ve decided to just tear everything down and start from scratch.

To that end, we have a really nifty new site based on the uber-popular WordPress blogging engine.  I’ve done a lot of research and found that WordPress offers the most flexibility with the least amount of effort (very important for a lazy otaku such as myself), and has some pretty darn fine looking themes if I do say so myself.  (Right now we’re still using the default “Kubrick” theme, but I’ll be playing around with it in the days and weeks to come, making it look even cooler.)  WordPress’s “Akismet” plugin offers excellent spam protection (but at a cost – you have to register for a free account if you want to post a comment.  Sorry folks, them’s the rules.)  Also the PodPress plugin makes adding and managing podcasts a breeze.  (Plus it provides nifty Flash-based player applet so that you can play back podcasts right on the web page.)

Not everything is back in place yet.  The nifty “subscribe via iTunes” link, for one, isn’t there.  (However, this podcast is still listed in the iTunes directory.)  Also I’m still in the process of re-adding the Google AdSense stuff, the forums, etc.  Those will slowly come online within the next few days.  But, at least, the basics are up and running.

Oh yes – and a new podcast is coming, just as soon as I can find the time to edit it.  (It’s all recorded, just need to cut out my more embarrassing flubs.  ;-) )
