…the new design has launched and now this blog finally has some personality! I was a little worried when I sent off the design to a coder as I’m always concerned that I rushed it in some way. However, I believe the design looks great in coded form, and will at least be able to get this site through until the launch of WAR.

I’d love to hear you thoughts though! Just leave a comment or head over the contact page.

This is just a quick announcement to say that all blog comments are now handled via the forums. To comment you’ll need to be a member, and each comment will count as a regular post would.

I’ve closed down the "Site News & Suggestions" forum, and ALL news will be posted under the "News & Announcements from the blog…" section. I figured this would be a better way to handle comments instead of segregating the community on the blog and forum.

Okay, the plan was to integrate the comments with the blog, but it caused quite annoying issues. I’ve put it back to the way it was, and the current setup will just have to do for now. It’s annoying having the blog and forum community separate but I’ll work on a solution when I’m more awake (9pm where I live).

This whole blog idea went from an idea to execution in under 72 hours, so forgive me for it being rough around the edges. Here are a few points:

• A unique & original design will be here VERY shortly, it’s being coded
• Our forums are still an integral part of this site - this blog will just make it easier to reach people
• I’ve been working hard with keeping the blog updated with fresh WAR news, and will continue to do so. I currently have 25 RSS feeds in Google Reader all delivering some form of WAR content as soon as it happens.

And that’s all from this semi-launch of the blog. I still have some work to do, and will try to cause minimum issues whilst doing so.
