SP Happenings #35

Work on the new site design is coming along nicely. I've come up with and tested the last finishing touches to improve site navigation (a simple text navigation bar to tell you where you currently are for every page) and some minor supporter template changes. The more that I looked at the new design, the more I realized that I have to write quite a lot of new content to go along with it (for the paid supporter system, and to fix/upgrade several things which could have been done better in the existing design), so I decided to write/compile all of this information before I jump into the conversion of the existing site content. This will enable me to still do one or more site updates in between, before I have to clamp down on any existing content changes and start with a wide-scale conversion.

I'd really love to show you all a few screenshots of how this new stuff looks like, but considering what a lengthy process this SP transition has been (and still is), I really don't want someone stealing any ideas from it at this point. At least when it's up officially, everyone can point the finger and yell "copycat!". So the new design will most likely be kept under wraps for the majority of you till right before it's ready to go up. However, a few select people have seen it already, and tested it, so I got a helpful dose of feedback, just in case you were worried. ;)
