So, normally this is where I'd have a new review or article lined up for you all. But Fate, as we now know, has at least one devilish hand, and that hand reached out across the vast expanse of the Internet in the form of an email from our High Leader who mentioned that she was "thinking of making some changes to the site." I admit I'd been sending some psychic vibes her way for a while, pleading to move even a little bit away from the generic Blogger template we had been using in the past, and either I just got a +1 to my Powers roll, or Hagelrat just... well, let me just cling to the moment and think it was my psychic powers, okay?
Anyway, after dozens of email exchanges, constant tinkering, lost .jpgs and at least one evening sitting in Barnes & Noble with a book on coding in CSS, not to mention copious amounts of caffeine and more than a smidge of alcohol, here we are!
So, is it just a fresh coat of paint to cover the same old Un:Bound you've come to know and (hopefully) love? Well, okay - maybe. But there are some nifty things to check out:
- New Pages! Get better acquainted with the lovely and charming Un:Bound writing staff! Revel in rambunctious ribaldry with the Ravenous Romancers! Check out the YA market with Young & Un:Bound, written by kids for kids! And behold the glory that is our new Contact page! We're on Facebook! We have Forums! We're now "officially" on Twitter! It's a social networking extravaganza!
- New Look! Things are brighter, categorized a little better, and hopefully easier on the eyes. We take it seriously when we get comments like "I love your site, but the white on black kills my eyesight." Here at Un:Bound we don't wish blindness on anyone - we don't want to lose our Follower count!
- New Content! More contests! A more vigorous Book Club! Tigers! Guest writers! Interviews! Did I mention the Tigers?

Nice. This is the best makeover yet and you did it all by yourselves? I would have killed myself before getting the hang of the CSS crap.
Harry, all I did was smile and nod when something I liked happened.
Chris you are my hero. :)It's beautiful.
Looking good, Adele. Great layout :)
Snazzy! I like it.
Harry - most of it came from taking advantage of the new Draft templates in Blogger My time spent with CSS did little, if anything. Maybe a nudge or two here and there
Hagelrat - *blush*
Everyone else - Thanks for the feedback! If you haven't already, drop by and let us know what you think!
Ooh, Chris, you DO have the power! :-)
Dana - you're just saying that because you saw I amended the Ravenous Romance page and called you the "lovely" Dana Fredsti!
BTW - is it wrong that I giggled when I saw my word verification was "pinglyst"?
