I’ve been wanting to rewrite the URL registration pages for a while as well as putting the most used links and tools on the front page. I tried to just change the css for the daily visit list but like most things geeky I do, it turned into a mammoth project. I do my best work when I’m hacking someone elses to do what I want and I’ve done it again this time, just the cosmetics of the theme like adding more panels and adding some daughter template files.

I’ve gone through 2 monitors, 2 hard drives and 3 OS’s (and purchased a surge protector power adapter) Will be coming soon I get a day free this week and I’m hoping to get it all for coding so I can put in the updates I want to do to get a handle on the amount of spam blogs being created and also some minor cosmetic changes to the daily visit list, it seems people would rather see some new commentluv sites on there...
