One simple coment, Do somthing to set the Google adds apart from the site as they are now they seem to disrupt the flow of the news pages.

As long as we’re voting on CMS, I vote blosxom.

I am an FG editor and I am used to MT and think it is easier to use and more powerful. Please don’t switch.

CMS fight!

Here, here Mason. I’m all for a little color as well. And more whitespace.

As one of the writers here at Forever Geek, I suggest moving from MT to WordPress. I know for one that I am more likely to actually write articles on a blogging system that I’m 1) used to and 2) is easier to use and 3) more powerful.

One of the reasons why I haven’t written much at Forever Geek is that I dread using MT.

I think waylman has a good point. Other than that, I don’t what you should change.

I like it the way it is. Don’t change much other than what’s needed to make the new features work, in my opinion at least.

On a subjective and purely cosmetic level, I’d like to see a splash colour to brighten the place up.

that is very easy to do with wordpress, and i know its possible with mt as well. however wordpress is better.

Well, I was sick and didn’t turn on a computer for the last 4 days and I think I missed a few entries. By my count, the home page only shows the last 11 and the feeds, the last 15. I find no easy way to check for any other entries made between the last one listed in the feed, and the last one I saw five days ago.

I know, in the past entries were more sparse and this was not so much of a problem. However, as you keep adding people who add more posts (which = more variety, a good thing) I have actually encountered this problem once or twice in the last month or so when checking back once a day.

I’m not insisting on a chronological archive listing like many blogs use (although that would certainly work), but a simple ‘next’ link at the bottom of the home page that would show the previous x number of entries would be sufficient.

That’s really the only thing I see that needs improvement. Otherwise, excellent site and excellent content. Keep it up and many thanks.

Can you make it so that the smooth scrolling icon (the thing that appears when you middle click and scroll down) works correctly in firefox 1.0

It works fine, but the icon is always about an inch to the left of the place where you middle click.

Cheers, keep up the good work
