Well, I love it when a plan comes together AYBG!

Remember, it doesn't all have to be done in one fell swoop - an incremental approach can often work best.

What I particularly like about your approach is you obviously recognise the benefit of involving the members in this issue rather than just imposing your own ideas.

I'm sure that you will have lots of volunteers to help - if there's anything you think I can do to help please just ask! - I'd be happy to try and give something back to the community for all the free cinema visits I've had as a direct result of this site. And.....

I'm sure there are lots of others here who would like to see Andrews be given a slot to run a regular Joke thread, only accessible from the front page. Now that should generate some traffic!! :mrgreen:

Couldn't do it last night, but I hope to do it tonight around 2am - so if you can't access the site around then, that's why.

Update completed. Man, oh, man, I've only just looked now at what the new version of the integration can do, and one of the features is damn awesome. Empire.com-level awesome. Watch this space.

Thanks, I had a little tinker with a new theme while I was updating. I just thought I'd try out this one because it looks a lot better than the last and I can change the image to something more relevant.
But there are about a gajillion wordpress themes so don't necessarily regard this as the new front-site's look.

Hey AYBG, well done, it looks good. I wondered how to get onto that page, ie:'WordPress Blog', I'd occassionally stumbled on it when i searched through google, but now I know what that little button is.

it looks good - thanks for all your hard work
