Default DT.com aesthetic changes, enhancements..

Have a number of format and design changes being implemented around the ol' website today, the first of which seems to be visable already above... Notably, the front page will start to utilize 'feeds' and wider use of current news technology with commenting ability. I'll fall short of using the word blog to describe it... There will also be a number of different people contributing to the front page Commentary column, and anyone interested in submitting an "Op-Ed" style piece is welcome to do so.

Also on the way, the long-ignored Photo Section will be revamped, and more specific Dee Tee Stables information is likely to have its' own page. Please feel free to comment on changes or suggest new ideas as I look to keep making DT as fresh and informative as possible. And thanks as always to everyone who contributes to the information flow and frivolous fun around here...

This is the part where you provide feedback, so, so far, Pants and BTW aren't liking the masthead graphic. To be honest, I didn't expect the photo to show up here in the Forum like this, so if people find it distracting, it is easily rectified...

It's a cool shot, but it's not in proportion to the original photo it seems and it pushes down the content quite a bit... it's a bit large.

The webdev guy, Dave, is still tinkering with things as he rolls over some of the new content/pages. That whole page isn't supposed to be there at all. Work in progress...

Being a member of DT stables, I like the picture. Which race is it?

You're either very smart or have a whole lot of time on your hands!
