Well, it’s finally here! Reinspire version 2.0 has officially been launched. If you’re viewing this content in your RSS reader, be sure to check out the new site, a lot has changed.
In the near future I’ll be posting a few entries on the redesign process as well as obstacles and challenges I came up against along the way.
At time of launch there are still a few things I’m working on. Some of those include cleaning up the CSS and adding some more minor tweaks for IE. Most of the issues with IE have been worked out already, but there may be some left overs still waiting to be found.
A few of the new features that you may or may not have noticed right away include:
- Related Entries for all blog entries. This is something I had wanted to add for a long time and I’m glad to have it finished. It’s always nice to cross things off the to-do list.
- Hot Topics. In the side bar you’ll notice a section called “Hot Topics” which shows the top 3 entries that have been commented on.
- Comment Previews, Gravatars & More Tags! My comment form finally has a live preview as you type. You’re now allowed to use <blockquote>, <code> and <del> tags as well as the previously available tags (<strong>, <em>, <a href>). I’ve added support for Gravatars to my comments. If you don’t have a Gravatar, go get one!
- The all new Noteworthy section. I’ve added a new section to the site called “Noteworthy” which contains some of the more popular/useful entries that I’ve written.
- Flickr Photos on the Home Page. At the bottom of the sidebar on the home page you’ll see my latest 9 Flickr Photos.
- Smarter Punctuation and much much more!

More to come…
