All should be up and running now and hopefully nobody experienced any problems. I hope you like the new format, it is free for us, but under licence from the generous people at Gisele Jaquenod. I wanted to move away from the basic blogger format that had been in use and provide a skin that people would remember and associate with and as we grow our small community I wanted a slightly more professional and unique feel to our site.
To accommodate this new format, there are a few less distractions in the sidebar, but the best and most used links remain. We have added buttons to aid subscription via a rss reader, and a quick link to our Twitter Page. There is also a function in the sidebar to subscribe to an automated daily email, this service is provided via feedburner who will provide the T&C's, but if you do subscribe we at Football Banter will not ever pass on your email address for any reason. For those who currently receive an email, I will be transitioning you to this service, so you will stop getting an email after every post, but the new daily email. You will receive an email automatically to your inbox with a link, if you wish to subscribe please click on the confirmation link, if not, delete the email and your Football Banter emails will cease once the old method is switched off in a few days time.
The font is slightly smaller than before (or seems to be) I hope this causes no issues for anyone. For now, this is not something I can change across the whole blog, though if people comment that it is an issue I will look into it further, and/or we can set individual posts to post in a larger font. Gone too unfortunately are the reaction buttons which allowed a quick 1 button response for those not feeling the inclination to leave a comment. This is still listed in our HTML set up, so I actually hope we can bring this back soon. FYI Tarquin, we also lost the 'Nav Bar' at the top of the page which allowed quick access to the editing pages, but I hope to be able to get that added back in; but I need to go and look into how that can be done.
I hope that overall the changes are to peoples liking, feedback, advice and/or abuse should be sent to footballbanter@gmail.com or left in the comments field.
