More site changes...

Over the past few days we've been enhancing the site layout and making things look a little nicer.  You'll notice page modules now have rounded corners; some page modules have been reconfigured to fit cleaner on the page - stuff like that.

Another big change is with the blogs - we have finally gotten away from simply displaying the TypePad blogs as a plain design within a frame of the MostMetro site.  Now we have fully utilized TypePad's Advanced Templates so that frames are no longer used, and instead the blog pages you see are actually being served by TypePad - but with our site design.  If any of you are bloggers, I highly recommend TypePad - and just pay for the pro version, it is worth it.

Next, we've taken a next step in tying everything on the site together by adding neighborhood blog feeds on each neighborhood page.  And if venues have their own blogs, their feed will be displayed on their venue page (see Coco's for an example).  If you see a venue on Dayton.MostMetro without a blog feed and you know they have a blog (because maybe you're the owner?) - just let us know and we'll add it.

Finally - Yesterday we had some issues with our site, especially with the Google Maps.  That is, we some issues with IE users.  We have since fixed the problems, but I HIGHLY recommend you use Mozilla Firefox browser as opposed to Internet Explorer.  Firefox renders our Google Maps much faster, and it is simply a better browser.  And no, I'm not an anti-Microsoft person.  In fact, our site is developed entirely on a Microsoft platform.  And I have always used IE over browsers like Netscape and others.  But I've been using Firefox for about a year now and I swear by it.  If you don't have it, download it for free here.
