Hey all, after months of sound, fury, and empty promises, the Ometer has finally relaunched with a new look and code that isn't straight out of 1992. There are a lot of behind the scenes tweaks you probably won't notice, but here are a few of the things we've done:
- Faster loading times: The site ought to load about 50% faster. Will you notice a difference? You tell us.
- No more frames: In other words, if you want to bookmark a review (and who doesn't?), you can. Lucky you.
- Amazon affiliate links: If you want to support the Ometer but you don't want to send a check, order your CDs through the newfangled links at the top of our reviews. We'd appreciate it, and it will make you cool.
- Easier-to-read reviews: No more squinting while letting the Ometer make your musical choices for you.
- The Ometer picked up a new reviewer! I think that is worthy of an exclamation point. Check out Mr. Robillard's reviews.
All of the old features haven't been moved over yet, but we're in the process. Stick with us, and please, report any bugs you find.
So, thanks for your support, everyone, and let's make 2007 the best year the Ometer has had so far.
Cheers!
