Many folks have written in noticing some new features released on the site in the past three weeks. As all websites are perpetual works in progress, here’s a post to do some horn tooting and round up all the new additions in one easy place.

1. Feedburner Integration

The generic WordPress RSS feed we were using is now being burned to provide more features and a more consistent look across all RSS readers. Folks tuning in over RSS can now get comments and posts updated with social networking and (d)N0t community functionality.

2. MyFacebook Widgetz

If you want to post a widget receiving the latest from (d)N0t in the social network of your choice, we are pleased to offer Flash and AJAX widgets for your consumption:

Flash!

Not Flash!

3. Social Networking (that works)

We shitcanned ShareThis for the lighter, much less obtrusive social networking below. Sharing on your favorite aggregator/news/social site is much easier and a lot better looking. No call to action, no ham-fisted AJAX. If its something you’re into, you’ll recognize the icons.

4. Features (that work)

The features section on the sidebar was not a fantastic experience before. We now have real series management with each post clearly identified with the other posts in the multi-part feature and a navigational system that is not batshit retarded. I highly recommend trying out last year’s Coachella coverage or the full report on the source code leak for Eve Online’s client.

5. Videos Get A Home

All our video content on YouTube now has a home on the sidebar to your right. Videos embedded on the site are now themed so as not to cause a grimace and thumbnails now appear in our RSS feed.

6. There is NO feature 6.

7. New Writer

Hala V. Furst joins the fight against the future this week and will be covering Western Europe for (d)N0t this summer. Bringing a voice that is equal parts soaring and sarcastic, Furst’s gonzo journey across the Atlantic will tear through the unsuspecting nations of Ireland, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and many others in a frenetic and frantic search for truth. Scope her bio on the staff page and pull up a balcony seat to the end of the world as we know it.

More details on many other smaller updates are available on a newly revamped FAQ.

Fight the future.

    I am now an admirer of Hala and her postings. If I were her age, I would definately want to be POLO! Is it possible to drop her a direct email? Or an indirect e?
