Redesign
Pardon any bugs in the system that you might encounter. I just couldn’t stand the old design any longer, and 95% of things should be working here. That’s close enough for me on a personal site.
You’ll note the new text and gallery databases—these are actually from Horses in the Arts. I never update that site because it’s on a different control panel, so I’m hoping I will develop this more actively now.
If you’re interested, this is the same design that I am working on for Horse Bloggers. It’s not fully implemented over there yet, but I’m hoping to be able to release the new version sometime in the next month. I can tell you some of the new features I have for it: screenshots will be handled automatically by Snap.com, users can now create profiles with personal photos and signatures, and there is a community news feature that anyone can post to. Plus, the front page has a list of recently-updated blogs, so you can see at a glance who is actively posting entries to their blogs.
Believe me, Horse Bloggers 3.0 is a huge, huge step forward for the site. Plus, there are less ads on it. They don’t make any money anyway, so they might as well not make money unobtrusively.
And don’t forget about the blog carnival! It’s coming up quickly! Submit your entries here! There’s no official theme, so submit any entries you like—up to two per blog. I’ve already received some great entries—where are yours?!

I just realized I didn’t recreate the Atom and RSS feeds. Sorry.
I’ll get them back up (and add text and gallery versions) later this week. The URL is going to be different on them, so you’ll have to rebookmark. I try to avoid that kind of thing, but such is life.
