I finally got a chance to publish a new site design. The CSS and general layout is much cleaner. Much of the CSS is based off of Dan Cederholm's excellent SimpleBits.

There are a couple of new goodies in place which need to be enabled/finished in the coming days. The real goal of this build was to start using CS:Blogs as my own mini-CMS instead of a blog only tool. There will now be a some content at the root of the site in addition to some more work on the articles section (and maybe even some new articles ).

Two other minor changes:

1. Removed file extensions from the permalinks. I had it set up to only do this on new posts, but I forgot to include it. Sorry if anyone's aggregators got a large group of new posts. Nothing ground breaking here, but I had been telling people for a while this was possible, even with the current CS:Blogs/.Text bits.
2. Re-worked the moderation logic I did on weblogs.asp.net.
• Posts made within the last 15 days will not require moderation.
• Posts older than 15 days will require moderation, but will not auto close.

It's still a work in progress, but I am looking forward to experimenting a bit more often.
