Weekly Roundup 10/24 - 10/30

Aaron Brethorst, November 01, 2011

Hi folks, welcome to another weekly roundup. We have some snazzy controls for your perusal this week, but, far more importantly, you may have noticed that Facebook comments are gone, dead, finished, shuffled off this mortal coil. Sorry it took literally months to make that happen :)

As long promised, Facebook comments have been replaced by Disqus comments on every page of the site. I’ve even ported over all of the Facebook comments into the new system, so we don’t lose any of the conversations that have taken place. Exciting, huh?

All the best,
Aaron
