Great idea, Ian. It's because the local media is dropping the ball that many just wait for forum links. Having a front page updated by someone who cares fills a niche IMO. One thing, throw a link up on your blog too. Habits take a while to form.

Just checked, that's really well laid out and information rich. Before i could wonder where this or that was, it popped right out. Great job.

It'll be a combination. I'll be getting back into updating my own blog, and will resume updating regularly again, but at least now when you hit the front page, all the news from each source is now right there and the latest news is highlighted and easy to find. It was a mess before, but now you can get caught up with the news and what's being talked about in the forum in one step before clicking back through to here. You'll probably notice a few stories listed under the local media feeds which weren't mentioned by anyone here, so I'm hoping everyone will find it more useful going forward.

It was a mess before - so after all the suggestions hopefully this gives everyone what they're looking for

Yeah, what Pat Jew says. It's VERY nicely done, and as said previously, it not only looks good, but it's easy to use.

I too like having a one-stop site for all my Patriots needs.

Well done, and thanks!

Looks great Ian. I have been skipping the home page but these changes are really really useful.

Love the new front page, Ian, but miss the Google search bar. PatsFans is my home page and it is nice to have that link--
