The usual rapid-fire style…
We’re sporting some new tabs that are faster and require fewer requests (plus they’re smaller file size).
We’ve torn out the old crop tool for a totally different one.
For the few members that noticed it existed, we squashed the pesky little bug where your crop was totally inaccurate.
We switched to Rackspace from The [...]

We found out that GIFs weren’t working for a lot of people, and PNGs for a lot of others. We hacked together a fix, so now things should be working better with background images of all types.
Nothing has changed here, but we realized we were having some issues, so we’re going to disclose them here.
PNG [...]

In our usual fashion…
Color Picker Updates
Moved the color picker buttons up to the text lines so it’s more intuitive and easier on the scrolling.
Changed the content of those ‘buttons’ to show the current hex code of the color, making it easier to get several to match.
Put a background behind the color picker so that dragging [...]

I just added 9 new fonts to the banner maker, including long-time designer favorites like Meta, Georgia, and LTUnivers (the movie poster credit font), 2 grunge fonts, and a few other ’special’ fonts. Check ‘em out!
Soon we’ll be adding VIP-only fonts, but all of the fonts that I just added work for everybody!

We’ve got a new Font Picker up and running on the site. It works the same basic way, so nothing too drastically different, but we’ve got new ‘Sample’ swatches and a better layout to make picking a font less ugly, and new code to speed things up (and improve reliability). One of the coolest parts [...]

Just a quick post here to note the changes:
Changed the header/logo and navigation at the top of the page to something much prettier.
Updated the text of some of the navigation items so that they’re more clear.
Changed the default font from Tahoma to Helvetica Neue.
Changed the look of headings on the page to be slimmer and [...]

I just finished updating the color picker on the site to patch up some bugs that have been hanging around for a while now.
You can now expect reliable and accurate colors when typing in a hex-decimal color number.
Dragging the vertical hue slider will no longer desaturate colors like it used to.
Safari users should no longer [...]

Going to do this quick-like…
My hand is mostly healed, and I’m back to answering emails and working on the site when I can.
I’ve got tons of updates planned for the next couple of months.
In lieu of displaying ads, I’ve opted to display a prominent offer for VIP memberships on the banner maker page. This should [...]

PROFILE 2.0 CODE IS NOW AVAILABLE!
Only Masthead banners (not header banners) are available as 2.0 code because of some changes in the way Myspace presents content, but those are the ones that are most important to most people anyways.
Enjoy!

After having several people request this ability, it’s finally done! You can now go to your account and click ‘Create a Rotating Banner’ if you’re a VIP and create a rotating banner from any of the banner that you’ve saved to your account!
