*News Flash* New Features added to blog

My blog has received an overhaul in the last few days and with that many new features are now active. Take the new Meebo Bar that sticks to the screen even when you scroll. This bar is the one stop answer to finding me around the web. My Twitter feed, Facebook fan page & YouTube account are now brilliantly integrated into one simple place that is convenient and easy to use.

Another thing I have implemented is Tynt. Tynt is a service that deals with the copy & paste function. I have no problem with people copying the information that I post but I would like more traffic, that's were Tynt comes in.

I have also added Disqus to my blog. Disqus is a better commenting system that is much easier to use and much more social. Twitter accounts can be linked in so that followers can see what you are up to and hopefully pay my blog a visit.

I hope these changes are a few of many that will come to improve the experience of my blog. Enjoy.
