Some new items have been disabled for the moment, but these will be enabled with a couple of days. The banner which is powered by macromedia flash is also in process. You will notice a fun, interactive poll on the home page, which I deployed using the QuickPolls application.
The launching of the new site version is also an anticipation for the rigid screening of Philippine Web Awards under community & portal category on March 2007, which the site's admin opted to join.
If you have further comments and suggestions just let me know. I hope that you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed the process of creating it. Thank you!
