Shiny and new

As you may have noticed, and we hope you did, otherwise we did a lot of work for nothing, we have upgraded and redesigned the site. Aside from the makeover that our custom theme got, we have added a lot both under the hood and content-wise. Let's get down to it and give you a better idea of what is new for you:

Light — A brand new Rapidweaver theme that is sure to impress. It is a crisp, clean and professional. A true multi-purpose theme. It is great for blogs, family sites, portfolios or even a small business site. Have a look at what this new theme offers.

Office & Acid Green — Two new, exciting stock icon packages. One is smooth and professional, while the other is trendy and bright.

Videos — We have added a new instructional video section that helps walk you through the basics of using our themes. If you think of videos you'd like to see added to the section, please, drop us an e-mail.

Improved blog — Yep. You're using this one right now. We've upgraded the blog to use the new Rapidblog plug-in (read the post below) to allow us to update it much more frequently and with much more than just announcements. We have also created a widget for your Dashboard so you can keep up to date on all that is new on the blog.

Desktops — Our new desktops section sports some stunning images for you to use as your Mac's desktop wallpaper.

Resources and Add-ons — We have upgraded both the resources and Add-on areas of the site as well. We've also added a quicklinks section that is great for adding to your browser's bookmarks.

Pressroom — While we thought it would be cool to give you some great web badges to help in promoting elixir on the web, we also felt it would be good to tell you a bit about elixir, as well as offer you a simple EULA, screen shots and much more. Have a look, and get your new elixir badges, too.

More frequent posts

With the launch of the new site, we are going to be blogging a lot more often. Some entries will be announcements, as they have been primarily in the past. We are going to expand our blogging to include everyday topics as well. Things that are going on around the net, postings about Apple, Rapidweaver, design and art, tutorials of all kinds and MUCH more.

We are going to be increasing our post frequency through the use of

new plug-in, . If you have not tried it, or even heard of it, make your way over to the Loghound site and . It will change the way you use Rapidweaver and the way you blog — for the better!

We're also hoping to get you the reader more involved in the blog as well through a variety of ways.

Well, here is to happy blogging for both the elixir crew and yourself.
