Thanks for sticking around for the past month, folks! I’ve appreciated hearing from you, getting suggestions, and meeting some of you in person at our events.
As a result of your (many) comments, we’ve made some notable fixes and improvements to the site over the last month:

- The design of section pages now updated with improved look and organization, including making blogs more prominent, adding number of comments, making photos bigger.
- To make it easier to find what you’re looking for, we’ve added a compact calendar and directory search to the upper-right corner of the homepage. Additionally, many other features have been streamlined and relocated, so please explore the site to see it all.
- You can now always view the five newest articles that have been published right on the homepage.
- Finally, and perhaps most usefully, the Movie Showtimes module has been given a huge upgrade, and now features summaries, photos, and the latest showtimes for all first-run theatrical films. Additionally, any hyperlinked title of a film will link you directly to Buzz’s review of it (unfortunately, a gray title means that we do not yet have a review filed for the film… if you want to help with that, we’re always looking for new writers).
That takes care of the major, most glamorous changes to the site. Obviously, we’ve also been making behind-the-scenes changes to fix problems, as well as make your experience better. Still having problems with anything? Think something should work differently? Email me, and we’ll see what we can do.
