FaceBook Connect & Template Changes

Just letting you know about some changes that I’m sure you’ve noticed already.  The most visible change first is that I’ve condensed everything beyond the 5 newest stories down to just thumbnails & excerpts.  This improves page load time, and the full test is still there for you to read.  Doing this also allowed me to return the TweetMeme buttons and a few other things.

The other new features I’m proud to announce is an improved FaceBook Connect Integration.  Now when you leave a comment you can use the real FaceBook Connect authentication, and you’ll have the option of displaying your comments on your FaceBook wall.  This way your friends can see your thoughts, and chime in with their thoughts.  Think of it as a combined Comment & Share function.

Of course, I’m anxious to hear what you all think about this, so use this as an opportunity to test out the new comment features!
