Community Server 2007 - Easiest Upgrade Ever!
Welcome to the new-look Mad Props! As you can see, I have given the whole site a bit of a makeover, care of the new theme capabilities of Community Server 2007.
I have to say that the upgrade to CS 2007 was the simplest yet. A database upgrade script that actually worked! Who'da thunk it? The new theme system (code name Chameleon) is awesome, too. Good work, guys!
You might have noticed that my navigation bar now has a single "Blog" link instead of a "Blogs" link. That'll take you directly to Mabsterama, because I'm in the process of stripping back madprops.org to be a personal site rather than a shared one. If you still read some of the other blogs on this site, never fear - their original URLs still work.
What do you think of the site/blog theme? I really like it. It's simpler and more visually-appealing than the old one.
Anyway ... it's a new world! Enjoy!

The new look is pretty typical software developer style, especially the head shot in the header, heheh.
Not bad, keep nerding it up!

Yeah, T, I'm keeping it developer-style. They say that it's good to have a photo of yourself on your blog so that you're recognizable at events etc. That's why you always see THRONGS of people massing around me at Code Camp Oz! :)

Dude, psst, I think Dave's hitting on you...
And the throngs of people? One person talked to you that you didn't know, and thats cos he knew me :) Oh and that guy that I was talking to that I knew from SQL Code Camp!
(Oh and the dev that you decided to voice your opinion to in the food line).
By the by, your comments are no longer emailing to me... damn it.

Andrew, The Mabster knows how I feel about him. I don't try to hide my feelings anymore. But I must say from your comments that it sounds like The Mab is giving you the brush! Ouch! :-)
