Okay, I admit it. Today’s update is almost entirely cosmetic. Yes, the front page will now display personalized content if you’re logged in, which is nice. But mostly this update was about making that page more enticing for casual surfers who haven’t already discovered the depth of features under the hood.

We’re writers, yes, and words are our milieu . . . but the pretty pictures can still help to deliver a message. So now, we have some.

The meatier updates—the API, widget updates, RSS feeds, offline capability, and (of course) some others I won’t talk about until they’re done—are still in the pipeline. Stay tuned.
