Hi All,

We've updated the site with a few bug fixes as well as some improvements. We plan to release a series of updates in the next few weeks enhancing usability and getting the site ready for new visitors.

Here are the improvements in this release:

-Shorter simpler URLs for posts: Now, rather than http://www.publ  icpress.org/ent  ity?action=show  Entity&id=793 the new URL is http://www.publ  icpress.org/793 . Hopefully this makes it easier to link to and refer to posts on Public Press.

-Email This Post: Now you can send an email to a friend with a link to a Public Press Post. Click the "Email this Post" link right above the comments on a post.

-Add This: We also now have an 'Add this' button next to the Email This Post link so that you can easily add Public Press posts to del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, MySpace and more.

On another note, please welcome new member spr , who is writing a new column about the 2008 Portland Election Cycle . Go check it out and say your piece!

Thanks everyone, and let us know if you have any problems.
