Yeah, I didn't want it to be a radical change, like using FB to signup or anything... just making it easier to spread the word and encourage people coming to check stuff out on the site.
Congrats to all the front-pagers of the new Blender! I love reading all the submissions. I feel a bit sad that I didn't contribute this past month. I feel like the parade went by and I'm left behind, sweeping the street...
Kirk, thank you for the pick! Must explore the idea more - wrote the last few pieces after stopping writing for a while.
Loving the front page and the rise in submissions last month.
I think the FB option you've included is great, not too big a change!
