However, as I was coding the new website I realised that Cittagàzze needed to recoded as well, Svalbard had to be rebuilt from scratch to make the website into a coherent whole. This meant that it was more than two weeks before we arrived at the point where we are now.
Hopefully all of you will enjoy the new and improved website; as always, if there are any comments or suggestion you can always contact us. I've listed some of the changes below.
- Your HisDarkMaterials.org account grants you access to Cittagàzze, Svalbard, and all other HisDarkMaterials.org sections.
- You can now easily comment on news items!
- You only need to login once to have access to all HisDarkMaterials.org sections.
- HisDarkMaterials.org's layout has been thoroughly redesigned by L!NK, it's fast and standards compliant!
- Cittagàzze, Svalbard, and Photograms have been recoded as well!
- More changes coming in the coming days!

Wow! I like this! The site is finally changing, huh? I love it! I guess we'll have a new poll and a shout block and a quote block… won't we? Thanks for the changes, guys!

#6 Sadly...
There won't be a shout block, as with the coming of Svalbard it has no real function anymore.

Oh well, you're right, it's useless. But it looked pretty… I dunno why. Anyways, when I'm on Ci'gazze, there's a button that says Information, and when I click it I go to an Error page- the same with Encyclopedia. And the Srafopedia button has me go to the HDM.org main page… but Srafopedia isn't technically "ready" anways. Of course, I'm sure you guys all know this already.

I rather love the avatars, and it even keeps track of how many comments you have made- unexpected. But still very nice.

This site is a spinoff from an EZ Boards forum, the community is far older. :)

It's awesome. I think we should put up a new poll, however. We needed a new one anyway, and polls are cool!
