Month: March 2006

Since we first started offering custom links on start pages over seven months ago we’ve had an issue for users who forgot the “http” in their links. We’ve upgraded our preference system to automatically add the prefix for all custom URLs that begin with “www.” This fix, however, will only affect newly saved preferences. If you’ve been experiencing custom link 404 issues, you should go to the preferences page, scroll to the bottom, and click the “Save Preferences” button. That should take care of everything!

After months of silence, Danielle has released two new creepy movie themes for you: the first is for the new movie V for Vendetta, and the second isn’t even out yet! Silent Hill looks fantastic, but I’m probably going to be too scared to see it. 🙂 We also have an old Silent Hill video game theme which may make it’s way into a new section of the site very soon.

The Lost theme is quickly sneaking it’s way up in our top four. This TV thing was a great idea, and we want to thank everyone for emailing us about it. We sould be uploading more themes for your favorite shows soon!

We’ve been getting a lot of requests for TV themes latley, and our first one is now online – Penn and Teller’s Showtime Show (which we won’t say the name of) is now up. For the time being, we’re going to keep our TV themes mixed with our Movie themes. This might change as time goes on and we add more. For now, that’s where you’ll find them.

Coming up next are themes for Arrested Development, Lost, and the Sopranos. We’re not taking requests for themes just yet, but don’t worry, we’ll get there. Our theme request system is a little backed up, so you may not see your request on the page yet. Don’t worry though, we got it and we’re working on it.

Other new themes today include Maximo Park and UltraViolet. Not sure if UltraViolet is any good yet, but we’re all big comic book fans so we’re pretty sure we’ll like it.

Stay tuned!
