TorrentFreak gets a makeover. The site can be a little buggy the next 24 hours but I’m working on it. I will tell more about the new stuff, and credit the people who contributed when it’s done.

update:

For those who are interested. TorrentFreak is using wordpress. The current theme is a modification of the modification of the K2 theme by Ben Gray. Nen created the logo’s and did some of the coding as well. We use a bunch of plugins, but I’m too lazy to list them but the “Digg implementer” and “Extended live archives” plugin are two of them.

At the bottom of the frontpage you will see a link to the “not another tech podcast” podcast TorrentFreak supports. And for all music fans.. you can join the TorrentFreak group on last.fm if you like.

There might be a couple of changes in the near future, but nothing too serious…

Previously: CacheLogic and BitTorrent Introduce Cache Discovery Protocol

Next: BitTorrent For Books?

hmmm. I have some shared opinions about the new design.
I think I liked the old site better.. The colors chosen for te buttons above (archive, contact, links) are a bit too flashy (red) and the green doesn’t really fit in with it.
But great work you’re doing anyway.

Sorry, can’t help it, I’m a flashy guy.
The red/green is an experiment :)
It might change a bit

The fixed navigation bar at the top was very nice!

the k2 is nice. i would clean up the logo a little bit. theres some pixelation that makes it less clean than you want.

I like it a lot.

Shiny, almost web 2.0 compliant (not in beta) and plenty of AJAX functionality (let’s hope the server holds up).

Job well done!

hmm.. Logo still looks bit strange :)
Perhaps you can do something with green (logo)
