After thorough alpha testing and even thorougher beta testing, we’ve deemed CriticalBlogs fit for public consumption.  The only outstanding issues are minor cosmetic ones and nothing can possiblie go wrong.  Um, that’s possibly go wrong.  Hmm. That’s the first thing that’s ever gone wrong since the official release.  So please signup, tell your friends to signup, get Roger Ebert to signup, write a bunch of reviews, and tell me how stupid my reviews are.

New look for the main page and the default theme. The Critical Default theme is just Wordpress Default with a new header.  The front page is much tidier than before, but still being ironed out.  And I put the nice Ajax search form on the front page too.  It’s neat. 

The new features are more tinyMCE helpers in the visual rich review editor.  The CB icon is a quick way of inserting a link to a movie on CriticalBlogs.  The IMDB icon  is a quick way of inserting a link to a name (cast or crew member) on IMDB.  Both are based on the RumMovie plugin for Wordpress.
