New website launched!

I’m happy to announce the launch of our new website! As well as a new paint job, we’ve moved to a WordPress backend which should allow us to update and maintain the site much easier (it’s been a little quite around here, we know).

One new feature that should jump out at you right away is you can now comment on posts and on the chat page using your existing Facebook, Twitter or Yahoo account rather than requesting (and remembering) a separate account for us. If you don’t already have an account at any of these sites, you can make a new account here by registering a Disqus account.

We’re still moving things over from the old site, so some content, photos and videos are currently missing, but we would really appriciate your feedback on how you would like to use the site. Please e-mail or comment your ideas, training notes, resources, photos, videos and news and we will try to update the site regularly.

Thank you for visiting!
