Well, I did it. I redesigned the site and I am already seeing the results in more subscribers and more pageviews per visitor. Right after the redesign, I upgraded the wonderful Wordpress engine that runs the site and although that almost went smoothly, I had a bear with a couple of things and posting today wasn’t as smooth as normal but I charged forward. I also cleared up a lot of bad code and features and augmented some existing ones.

I am particularly excited to introduce the cross-cat function. Now you can see Did You Know Latina Facts or Business Top Stories or Immigration Eye-Openers. I am still working on this for my picks because for some strange reason it doesn’t work. argggh - I can’t believe how powerful and comprehensive my ‘little’ site has become. Please let me know if you experience any strangeness or want to say something good.

- Gracias, Tomás
