Pretty soon, the New YWS won’t be new anymore. Instead we’ll be talking about YWS and the Old YWS. When that happens, I’ll have to update my lexicon.
But for now, it’s still the New YWS and I just finished redoing the blog index page. Here’s how it looks currently:
Wow, this has to be one of the most ambitious projects I have undertaken yet, and it’s still far from done. However, I think it’s safe to now show off YWSmail:
In case you’re wondering, I blanked out the message subjects!
YWSmail is a total and complete revamp of the private messaging system. In fact, it now [...]

If you’re not sure what the new YWS is, click here to read the first update.
So today I’m going over the logging in stuff for the new YWS. This is a fairly simple thing, but encapsulates pretty well how much simpler (and more purdier) everything is going to be. Plus, what everyone tends to forget [...]
I was hoping to get some time in working on the new YWS before showing you the forums today, but a lot of stuff came up today (assignments for school, people moving away) and I wasn’t able to do what I wanted to do. However, I do have a preview screenshot for you:
