Looking great Steffen, Suggestions; Does blogger honour browser locale? I see a German version of the site, which is fine except that I do not understand it! Is there a way to get author information associated with the posts - I presume that you wrote this, but cannot tell for sure. The landing page could be made more useful, linking to project pages and twitter feed. Finally, is there a way to auto-push posts to twitter?
I'd certainly like to post our recent DebianMed experiences; 1. installing Ensembl on Ubuntu, and 2. updating the Ensembl version.
