![Screenshot of the new site][1]After two and a half years of grey-on- grey, FreeCulture.org is moving to a new design…that is still mostly grey. Alas. In all seriousness, though, we're very excited about the new look of FreeCulture.org.
Probably the most major change with the new site is that we've moved the entire site into open-source [Wordpress][2], which previously only ran our blog. This will make editing the site's content and appearance in the future more accessible for non-geeks and much easier for everyone. The new site, grey boxes notwithstanding, is a lot more dynamic and includes plenty of pictures and graphics, something the old site didn't have very much of. It also makes it easier for visitors to learn about FreeCulture.org by putting information about the organization and the free culture movement generally right on the front page. The site will see a few tweaks in the coming weeks, likely including a new mailing list signup, web IRC client, an 'issues' page, minor CSS hackery, and some new content and links. But overall, the web team is pretty proud of the new face of FC.o. Thanks to Matthew V., Asheesh, Karen, Nelson, Pascal, Nicholas L., Parker, Alex, and everybody else who helped code, draw, and debug the new design! If you see a problem with the new site, please visit [our bug tracker][3] on Launchpad and file a bug report. (Please file separate bug reports for separate bugs, it makes it easier to keep track.) This is seriously easy, don't worry if you don't have any web design skills, just explain the problem explicitly and in as much detail as you can, including which browser/OS you are using. We can also use help maintaining and improving our website, so if you're interested in helping out just e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] or swing our IRC channel, #freeculture on irc.freenode.net.
