I just finished making a huge change to LinuxLoop.com: a new header/navigation bar. Due to some sloppy coding and some very good coding when I first made this site, the change was both hard in some ways and easy in others. Anyway, it is done now.

My biggest concern with the new design is/was the ad that is now in the header. I don’t want this site to become one of those 50% ads 50% lame content sites. In the end I decided to go ahead with the change for a number of reasons. The main reason was that everyone I showed the new design to liked it better than the old design and I seemed to be the only one who was concerned about the ad.

I think the site looks better now with the new design overall. I would love to hear your opinion on the new design. You may leave a comment, email me (webmaster@linuxloop.com), or use the contact link at the bottom of this page.

I just posted a new tutorial on getting Evolution to work with GMail using IMAP.

I have updated the index page to look a little cleaner and have some more up-to-date information. Tell me what you think of it. I am still manually updating it, though. I would love to find a way to integrate the RSS feed from the Linux News Blog into the home page, but I have not found anything I like.

I am planning to review photo management software for Linux very soon. I have made a list of applications that I plan to try, but I wanted to know what applications you wanted my to try out.

Current List:

• Picasa
• F-Spot
• Gwenview
• Lphoto
• digiKam
• blueMarine
• KoffeePhoto
• jBrout

If you know of other good photo management software, please leave a comment.

Welcome! I set this blog up as a place for readers to have more say in the content and as a place to give a behind-the-scenes look at LinuxLoop.com. Don’t expect daily updates like I do on the Linux News part of this site, though. I will move all the posts on the Linux News Blog marked LinuxLoop.com to this blog, so don’t be surprised when there are a few things from long ago.
