What better way to kick things off for the year 2009 than to introduce our new design, packed with a better user interface and a few powerful and handy features. It took us a very long time to locate a good WordPress theme which we could customize to fit our needs, but our final search lead us to the Starscape Theme. This theme had everything we were looking for and more.

With this new layout we wanted to:

- have the ability to easily customize the look of the site
- allow visitors to navigate with ease and fast speed through our content
- implement powerful & useful features for the admins and the visitors
- improve the overall speed of the site
- implement digg.com features
- improve users ability to comment and discus our posts
- have the ability to receive user feedback
- allow users to interact with the content instead of simply viewing it
- and believe it or not, we wanted to have a wicked banner!

That was our mission and to see exactly how we managed to accomplish our goals you should continue to read the post below where we provide you screenshots of the new features and some information of how they function.

NOTE: We would be very happy if you gave us comments about what you think of the new design and the new features. All positive and negative opinions are welcomed and we will take everything you say under consideration for future designs for 1VIBE.NET. Thank you!
