Some CenterNetworks updates! Open ID, Archive, free ads update and more

Alright so I have some updates for you CenterNetworks peeps!

• OpenID support... I have changed the top section which used to house the email RSS signup. Now it houses a login box for OpenID. So pop your id in, and you will be registered. I will call this a beta release, so if you run into any issues, please let me know. So basically you have 3 options on CN. You can remain anonymous and comment, you can register and create a profile (which will work on any Drupal site) or you can use OpenID to create your login. Either way, the best current benefit of registration is that you will see the new content immediately. Anonymous users are on a 30 minute cache. There will be more benefits coming this Spring for registering.
• Archive... several people have asked for a full big-daddy archive page. It has arrived via FedEx and is installed. The link is up in the header or click here to view.
• Forums - I need feedback on the forums. Right now, there are very few posts. If you all don't see a benefit in it, I can remove it. I have added a left menu option so now when you post on the forum, it will post a link on every page on the site. Who else offers that! And coming soon will be the ability to actually post your content on the home page. So let me know what you think of the forums.
• Free ads update - we have over 80 submissions for the free ads. Keep those submissions coming! Currently Tickspot holds the ad slot.
• Some stats notes: we had 70,000 unique visitors last weekend, and 40,000 the Saturday earlier. Traffic is starting to really pick up which is awesome, thank you thank you thank you! Technorati might actually break 5,000 soon, and that's from 10,000 last month. I appreciate all of the links. Perhaps you might be interested in an advertisement on CN?

Thanks for visiting, returning, commenting, rss'ing, advertising, feedbacking, skyping, IMing, chatting, and all the other ing's. I appreciate you stopping by and welcome any feedback you have. Positive or negative, I want to make sure I do my best to service your needs (your web needs that is!)
