I like it guys. Very nice work.

I'm more of an RSS guy than an email one. Will the blog posts always reflect the same content that goes out in the newsletter?

Loving the new site. It looks clean and is instantly usable.

Good work to everyone involved.

Yep, as mentioned in the newsletter (!) ;) the newsletter will now be a highlights package of the month's activities on the website.

Thanks for the positive comments guys, and we're getting a lot of emails through the websites with suggestions already, which is brilliant.

Hehe! See, I'm an RSS guy. That's only 5 years behind the times compared to a newsletter! :P

But really, that's a subtle but really cool shift Mike. A steady flow of info rather than a periodical is probably going to get more eyeballs.

Thumbs up for the upgrade guys!
Easy and intuitive to navigate, and actually find stuff.
It should be a lot easier to introduce newbies to the game now that all the necessary info is packed together and easy to grab.
Congrats to all involved!

One suggestion:
The "resources" tab could have (at least) one more option (possibly called "Fan zone", or whatever you see fit), were ppl could find links to BB fans sites, like "The Old School Picture Archive" (http://www.bloodbowl.org/), the "Blood Bowl Miniatures" (http://www.blood-bowl-miniatures.de/), "Da 40 miners" (http://zlurpeebowl.com/wordpress/), or even "Merry Mayhem News" (http://bloodbowlmayhem.blogspot.pt/), and all others out there.

I understand this might be a massive task to start with, but I suppose it makes sense to show newbies all the 'goodies' out there, after all this game is alive and kicking because of the massive fan support it has (despite what IP owners might plan for it).
Just my 2 cents.

Absolutely - there are lots of good blogs out there too, so that could go in the same section. Good thought.

As I said on the NAF site, really should update the Albion rules. Who should I send them to (and can send the Chaos ones to)?

@Axtlinge, I've put the Fanzone page on. Eventually a database would be good where people can add links themselves, but for the moment I'm happy to adjust manually.

Nice!
That list will probably grow a lot in no time!
(And ton of work to you I suppose...)
