the good news, in which we rotate images and browse by type

Last Thursday night (or was it Friday morning?) we told you we were going to take the site down today. Well, we have good news and good news.
Let me tell you the good news first. We were able to do today’s update without taking down the site at all. This is due to Aaron’s mad skills, and the fact that he made us a good hardware infrastructure in the first place. The changes are actually all in place now.

And now for the good news. The changes include a couple of much wished for features, amongst a multitude of bug fixes.

First on a lot of people’s list is the ability to rotate images. When you’re viewing the image, click the edit button, and you will see ‘rotate left’ and ‘rotate right’ buttons right under the thumbnail image. The other big, fun feature is browsing by media type on the explore pages.

Roll that up with last Thursday’s video processing upgrades, and the forty or so bugs we fixed, and you can see we’ve been pretty busy. We’re not slowing down though. We’ve got a lot more good stuff in the pipeline. I almost can’t wait to tell you about it. Almost.
