43rumors redesign progress

Good morning!
Wanted to give you a little redesign update.
Things are going forward slowly. The main reason is that there will be a new version of WordPress in few weeks. I am waiting until them before I start to work on it. The good news is that I found a very good Designer which will redo our logo and layout.
I am currently developing the new 43rumors section (deals-photocontest-forum-wiki). All is working very well on my local computer.

I expect to have a first beta version of the website on late January. Keep sending me your suggestions at 43rumors@gmail.com.

43rumors little changes…

Dear readers,
as you may have noticed we have a new deal top bar which easily gives you access to the latest deals. Feel free to submit the deals you find in US-Canada and Europe. Now there is no need anymore to post every single deal as a “classic” 43rumors news!

We also want to ask our Canadian, Australian, Chinese, Hong Kong and Korean friends if there are big online shops in their countries we might include into the deals top bar news. Thanks!

P.S.: Starting from today our canadian readers can support our website by shopping at Amazon Canada through this link..
