Changes and Updates to MobileJaw

Change is good, right? I sure hope so, because I’ve been busy making some changes over the weekend. But not to worry, none of the changes here are anything to be upset about. At least, I don’t think so. The first change was our mobile template. I had this enabled a while back, but turned if off because I was having some problems with the formatting and didn’t have the time to tweak things. It’s back now and looks much better. There will be some tweaks and additions made to the mobile template, but it’s good enough for now.

The next change is for new users. I’ve added reCAPTCHA on the registration page. I’m sure everyone is familiar with CAPTCHA by now. reCAPTCHA is a service that helps to digitize books and newspapers. They use words that the computer was unable to convert to digital format. You can read more about reCAPTCHA here, if you’re interested. Otherwise, just know that by registering here you’re helping to convert books to digital format. I had to enable this to slow and hopefully prevent the bots that are currently registering.

The last change I made was to implement Avatars. In your user profile, you can now choose to upload a small (60x60px) image to display alongside your comments, or you can setup a Gravatar if you would rather have a global avatar across all the sites you visit. (Thanks to the awesome work by Peter Sterling on his Avatar plugin!)

That’s all the changes I made over the weekend.  There are more changes coming along with lots of reviews and giveaways. So stay tuned!
