A couple housekeeping items

We've been doing a little redecorating around here, and I just wanted to call your attention to a couple things that look a little different on the site:

--First, you'll probably notice that the commenting window at the bottom of each blog entry looks a little different. We've redesigned it to make it a little cleaner and easier to use. But as such, those of you using the automatic login feature will need to re-enter your information. That function is more prominently displayed than it was before; it's now just to the right of the name field. You can log in with Google, Facebook, Yahoo, AOL or a number of different accounts. There's also a "like" button now, so you can log in with Facebook and post a link to a blog post directly to your Facebook page, if there's something that caught your eye. You've also got the option to comment anonymously.

--In case you didn't know about it, we've got an automated Twitter account that updates each time one of our Nationals writers files a new blog post. If you're interested in that, you can follow @masnNationals on Twitter. I'm usually in the habit of linking to my posts from my @masnBen account, but this will have all the entries, as well, and it will also contain links to the rest of our Nationals team. The Orioles guys, by the way, have a similar account at @masnOrioles

Let me know if you have any questions about the new look of the commenting feature. Thanks!
