�The new website is fantastic. Clean, clear, easy to use and informative. The re-design really works. I found the �word ball� mesmeric and a lot more intuitive to use than I expected. The addition of RSS feed buttons is welcome too. I signed up using Google Reader and the feed works perfectly.�� a comment from one of our readers
